Me and the family at @kidicalmassmcr on Sunday. What a blast! Big up to @luxerama for rigging up our @ternbicycles cargo bike with his home made bike carrier-trailer. Ended up being a much appreciated taxi for bikes and little people with tired legs! All the love ❤️🚲
A plea to anybody out there with a live in vehicle ticket pass that they have available to sell for @GreenManFest. Anybody??? We are really in need 🙏🏻🙏🏻xx
Michael wasn’t just a rock solid friend, he was an incredibly generous human to everyone he worked with. He basically invented a genre of science broadcasting: experimenting on himself, talking about his medical problems, being a curious human being not an ivory tower expert. 🧵
A 22 year old woman cyclist was killed in Didsbury on Friday.
Every death on our roads is avoidable.
In no other sphere would we allow the scene of a death to reopen within hours, unchanged.
#VisionZero is meaningless if not intervening wherever a road’s proven dangerous.
Bad things happen when leaders are appointed just because they fit “the type” rather than being any good. Posh accent, arrogant, privately educated, all the connections, supremely confident & condescending & totally useless. God I’ve met so many like this. https://t.co/6CTW4rpmPP
Remember, again, inflation may be down, but prices are much higher than they were 3 years ago. Prices are not coming down. They are rising more slowly.
Our latest petition to @ManCityCouncil is now taking off. If you agree with us that there should be a proper park on the remaining half of the former Central Retail Park in Ancoats, please sign and share https://t.co/NXRJVOpsfX
We are assisting at an historical moment. Thank you Ireland for taking this important step towards justice, hence towards peace. This brings joy and sadness at the same time. Why has it taken so many years? So much death? So much suffering?
When I grow up I want to become Cate Blanchett, and have the subtlety to think the carpet is already red, so I can just wear a black & white dress with green lining to make such a strong point. #cannes2024
This is AMAZING and encouraging - and a sign of how things can shift quickly after a long time of not seeming to change much, whilst in the background people campaign hard, get made fun off, & go to boring meetings and fun protests. What a brillliant day! 😎🚲👨👧 @Kidicalmassmcr
Three years ago Winchmore Hill Green was basically a sleepy car park with little footfall.
After full pedestrianisation it’s now a thriving centre for the community, and businesses are delighted.
#PedestrianisationWorks and if you’re a Councillor, push for it in your patch!
The most exciting change is happening at the local level; in communities, councils, amongst neighbours. We can’t hang on for a new government, a spending review; there are changes we can make on Monday. Courage to liberate frontline teams to start with the person not the service
Check this out!!! Is there anything more smile inducing or energising than seeing soooooo many families freely and safely cycling their city centre ??? Sunday 19th May 24- Manchester families, loudly, said "we are serious about pedal power, more please!"
All the love ❤️
