Only 3% of children cycled to school in 2023. There is a lot of work to be done! So it's great to see @LilianGreenwood and @Chris_Boardman working together to help more people walk, wheel and cycle. #CycleToSchoolWeek

“If you get hit by a car travelling at 50kph, you’ve only got a 1.5-in-10 chance of surviving. If it’s going 30kph you’ve got a nine-in-10 chance” Reducing speed limits to 20mph protects cyclists and doesn’t delay traffic, new research finds road.cc/316421 #cycling

Cycle to School Week is a brilliant reminder of how important it is that we make sure they have safe and accessible routes to school. It's so important we give the next generation of commuters the opportunity to build happier, healthier and greener travel habits.

This week it was great to catch up with @Chris_Boardman, National Active Travel Commissioner, to talk about how we’ll work together to help more people walk, wheel and cycle. So thrilled to have active travel in my new brief - let’s get moving! 🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️

It's impressive how quickly Paris has transformed car-dominant roads, prioritising more efficient modes of transportation. One lane for drivers on the right side, made to wallow in their own stop-and-start inefficiency, two giant lanes for bikes.
