Local MP @steve_mccabe loves a survey, as those on his mailing list know.

This week constituents have turned the tables, responding to his dismissive tweet with a simple question: which streets would he judge safe enough for primary aged children to cycle on?

"The automobile has dissolved the living tissue of the city. Its appetite for space is absolutely insatiable; moving and parked, it devours urban land, leaving buildings as mere islands of habitable space in a sea of dangerous and ugly traffic."

Never forget, a 13-year study of a dozen cities found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. As for sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them. V/@StreetsblogUSA https://t.co/vTLLMEQiYe

How often do you hear “speed was not a factor” in a crash? They mean the driver wasn’t exceeding the (probably too high) speed limit. Remember, when it comes to the likelihood that vehicle crashes will occur, & whether the consequences are deadly or not, SPEED IS ALWAYS A FACTOR.

Safe to say we’ve been @iamblackpeppa stans from Episode 1… but we couldn’t stop thinking about the fate of Paulette Cherry’s phenomenal headpiece. 😫 So we put our Bournville chocolatiers to WERK! 👑🍫 Tag @iamblackpeppa below so we can get them their crown! #TeamBlackPeppa

6.000 children were killed on EU roads in the last 10 years. @ETSC_EU maps what vehicles were involved when a child is killed (in 2020)?

Here's the *real* future of transport (sorry, Elon):

The Non-Polluting,
Autonomy-Building,
Fitness-Enhancing,
Happiness-Producing,
Self-Driven Vehicle.

A prime minister that worked for Shell and will massively expand drilling
An energy secretary that profits from coal and denies climate change
A chancellor that killed a windfall tax on oil & gas.
The capture of the British government by the fossil fuel industry is complete

A bike-lane moved 2.5X as many people as a regular traffic lane in a @TFL study, & given that they are half the width, the study concluded that bike-lanes are 5X as efficient as vehicle traffic lanes. HT @urbanthoughts11

The North Atlantic is experiencing an unprecedented marine heatwave, with the region experiencing its warmest water temperatures in recorded history.

This could have major implications for marine ecosystems and recurving hurricanes advancing towards Europe this fall.

6 tonnes of solid fuel will be burned each second to send a ship around the moon whilst the Earth hits record global temperatures.....is there a priorities issue here?
