Come on @GlosCC, you don't want to be that guy... "let’s try to get away with unambitious schemes without proper infrastructure, which will never change much."

"We need politicians to stop pretending that we can have our cake and eat it and to accept the reality that spending on new roads ultimately makes things worse.” theguardian.com/environment/20…

Why isn't everybody angry about this? How can any politician back a massive road building programme and still expect to have any hope of getting elected?

@wevegotwheels Another one for you. 12kg of dog food plus panniers full of people food 🙂

Does anyone have any photos of their regular bike carrying shopping that they wouldn’t mind me sharing? Apparently I’m showing off with mine and it’s not possible for regular bike riders to carry shopping. 😏

@Glos_Police Same issues are still causing fear and danger in Gloucestershire. Signs are a nice start but more proactive action is necessary to make transport by bike a safe and attractive option for the majority. grampianonline.co.uk/news/drivers-t…

@wevegotwheels Would work best with full segregation I think as there's more clarity about priorities. cycling-embassy.org.uk/dictionary/flo…

Am I right in thinking if you were adding a shared path here (not anywhere near ideal I know) and a bus shelter that it’s better to have the bus shelter at the front of the path and bikes passing behind. That feels ‘right’ to me but wonder if I’m missing something.

Write to your MP to fix our failing road justice laws: a legal loophole lets 10k drivers have a valid licence despite accruing 12 penalty points, while the penalty for hit and run is the same if you scratch a car or leave someone for dead on the roadside: action.cyclinguk.org/page/87668/act…

@TransportActio2 Too many LAs encouraging walking and cycling while spending more millions on enabling/facilitating short trips by car

There's a lot of misinformation being put out by councillors (not all) overstating what they are doing to tackle climate change while glossing over, if not misleading, about the harm their pet road scheme will have
