Canada is facing an escalating public health crisis: the surging prevalence of type 2 diabetes. @CanHealthwatch @CKSkinnerWrites https://t.co/UZUl8eG3JL

The Next Steps Survey is the first nationwide survey to document Canadians’ understanding of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, their perceived risk, and attitudes towards available resources. Please share widely ⏩⏩⏩ #preventioniskey #nextstepssurvey https://t.co/jPoNFqpj8j

@WHO is pleased to announce the launch of new global comparable estimates of the prevalence of physical inactivity.

To learn more about the results and the implications for policy, research and practice, register for the first of two webinars 🔗 https://t.co/PiyHYKpocn

A great presentation from @lwhitmarsh reminding us of the central role of behaviour change scientists in addressing the climate emergency at @IBTNetwork

Here’s an idea for better cities: Make owners of big SUVs & pickups pay more for parking permits.

That's what's happening in Montreal, the first North American city to try it.

In @CityLab, I explored a novel way to fight back against car bloat. 🧵

We're #ReadyFor20mph!

Yesterday Wales became the first country in the UK to introduce a life-saving 20mph default speed limit to most roads in built-up areas: https://t.co/Y5bHXFIphq

Dear @RishiSunak, to save lives the cuts to the active travel budget must be reversed.

We have written to the Prime Minister, along with 146 other organisations, to protest the backwards decision to reduce cycle lane funding in England by 75%: https://t.co/pp9yaTqjUW

[EuropeActive @Europe_Active]

📢 A new study published in @TheLancet highlights the enormous cost of inaction on physical inactivity to public health-care systems 🤔

In short: it's huge and could reach approximately $47·6 billion per year 💸

It's time to act and better promote physical activity!

[Cycling UK @WeAreCyclingUK]

According to research from #Shimano, almost 75% of the UK population feels there hasn't been any improvement in cycle infrastructure in the last year.

Take action! Tell your MP to make England's planning system cycle-friendly: 🏘️ https://t.co/QSfTOI6s4b #PedalPoweredPlanning

When children cycle, what benefits does it bring for parents, carers and families?

[Bike Is Best @BikeIsBestHQ]

New and welcome evidence that when people get electric bikes they ride more and ride further. Electric bikes are fun to ride and they make every journey a little easier. With better infrastructure they can transform towns, cities and rural life #BikeIsBest https://t.co/UglBZLq5v3

[Walk Wheel Cycle Trust @WalkWheelCycleT]

"There’s no doubt in my mind that e-bikes can replace the car."🙌
Last year we launched a free #EBike loan scheme in Wales, to help people use cars less. Gemma and her family took part and enjoyed travelling by e-bike so much they've now bought their own.👇https://t.co/FMbdKGIvgZ

[Jessica Bourne @j_bourne17]

Let's not forget about rural communities which also require safe AT infrastructure https://t.co/Ay5SHVj6eR

[Walk Wheel Cycle Trust @WalkWheelCycleT]

Safety is the single largest barrier to more people #cycling, according to Bike Life 2019 data. Almost half of residents who didn't cycle or cycled infrequently, said that concerns about safety put them off riding a bike. We need safe active travel infrastructure across the UK.

[Jessica Bourne @j_bourne17]

@heartsmilkbank @comicrelief It looks great 👍

[Active Travel England @activetraveleng]
