New research provides conclusive proof that 20mph in London is saving lives 🚶🚲🚌🚗 14 yrs of analysis at 150+ sites - reviewed by experts - shows: ❤️40% fewer deaths (vs 7% drop on roads where no changes were made) ❤️75% fewer children killed & 50% fewer kids hurt.

Reading's major roads resurfacing programme restarts again tomorrow with 15 sections of road set to be improved over the next six weeks. This is part of a wider £8m Council investment that also includes hundreds of residential roads. List of roads here: rdguk.info/Major_road_res…

It’s time to tax these ridiculous vehicles off our city streets. 'Supersize SUVs much more likely to cause fatal injury to cyclists and pedestrians' standard.co.uk/news/transport…

Our streets are not safe for children because, as a society, we have collectively accepted that driving oversized SUVs, with bonnets so high that a small child becomes invisible, is more important than a childs life

🚲 #Swansea, we’re here! We’re thrilled to have been selected to deliver secure cycle parking across Swansea — supporting the city’s ambition to make active travel a natural part of daily life. Diolch, Swansea — we can’t wait to get started! @swanseacouncil

From The Guardian: No wonder Jeremy Vine is hanging up his helmet cam – the rage we cyclists face is off the scale theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Great to attend the APPG for cycling and walking event with Steve Bate of British Cycling and Maseem Akhtar of Saheli Hub, which encourages women to become cycling leaders in their community.

I raised residents’ concerns about the irresponsible use of e-bikes, and the dangers of unregulated modifications people make to them, during a debate on product safety.

readingchronicle.co.uk/news/25043289.… This can't come soon enough, e-bikes don't belong in pedestrian zones, esp. the ones that are really illegal motorbikes.

“I’m impartial on everything – except my own safety” Jeremy Vine on his cycling “radicalisation”, Twitter trolls, the “gaslighting of cyclists”, and why bad streets and bad drivers cause road danger road.cc/313279 #cycling

Time to spring back on your bike! But if your two wheels need a check-up, we can help. Dr Bike will be in Broad Street #rdguk carrying out free maintenance checks and basic repairs next Thursday, 11am-2pm. No appointment necessary. rdguk.info/NAHK4 @AvantiCycling

Last summer's improvements to the station subway - including making it open to cyclists and increasing ceiling height - have been complemented even more by some fab artwork at the entrance that lights up at night. Quite an impressive approach to the station now!

Former Top Gear host calls "anti-cycling rage" in the Telegraph "nonsense" and thinks "the best thing you could do with the driving test is make a part of it on a bicycle" road.cc/313197

It is undeniable that more men cycle than women, but building safe infrastructure (safety being a key barrier to cycling for women), ensures more people will have the confidence to cycle. This morning here, 20 cyclists in this clip, 11 of whom are women.

We’re super pleased that our very own Stumbles Cycles has got a new premise. He’s just moved in this weekend but lot’s of progress already. Why not pop in for an affordable bike service. 271-273 London Road :) Stumblescycles.co.uk #cycle #reading #independentshop

@CyclingCardiff @UniRdg_News Safer...

@readingcycle @UniRdg_News It's not really a safe space, buses and cars drive through reading university.

Having safe spaces for children to learn new skills is essential. Thanks to Reading University for providing a safe space 🙏 @UniRdg_News #curbcarculture #safecycling
