Cycling is a simple, affordable, and environmentally friendly means of transport. Increasing walking and cycling could reduce transport sector emissions by 50%. On #WorldBicycleDay discover how a UNEP-led plan is encouraging cycling in Africa: https://t.co/MmW6XFWWIT

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” @AlbertEinstein's life advice in a letter to his son Eduard on 5 February 1930. In the picture, Einstein is riding a bicycle in Santa Barbara, USA in 1933. #WorldBicycleDay

Fantastic to see the @livingstreets new, in-depth report on creating safe, inclusive bus stop, pavement & cycle track provision for #Disabled people on streets where traffic levels mean protected cycleways are needed for safety. #MyCycleMyMobilityAid

Ensuring walking/wheeling, cycling, public transport & often private vehicle access for all #Disabled people is critical. We've created three discussion graphics to help consider some of the issues & some possible solutions Alt text for pictures is on image, for text is in thread

"God no, have you been to Sheffield?" I know that we have plenty of hills, but this isn't a great endorsement of Labour in Sheffield by their own MP for Heeley and Shadow Transport Minister, @LouHaigh. We need more active travel to improve personal health and air quality.

The DfT’s decision earlier this year to cut the budget for cycling and walking schemes in England by around 75 percent, can be legally challenged, following a decision at the High Court

“It’s obvious that ministers are no longer serious, whether about their commitments to cut congestion, improve travel choices, address climate change, or clean up our air”

Our Director illustrating why #ActiveTravel makes so much sense for her as a wheelchair user: health benefits + time saving + reduced stress & discomfort compared to wheeling on footways. We fight for the choice to travel actively, whether #Walking, #Wheeling or #Cycling for all
🧵 about the incredible benefits of clip-on handcycling for me as a wheelchair user. Had a medical appt this am in Central London. I'm super privileged to have transport choices. Why did I choose a multi-modal active travel trip? 1. Driving + hassle of parking 1.25hr

When we're told we're a "nation of drivers", so many of us are excluded. We need safe streets, accessible pavements, comprehensive cycle and mobility networks and high quality public transport in order to provide #MobilityJustice and #Equity to all. https://t.co/hCTNw8t4DB

The 'Plan for Drivers' robs people of their travel choices, entrenching congestion and pollution. LTNs and 20mph zones are vital measures that support people to cycle, freeing up road space for those who really do need to drive. Act now! Write to the PM: https://t.co/Udz1I3vTK6

Want to support the taxi trade? It's been shown that private car ownership within LTNs drops by about 1% per year after 1st year of implementation - people without their own cars are more likely to get a taxi for journeys they can't walk or cycle but would have driven themselves!
