Another absolutely stunningly written but hard-hitting piece about women and cycling. My fantastic colleague @BronWeatherby has written about her personal barriers to riding a bike in Bristol - this will resonate with many people https://t.co/dUvI27tr70

Leave room for cyclists at traffic lights 🚦Drivers 🚗⛟🚜🛵 shouldn't enter the advanced stop line box when the light is red. This space is reserved for the safety of cyclists & you maybe liable for a £100 fixed penalty and three points on your licence. #SafetyTip #SafetyFirst

Interesting new article - 'A ride for whom: Has cycling network expansion reduced inequities in accessibility in Montreal, Canada?' A: generally yes (though some areas still poorly connected); but not for children. https://t.co/EqMEdu0Zbx

[Conservative Friends of Cycling & Walking @ToryCycling]

Good part: Govt recognises bicycle infrastructure is a good way of moving lots of people cheaply and effectively, and some@cities have some excellent schemes.
Bad part: £6.5m buys you about quarter of a mile of motorway, and govt still not backing up good intentions with £££ https://t.co/JZmIqaQKE7

#20'sPlenty - at last! Quite fast enough in a narow residential street, with many children and older people - and too many parked cars! Well done @hertscc
