@laura_laker I found cycling with a rucksack made me way too hot. Got a couple of Ortlieb panniers which seem pretty indestructible. I've got one rucksack converter kit which takes about 20 seconds to convert into a very big rucksack!

The National Cycle Network spans 12,619 miles throughout the UK, with approximately 50% of people living within 1 mile of it, and over a third living within a 10-minute walk.
And it's not just for cycling.

Had a fantastic time at the @Sustrans and @NTCouncilTeam opening of Phase 1 of the Seafront Cycleway in #Tynemouth earlier. Great infrastructure allowing more families to enjoy the coast by foot, cycle and wheel. @SustransNorth

Great fun to see the #NorthTynesideSolarTrail. Collected 7 of the 10 planets. Would be amazing as a permanent fixture alongside the @SunriseCycleway. Amazing work by @davidmajarich, @alisonstenning, @VeerleNoben and countless others.

A two-week adventure comes to an end. It's been a blast in the #netherlands🇳🇱 and #belgium🇧🇪 at #fietsenwandelbeurs2024, but as all good things must come to an end, I'm ready for home!

A busy first day done at @fenwbeurs at @jaarbeurs alongside @NGinitiative and @VisitNland. Lots of interest in walking and cycling holidays in the North East 👣🚲

Wasn't this money meant for the North? Of course, they must have got muddled between the North and the North Circular! #LevellingUp

In what reality is this, as it sure isn't the one I inhabit. This is a member of the Cabinet spewing full on conspiracy theories. Utterly utterly baffling.

Transport secretary Mark Harper goes full tin foil hat: "What is sinister, and what we shouldn't tolerate, is the idea that local councils can decide how often you go to the shops, and that they can ration who uses the roads and when, and that they police it all with CCTV."

Climate crisis? What climate crisis? Good god, where is the opposition - literally and politically.

I'm proud to work for a charity like @Sustrans who stand up to knee-jerk policy like this. We work to make healthier places for everyone to live, not grabbing for the next headline. Great to have leaders like @_XavierBrice_ making the case for #sustainabletransport

New: head of six active travel and walking charities have signed a joint letter saying the government's 'paln for the motorist' will simply end up denying people choices if they would rather not, or cannot, drive.

Completely dumfounded why someone could possibly cut down the beautiful tree at #SycamoreGap and cause so much damage. This means something to the #culture of the North East, it's like a rural Angel of the North and now it's gone. Pictures in happier times @NlandNP
