Bikeability instructor after winding down from long career in communications. So life on two wheels now a passion & a profession

[David Wiggins @davidjwiggins]

When I’m delivering Bikeability in schools we cover the hazards of passing parked cars, including ‘car dooring’. If we can get people to reach for the door handle like this life for cyclists would be safer & smoother. Take a quick look & share if you agree. Please.

Do you #DoTheDutchReach? It's a simple change of habit that could save a life.

We've launched a film in partnership with @UberUK to highlight the dangers of car-dooring for cyclists & how drivers can avoid it. Check out the full video: https://t.co/GbJro1nb49

As well as the new bridge from Heaton Norris Park to the town centre, there will be improved links across the A6 and Belmont Way. We'll be asking the council lots of questions about this scheme soon!

Huge congrats to @lizziedeignan for victory in today’s Women’s Tour of Britain. Amazing comeback shows that there is a work life balance with the right support

[Walk Ride Heatons @WalkRideHeatons]

Nobody wants to live on a rat run. Tell us about the ones near you, and we'll do our best to get them addressed.

These would be nice in Urmston @Joanne13Harding @BeeUrmston

Brilliant to have @Chris_Boardman and @jude_wells5 launch the first Parklet and pocket park in GM on Bridgefield St, Stockport - hope we see lots more of these soon @kirsty_mccb @WalkRideGM @WalkRideHeatons @StockportMBC @OfficialTfGM @TPT_National @SustransNW @DavidSedgwick

Boris Johnson says with a straight face he will "unite this country and unite this society".

The same man who described black people as "piccaninnies", mocked Muslim women as "bank robbers" and peddled lies throughout the referendum.

Britain deserves so much better than this.

Don't do this, folks. Pavements are for people.

[GB Cycling Embassy @GBCycleEmbassy]

Many Toucan and Puffin crossings in the UK operate on the principle that if motor traffic is approaching the crossing, the lights will stay red for people walking and cycling. That’s fundamentally wrong. https://t.co/7cwwiGn1pZ

Stockport town centre, unfortunately 😔

[Walk Ride Heatons @WalkRideHeatons]

Tonight @StockportMBC invited Stockport's many @WalkRideGM groups to chat about the Bee Network, talk about our ideas and learn how to work with them to put together future bids. Other councils – take note on what can be done!

@WeAreCyclingUK brilliant feature by @ZEBRAONABIKE on her epic ride round British coast. Truly all ability cycling despite chronic illness #inspirational

[David Wiggins @davidjwiggins]

99.4% of pedestrians killed on UK roads involve a motor vehicle. Why then is Government focus on creating new offences for cycling? Make the laws of road equal for all - don't discriminate #roadjustice.
Here’s how you can make a change: https://t.co/q3WWLQ23HP

Been waiting to post this for a year. Joe Wright, director of Darkest Hour, leads 450 MPs in a warmup sing of Hey Jude between takes. Gary Oldman as Churchill makes an entrance at the end.

Darkest Hour is released in the UK today. Hope you like it
