This is what you can get with less motors and more safe #cycling space - relaxed cycling for all.
You can learn a great deal about the quality of a city’s cycling network by the number and variety of people navigating its streets on the weekend: riding to the shops, a sports activity, or friend’s house. Some scenes from the streets of The Hague on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

In Sudan, Arab Islamist gangs are kidnapping and rounding up black Christian women and children for slavery. Over 3,000 have been killed in the last few days. Where’s the UN? Where’s the Palestinian protest crowd? Where’s Greta, BLM, and the so-called human rights activists?!

The images and footage coming out of Sudan are truly horrendous and heartbreaking on so many levels: unimaginable brutality, heartbreak, suffering of civilians, famine, and an exceptionally bloody civil war between members of the same national homeland. What has been

🎃 Halloween costumes are like single-use plastics. 🗑️ Most of them are made with polluting plastics like polyester, worn only once, and then thrown away. 🪄✨But with a little creativity and imagination you can concoct a plastic-free and low- waste outfit—without adding more

School gate risk - While having 20mph outside a school is laudable, that immediate area accounts for just 1 in 5 casualties. Children need protection of 20mph on the whole of their journey to and from school, whether they are walking, wheeling or cycling.

BREAKING: Gazans are pleading with the world to stop Hamas from continuing public executions, saying that hundreds have been murdered in just the past 72 hours. Where is the media? Where are all of the Western ‘pro-Palestinians?’

🚴♀️ Paris saw a +240% surge in cycling (2018–2023) — proof that bold mobility policy works. Safe lanes, secure parking & better design turned bikes from niche to normal. When cities invest, people ride. #Cycling #UrbanMobility #Paris

He was shot by Palestinians who hate Hamas, the terrorist group he was a chief propagandist for, you utter loon.
The shooting of Palestinian journalist Saleh Aljafarawi is an obscenity beyond words. The targeting and murder of Palestinian journalists MUST now be the subject of independent criminal investigations.

Today, we also remember the Arab, Muslim, Bedouin, African, Thai & other peoples who were murdered and taken hostage by Hamas's ruthless & evil fascist terrorism on Oct.7 2023. That fateful day had nothing to do with "resistance" or occupation; it was horrid animalistic barbarism

Today marks two years since October 7th 2023 - the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. On that day, Hamas unleashed a wave of barbaric violence, murdering over 1,200 innocent men, women and children, and abducting 251, 48 remain in captivity. We remember all

October 7, 2023 Was the End of Palestinianism, Not the Beginning. For 25 years, I fought to steer Palestinians from victimhood to peace, working relentlessly to halt suicide bombings and revive the peace process. I pleaded with my father, a Hamas co-founder, to choose

What were these "pro-Palestine" activists protesting? Demanding that Hamas accept the deal to end the war & "genocide" in Gaza? Denouncing the antisemitic terror attack against a Jewish Synagogue in Manchester? Of course not! Just more insanity, division, hatred & embarrassment💔

Next week, the UN is planning to elect Iranian regime official Nadipour to its top human rights body. This year Iran has executed 1000 people.
🧵 Iran’s Execution Crisis: Over 1,000 Lives Taken in 2025? 1/ UN experts sound the alarm: Iran has carried out over 1,000 executions in just nine months of 2025 — averaging nine hangings per day. They call it a “staggering scale” and a grave violation of the right to life.

Trying to cross from one part of a cycle route to another with zero safe way to do it in Surrey. @SurreyCouncil @Heidi_Labour there’s just so much to do. The money offered isn’t enough to do one Council let alone the entire country for 4 years. @simonlightwood
