In 5 years, @PuffaJones FreeBikes4Kids has fixed up & given away over 3,000 bikes. Our project has given away over 1,000 to refugees. That's over 4,000 bikes in 5 years into Newport for free, reducing landfill and getting people cycling. We both rely on donations and fundraising

Would you consider fostering a young refugee like us ? We spoke about it on ITV Wales news last night. Contact @foster_wales for an initial chat to see if you can help out. All you need is a spare room and some spare parenting capacity. There's a huge shortage. Expenses are paid.

Our indoor secure bike storage run by @SpokeSafe is looking quite full today. The new android and apple app have improved functionality. Why not get a bike or ebike and do your bit to reduce congestion and air pollution by cycling into Newport city centre? https://t.co/hI52mwTqUO

Delighted to see a non standard e-bike in our @spokesafe in Newport today. We were eager to ensure it was open and accessible to all. Everyone should have the choice to cycle and store their bike safely if they want. This user made my day https://t.co/hI52mwTqUO PedallingThePort

Our volunteers fixed 7 bikes today & gave away 4. I rode in to the city by ebike along the Usk, knowing it will be safe in Spokesafe - why not join me in tackling climate change, reducing congestion & boost your wellbeing ! https://t.co/hI52mwTqUO

Clean air legislation must include targets for nitrogen dioxide, one of the key air pollutants that is harming our health! Watch this clip of our vice Chair, Haf Elgar from @foecymrucydd giving evidence on the Environment (Air Quality and Soundscape) Bill. https://t.co/cq2aYPti5L

It's 10 years since implementation of Active Travel Act - a piece of legislation I was able to take through when I was in Welsh Gov. Since then we have seen more investment in more cycle lanes, more encouragement for walking and linking up with public transport. @SustransCymru

We are grateful for our partnership with @NewportCityH who own our bike shop unit, are doing great community redevelopment work across the City and house so many of our refugee tenants. And we are in this video at their latest city centre project π https://t.co/E4J66GVeGS
