Physical barriers make it harder for many people to use the #NationalCycleNetwork and can prevent access altogether❌

Find out how we're working with local authorities across the UK to remove restrictive barriers and ensure routes are more accessible👇

@wonderfullyarty @SaskiaHeijltjes What if kids could safely transport themselves? Wouldn't that be great - for them, and for the people who would otherwise have to drive them. https://t.co/MvbhqKgV93

In a car-obligatory society, teens rely on parents to chauffeur them to and from sports; counting down the days until they can drive themselves.

In a car-optional one, they’ve already been navigating their city for years; moving safely, happily, and healthily with their friends.

BREAKING

High Court gives @TransportActio2 permission to judicially review the @transportgovuk decision to cut walking & cycling funding.

More to follow.

Please continue to support our legal challenge if you're able to

We can all do our bit to call out dangerous driving and make it clear it's not welcome in our communities.

I'm really grateful to Birmingham's @GreenLaneMasjid for producing this hard-hitting film on road safety.

One mistake behind the wheel can change lives forever.

[Cycleways @ken2leam]

@WarksHighways Prams and wheelchairs go where?

[Cycling UK @WeAreCyclingUK]

A U-turn on safe residential roads would destroy any hopes of a cycle-friendly future.

Tell politicians that you want action for safer cycling in England.

Great work from our East Midlands team 👏
We're working hard to remove restrictive barriers like these from routes across the UK to make the National Cycle Network more accessible to everyone 👇

Live reaction of my boyfriend and I trying the new ‘bike lane’ on ‘High St Ken’. 😅

So disappointing. I’m all for “be grateful for any progress”, but this is a joke. It isn’t even on the high street!… 🤦🏻‍♀️

Warwickshire County Council is urging residents to report any Highways faults that they encounter while driving or walking in the county via its website.

A resident has shared their petition with me asking for the final short phase of the Binley cycleway to be completed in full to a high-quality standard, avoiding shared use paths.

[Cycleways @ken2leam]

Yes, please.

[The Rest Is Tw*tter @rorymeakin]

Southwark council has a new transport strategy:
* Benches every 100m
* Water fountains
* Street furniture in carriageways
* 2.4m pavements, 4m in busy areas
* Crossings on desire lines
* Parking-free junctions
* More cycle hire & motorbike parking

[Adam Tranter @adamtranter]

Pavement parking is dangerous and unacceptable.

Some of it can and should be enforced right now using tools already available to local authorities and the Police.

But we also urgently need national legislation to get on top of the problem.

A useful thread for cyclists with a video camera.

[Greggs 💙 🇾🇪 🇵🇸 @AnnGreggsRN]

@CycleSad @PPushbike @CyclingInASkirt @syptweet @CycleSheffield Definitely a great improvement - and a super constructive email today

[Cycleways @ken2leam]

Teenagers' voices are missing from policy making, and we need to do more to meet their active travel needs.

[Melissa & Chris Bruntlett @modacitylife]

With 58% of all trips nationally made by bike, teenagers are among the biggest beneficiaries of Dutch infrastructure.

From a young age, they enjoy the freedom of a driver’s license; without the added stress, cost and danger.

[Shivaji Shiva @ShivajiShivaLaw]

I would love to see local councillors come together to start to deliver on reducing road deaths.

@for_birmingham is communicating with @BrumLeader with that in mind.

If you are concerned about road violence in the city, please raise those concerns with your councillor(s).

[Miriam Pinski @mirijulip]

Worried about political backlash to charging for parking? Take London's lead - they didn't hold public meetings about it. Instead they surveyed residents about their preferences, who cared more about trees, green space and uncluttered sidewalks.

[The Bicycle Bus @the_bicycle_bus]

Tonight I attended talks at @ken2leam meeting, 1 speaker was @adamtranter, West Mids Commissioner for 🚶‍♂️& 🚴‍♂️.
Adam inspired me to start The Bicycle Bus in 2020 so I was excited to hear him and meet him.
Now I feel energised more than ever to build on it #BikeBus #activetravel
