Ride for safe cycling in Bristol

[Catalyse Change @CatalyseCh]

Are our Streets Safe enough for #cycling ?

With £6m pledged to improve infrastructure in #Bristol the subject is an increasingly hot topic.

Instead of viewing #streets as spaces to move vehicles quickly through, what if we reimagined these valuable slices of real estate as places to build community, encourage healthier lifestyles, improve air quality, and support local economies?

I've just signed @friends_earth's petition to stop a new coal mine from being built in Cumbria.

If we’re serious about tackling the climate crisis then one new coal mine is a coal mine too many.

Will you add your voice too? #NoNewCoal https://t.co/JIqavgVpSv

How do cities turn this moment into a permanent, pedal-powered movement?

Infrastructure.
Infrastructure.
Infrastructure.

Build a cohesive network that enables people to travel from anywhere to everywhere.

We can assure you it’s possible.

[Melissa & Chris Bruntlett @modacitylife]

Cycling isn’t inherently a “macho high-speed hobby”. Decades of car-centric street design made it that way.

In cities that have reversed this trend, cycling is a means of emancipation and participation in society, for demographic groups long excluded from most mobility networks.

[Melissa & Chris Bruntlett @modacitylife]

The work commute is statistically the longest and least frequent type of journey we make in a day. Yet it dominates transport planning.

Now more than ever, cities must build cycle networks to support recurring local trips: to the corner store, café, community center, or school.

[Cycle Sunday @cyclesunday]

Brilliant clip @beardedjourno so great to see them cycling through the city centre. 😀😀

[Martin Booth @beardedjourno]

At the beginning of this year there was no way that I would have felt comfortable cycling with my five- and nine-year-old daughters from Hotwells to St Paul’s. @BristolCouncil, keep up the great work encouraging cycling and do please make these pop-up lanes permanent.

Oops - I meant "finishes at midnight tonight"! 7 hours to go and we are about to hit an exciting milestone in terms of survey responses!!

[Cycle Sunday @cyclesunday]

[Cycle Sunday @cyclesunday]

Wow - those 8 weeks have FLOWN by! It's the final day of our #DownsLoop public consultation. Bristolians have been responding in their hundreds! Can you help us with a final push before midnight tonight? https://t.co/cCQ28Dljms

[Cycle Sunday @cyclesunday]

BRISTOL! We're down to the last 3 days of our #DownsLoop survey! We want to hear from all over the city - have you responded yet? https://t.co/84yMqNUco3

[Cycle Sunday @cyclesunday]

@beardedjourno Thanks so much for the shout out @beardedjourno ! Bristol folk, pls give us your views on the Downs Loop. Don't let the CAVE people (Citizens Against Virtually Everything) block change up at the Downs. This weekend, please have your say! https://t.co/bgU6WkOkkF

[Cycle Sunday @cyclesunday]

@playingout Thanks for the shout out! Yes, yes, yes please fill in our survey whichever part of Bristol you come from. The Downs is a citywide resource and we would love to hear YOUR views! Consultation finishes on Weds 30th Sept. https://t.co/FxLTHcQgz8

@AmandaSCameron Hi there Amanda - thanks for your article about the Downs Loop: accessible paths for all users! Is it possible to put our up to date map in the article? It is here and if you DM me with your email I can send you the whole proposal. Thanks so much, Vicki

[Cycle Sunday @cyclesunday]

What a great day you had for the ride. Looks wonderful.

[Zoe Banks Gross (she/her) @ZoeBanksGross]

Super sunny #bicycle #kidicalmass adventures in #Bristol. We had a small group and managed ca 20 km, mostly on traffic free routes to make it possible for the 5 year old too. We need more #spaceforcycling and the next generation. #getoutside #diversifyoutdoors

[Bristol Health Partners @BristolHealthP]

"The pandemic has shown that access to green space in Bristol is not equal and that needs to change."

Join us on 1 October to hear from @ZoeBanksGross on how #COVID19 has highlighted how we need safe outdoor spaces now more than ever: https://t.co/kjeTzYs90F
