Tomorrow is the National Hill Climb Championships, which we at @irwinmitchell are sponsoring. Money raised is going to the @GNairambulance, helping to ensure that they can carry on delivering life saving support. Great to ride the course today, a relief to not be racing!

A bright, crisp start to this morningโs ride. Autumn is definitively upon us, feeling the chilly 7 degree start! A leisurely ride into the ever spectacular Nidderdale, watching the world go by; winding down after a busy week.

Delighted that the @irwinmitchell London Serious Injury Team maintained its Legal 500 Tier 1 ranking. I'm proud to once again be included as a key lawyer too. The quotes are a real testament to the team's leadership and the breadth of talent across the department.

Can anyone translate this word salad from the Conservatives, the supposed party of law and order? It reads that you can now break the law as long as you're well intentioned? I wonder if that also goes for shoplifting, burglary, fraud etc?

Meanwhile the @DfTstats revealed that in 2022, there were 29,742 killed or seriously injured (KSI) casualties on Great Britainโs roads.
Only the @Conservatives will give people the freedom to travel how they want and when they want. Our long-term plan means: ๐ smoother journeys ๐ stopping unfair enforcement ๐ easier parking ๐ cracking down on inconsiderate driving More here ๐ https://t.co/CYHiL4tWTq

27 days until the @Cycling_T_T National Hill Climb Championships, sponsored by @irwinmitchell. Based on my form this weekend, Iโm thankful to not be racing. Instead Iโll be cheering riders along at the roadside. Hopefully see some of you in Ambleside on 29 October 2023!

The Department for Transport's latest data provides striking insights into the sheer number of lives affected by road danger. Tough to see that biker fatalities increasing by 4%. However, it is encouraging to see a decrease for pedestrian and pedal cyclist casualties.
The DfT today unveiled the final 2022 road casualty data for GB at our National Safer Roads Partnershipsโ Conference. Sadly, the figures show that 29,742 people were killed or seriously injured on our roads last year: https://t.co/dGASUhuMmc

At the @allpartycycling Road Justice report launch. Compelling recommendations for improving road safety through greater deterrents, empowering the justice system. As put by @Chris_Boardman, road crime is already accommodated through license points.
