Good if road users were more aware of the Highway Code
Campaigners wanted real safety changes, such as reduced speed or calming, and they got paint.

I have resubmitted the proposal for the next stage.
In the meantime, I need your support.

As more towns say #20splenty, it's time the UK Gov ended the postcode lottery on 20mph limits and dumped the national 30mph limit. Its been rejected by most local authorities. Hear what these transportation professionals are saying about setting 20mph nationally or locally. vimeo.com/1160185854?f...

We're looking to name our gritter bike...only terrible puns need apply
Two people standing beside a blue cargo bike in a park on a sunny day.
🚲 When Elaine borrowed an e-cargo bike, she wasn’t planning to rethink everyday travel, but that’s exactly what happened. From school runs to shopping trips, it became a practical alternative to the car, building confidence and cutting car use.

Remember this one? “Humans aren’t very efficient movers—until you put us on a bicycle, when we become some of the most energy-efficient land travelers in the animal kingdom.” Proven science via Scientific American @sciam.bsky.social #CityMakingMath
"Oxford's High Street booming, bucking national trend"
And this in a city where we've removed city centre parking and put in a congestion charge. Almost as if it's people who shop, not cars.

If you want a longer route cycle on the excellent A27 shared path from Brighton to Polegate .... and then up the Cuckoo Trail
Photo of two people cycling on the Cuckoo Trail. Text reads: Route of the week: Cuckoo Trail. Walk Wheel Cycle Trust
This week the Cuckoo Trail in East Sussex takes the crown as our Route of the Week! 👑
The 10-mile largely traffic-free route takes you from Heathfield to Polegate, passing through a mixture of broadleaf woodland, open grassland and pastures.
A well deserved OBE for #Bespoke's
