@lozmurf27 @WorsleyInfo @whitetyson1976 I've always wondered how commuters manage in the dark ie early morn and eve after work especially after clocks go back. There's no lights. Is it OK?

[Worsley.info @WorsleyInfo]

Can’t believe how popular the Loopline has become since lockdown. Great to have such a brilliant space to walk in #GreenSalford. This little film is a reminder of why it’s there in the first place.

As good a time as any to start a thread of videos about cycle tracks around the world.
First up is this one from Turkey.

Oh my word how pretty is this😍

With enough space for 8,000 bicycles, The Hague recently opened one of the Netherlands' biggest bike parking facilities.

The space is filled with murals depicting abstract representations of the city’s skyline, inspired by Dutch graphic artist MC Escher.

Been at this for 20yrs, never thought I’d see the day.

Very important that this is visible on social media:

For every 1 person objecting to even temporary active travel measures, more than 6 support.

Make sure the vast majority aren’t drowned out by the angry minority. Sign their petition. Get others to sign it. 👇

Is this a crash? No!
Just an everyday family trying to get bikes through type of obstacle-course entrance rife in UK 😖 🚲
👇 one commando rolls under! 👏

Walked around Ancoats and the NQ. The street I thought needs most improvement Red Hill Street, Ancoats. Constant stream of traffic in both directions, noise on cobbles, awful. Not surprised family in background were cycling on the pavement. A662 runs adjacent, Needs filtering.

[Urban Cycling Institute 🚲  @fietsprofessor]

Its not irresponsible to let young children cycle in your city.

It is irresponsible to have policies that make the streets unsafe for them!

[Walk Ride Salford @WRSalford]
