Cycle to @millsqleeds and leave your bike in safe hands on parade day! @LeedsCyclists are providing Free Secure Pop-Up Bike Parking and will watch over your bike all day. Bring your own lock. Parking will be at junction of Millennium Sq + Portland Cres, beside the Civic Hall.

🚲 We’re currently working on improving active travel on the A660, enhancing the environment for walking and cycling between @UniversityLeeds and the Arndale Centre. This phase focuses on the section between Richmond Road and Victoria Road and will be complete early 2025.

This is why it’s wrong to freeze fuel duty while hiking bus fares by 50%.

“It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me, it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them." — Mayor of Pontevedra, Spain

We are restarting our socials! A couple of our committee will be at the Pack Horse (Off Briggate, LS1 6AT) from 4pm on Friday the 18th October. Please drop in and say hi!

'30,000 people are killed or seriously injured on our roads every year, less than 3 involving a cyclist' Former Olympic cycling champion Chris Boardman spoke to #BBCBreakfast about Government plans to make causing death or serious injury by dangerous or careless cycling an offence bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

Broken bike? The Big Bike Fix team are at the Let's Move event in #Beeston this Sat (11 May), at @BeestonFestival (22 June), + looking to restart regular sessions soon. Get in touch / involved at: facebook.com/share/j68VGLC1…. @LSTENLeeds + @LATCHLeeds also on the case. Happy riding.

For those naysayers that don’t understand why we need segregated cycle lanes we managed to cycle 7 miles in and across Leeds with our 9 and 12 year olds. A journey we would never have done without @CityConnect1 @ConnectingLeeds

This is an exciting scheme to transform this long neglected, but hugely important, part of the city centre. @ConnectingLeeds want to know what the issues are 👇

Leeds cycling campaign posters on Skelton Grange road bridge highlighting appalling access to so many. Leeds city council now have an agreed solution - a new level access pedestrian and cycle bridge. Open this green space to all! Help by writing to WY mayor, local councillors, MP

New parking rules, basically look around and think before you park in Edinburgh. Leeds could do this even if they just limited it to the inner city. @ConnectingLeeds @petercarlill @Leeds_DPO edinburgh.gov.uk/parking/new-pa…

@ConnectingLeeds are at the Leeds Museum today until 4pm for the first round of consultation on the Woodhouse Lane Gateway scheme. We want to know what you want to see on this important urban corridor that links the city centre to several of the city's universities.

We’re on the lookout for stories of children or families who have been able to start cycling thanks to new safe cycling infrastructure in their area.✨ If that’s you, DM us or drop us a line at publicity@cyclinguk.org.

@Navarthian @LeedsTours Yes, perhaps the question was rhetorical😀

@LeedsTours @LeedsCyclists They'd have to actually change the law first

Is Leeds going to copy? From today, Edinburgh enforcing new law making it illegal to: 🚫 park on pavements 🚫 double park 🚫 park at pedestrian crossing points 🚫 park on road verges between roads & pavements. Fine payments to go into improving safety. edinburgh.gov.uk/parking/new-pa…

A big day...long in the waiting!
