Everyone deserves choice when it comes to travel.

The 'Plan for the Motorist' denies people their health and freedom by leaving them no option but to drive.

We need your support to speak up for cycling, now more than ever: https://t.co/LAaH7MTvqC

It's really not #DCW without @ThePhilpster

Today, we lost a visionary.

Gordon Moore, thank you for everything.

@PassPixi @markandcharlie @theJeremyVine @simonmacmichael Had exactly this conversation with Avon & Somerset Police this week - response can't tell you because of GDPR. I pointed out that I'm not asking for any personal or identifying information and now they haven't responded. TBF they do action them I just don't know how!

[Andy Powell @ajbpow]

@Neil_BIM Yes - I'm sure I'll catch up with you at some point this week!

[Andy Powell @ajbpow]

It's been a long 3 years since Autodesk have been able to hold this event and nearly a decade since I last attended but I'm very much looking forward to #AU2022 learning a lot and connecting with a lot of my #Ramboll colleagues over the next few days.

@Neil_BIM Taking the acclimatization up a notch I see!

Too many drivers don’t care that you’re someone’s wife, daughter, grandad or son… but they do care about their licence and insurance. That’s why we made PassPixi. Visit us at https://t.co/4XKXoOqLIt #Cycling #ClosePass

[Andy Powell @ajbpow]

@spikeb87 @pedalmania1 @cycling_person @UKCycleChat Been using one for 18 months and would recommend. Heavy and needs to be centrally mounted battery life is amazing image quality great, never failed to get the images I need off of it. Took a little faff to mount but now very happy. Need XL for full weatherproofing great value.

@TarmacLtd You claim to be a sustainable company - but the actions of your drivers aren't very friendly for those of us who commute in a sustainable manner. Police reported. Would suggest you get all your drivers to read this https://t.co/qnQJG3Qfli @PassPixi @roadcc

'I think the children and the future deserve that.'

'Just Stop Oil' activists protested across London this weekend to demand an end to the fossil fuel economy. Meanwhile, the cost of living crisis means many people are paying more & more for fuel. Are oil protests justified?

[Andy Powell @ajbpow]

When I commute now I use a camera all the time - this is not an acceptable standard of driving and ASPolice take it seriously. Don't stop me reducing my carbon footprint - learn to pass cyclist safely or face the consequences.

[ASPolice Roads Policing (RPU) @ASPRoadSafety]

One of the worst #closepass reports we've received.

Footage viewed several times in court on Tuesday to accentuate the gravity of the overtaking manoeuvre. Driver received:

Points: 9
Fine: £660
Surcharge: £66
Costs: £110

Handy guide to commenting on cycling… @UKCycleChat

[Cycling UK @WeAreCyclingUK]

Did you know 52% of all sub 5 miles trips are made by car? Cycling is a planet-saving alternative yet receives a fraction of the investment of major roads projects.

It's time for politicians to invest so that everyday cycling is accessible for all: https://t.co/k5unlM5kH9 #COP26

[Andy Powell @ajbpow]

When work and personal interest overlap. Cycling to reduce carbon and how everyone can do their little bit for a better planet.

Here’s the perfect illustration of why cameras on their own aren’t enough of a deterrent. Could you spot it while approaching at 30-40mph? (It’s under the seat rails) #ClosePass #Cycling #gopro #cycliq

[ASPolice Roads Policing (RPU) @ASPRoadSafety]

Two wheels this month.

If we want to reduce casualties and improve the cycling environment, we must be proactive in our approach.

Out today with our cycle cameras and trialling an Airvest made for cyclists.
Taking the lead from horse riders and motorcyclists on safety.

@roadcc Your Claris group set is probably pretty safe

[Andy Powell @ajbpow]

@PassPixi @DriftInnovation Reported to the appropriate authorities. I think sometimes drivers don't realise just how frightening a pass that close is for a rider.

[Andy Powell @ajbpow]

@PassPixi @DriftInnovation First commute for a while and to start with the PassPixi sign definitely had an effect. However not everyone seems to see it.
Not acceptable from a "professional" driver. Narrow A road, emerging traffic at junction and a rough surface
#closepass

[Andy Powell @ajbpow]

@TheMarkMack @PassPixi @DriftInnovation Standard response in this situation - "GET OVER!!!!!!!"
