We’ve changed our name to reflect the wider appeal of active travel. The new profile picture was taken in Lyon, where anyone can feel safe on a bike. Could it have been taken in Sevenoaks? I think not.

A ban on pavement parking, high quality cycling infrastructure, a 20mph limit on local streets & changes to the #HighwayCode are amongst measures recommended by new alliance of #cycling and #walking orgs in a new manifesto known as 'Moving the Nation'.

“Let’s get more normal people who cycle in front of the media,” says @LauraHales1 from @WeAreCyclingUK and @AndyBurnhamGM agrees that the press to speak for a wider range of people. Why is there not an outcry over children and air pollution? #cycleactivecity

Great idea to get more people fixing up their own bikes - use this workshop under supervision for £5 per hour and get back on the road @RideOnExeter - and they can source the components too. Will be using this! @Sevcycleforum

Bristol record 4 fewer fatalities, 11 fewer serious injuries and 159 fewer injuries per year on roads after implementing 20mph limits. Cost savings are £15m per year. #20splenty https://t.co/VtfRS77r6p

Government subsidised pollution! Environmental costs must be factored into pricing. Cheap plastic too expensive! Time to act!

After a HGV driver crushed a Southampton cyclist, MP @Royston_Smith said cyclists should "stick to routes that have cycle lanes on them." In June, Smith wanted cycleway spending to be stopped. https://t.co/LUg3NC1reM

I can certainly agree with that! https://t.co/LyuTV2mFhq

Sugar, yes https://t.co/Q5GkeumLge @giles_fraser, but also not having activity in daily life. Couldn't you consider walking/cycling now?

A key design detail the Dutch get right: Cycle tracks w/ clear visual continuity, making it clear who has priority. https://t.co/spkfOh2wmL

[Roland Courtney @CourtneyRoland]

Would it be too much to ask for pedestrians to be given back their pavements? #sevenoaks #illegalparking @SevenoaksMums @SDC_Chairman

A tad disappointed to meet these obstacles on a signposted national cycle network Route in Warwickshire @Sevcycleforum

[Clean Air in London @CleanAirLondon]

#Sevenoaks @LondonAir monitor hit staggering 200 ug/m3 ozone #airpollution at 1pm. Everyone should consider reducing activity to stay safe
