Initial results from our research on active travel promotion by physiotherapists are surprising - please share survey widely to contribute before publication. See https://t.co/PAYksOgBYM

What do 37,000 km. of separated cycle lanes get the Dutch?

74 minutes of cycling per week per capita; preventing 6,500 premature deaths and €19 billion in healthcare costs each year.

Ask not whether your country can afford to invest in cycling—ask whether it can afford not to.

@physiotalk There is some evidence continuing to run with OA doesn’t lead to worse symptoms or joint changes but there is usually an upper limit for training for each person in terms of their symptoms. Best to stay below this and gradually progress towards goals. #physiotalk

There could be 50000 less strokes per year, in the UK, if people had treatment for hypertension. Year after year, huge expensive campaigns, please ask your friends, your work colleagues.....

Don’t measure it during football rugby or when trying to argue with a toddler 👍

Reflecting on the #AHPsActive month and my resolution not to use the car within 2 miles of home...managed it without any difficulty apart from the big weekly shop and a late night drop off with child...my kids used their bikes and legs more too!
