Enable cycling: build the infrastructure Encourage cycling: paint a bicycle on the highway This child is enabled to cycle by 1970s planners she will never know. We need to be doing the same today. #oxford #cycling #safestreeetsnow

The Olympics is kicking off. As a nation we fetishise exercise when we need to make it part of the everyday. This is partly why LTNs and cycle lanes are such important public health measures.

For the full immersive experience try cycling Bath - Frome for this event! A route that goes from the sublime (@twotunnelsbath) to the ridiculous (Midford-Wellow bomb craters and the missing link at Frome)

Drivers are out of control A million UK drivers don't bother about insurance costs & drive uninsured. RTCs cost the economy >£40bn a year to clear up & wreak untold misery on the victims. Yet fuel duty has been frozen for 13 years. It's time to stop pandering to drivers.

These images are 2 seconds apart from a rear facing vehicle camera. One aspect of cams is seeing just how close people come to colliding. In this case reckless overtaking by the motorcyclist nearly resulting in a side on collision with a turning vehicle. #VisionZero

Have been mulling over today what remains of Bath's 'Dirty 30' mph network. Have also been considering which educational establishments are on/adjacent to these relatively dangerous speeds. Are we ok with exposing children and young people to this level of risk? #20splenty

Would love to see this in #Bath. In some places the wait for the green person is 1 minute +!
In 2021, London introduced "Green Person Authority" at 18 locations—walk signals that stayed green until a car was detected—reducing pedestrian journey time with no impact on car traffic.

So many people use camera to protect themselves now- horse riders, pedestrians, people on cycles, people driving... If you drive carelessly or dangerously the law will catch up with you, and a lot sooner than in times gone by.
1/2 🚨 NEAR MISS 🚨 This reckless driver almost caused a tragedy on a quiet country road. Watch the shocking footage captured by a horse rider's helmet cam. If you need a helmet cam, then check out the link in tweet #2

We need to build cycle routes as good as er... car parks! Note- there is no image stabilising here- it is just a video on my phone. #jealous

It says so much about what we value when this is how councils protect a machine verses how cyclists are usually 'protected' with painted lines #paintisnotprotection #safestreetsnow
