There goes the “but what about ambulances ?”anti-cycling argument.

"The use of the cycle lane for emergency vehicles has been assessed and is proving beneficial in reaching people when they need us the most." 👀😎

Rising fuel costs? Obesity epidemic? Declining town centres? If only there was some sort of solution.

Brilliant post. Lots of family cycling info is based on young kids and this provides a great perspective for older kids.

Family cycling doesn’t end when kids become teenagers — it just changes 🚲 We’re excited to share a thoughtful guest article by Kate Ball on everyday cycling with teens: building independence, using e-bikes & folding bikes, and adapting as family life evolves. 🔗 www.cyclesprog.co.uk/inspiration/...

Questions to the First Minister today around pavement parking elicited a 'lets see what happens in England and go from there' response. Another chance to remind ourselves that banning pavement parking was a 2021 manifesto commitment with a further commitment in-government to banning by 2023.

I’m sure @southwalespolice.bsky.social issued clear advice to drivers about looking out for children cycling. Right?

This is what happens when you have all carrott and no stick.

Astonishing how the cost of public charging now compares to petrol prices owing to fuel duty freeze / subsidy and other poor choices from govt 😬 There are ways to turn this around 🙏 Reccomendations in @transenvuk.bsky.social report below www.transportenvironment.org/te-united-ki...

BBC Shropshire manages to prove that cycling beats driving but still ends up with a car brained ‘race across town’. www.instagram.com/reel/DNfaAzZ...

Latest from my occasional series of fly-parked bikes in Wrexham. This is what happens when there’s no convenient parking.

(Not about cycling but…) Apart from the cringy bits about Welsh-only constituency names, this discussion on the election is one of the best bits of reporting so far. Have UK Labour really written off Wales? Are the MPs and MSs really still in the same party? www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

If you read one thing about Wales today, read @willhaycardiff.bsky.social’s newsletter on the 20mph changes. willhaywardwales.substack.com/p/turns-out-...

Turns out the 20mph limit was great idea!

Two years on from the controversial policy, it's becoming increasingly clear that the doubters were wrong

Fory yw @eisteddfod.cymru yn Wrecsam - lleoliad digon agos i’r beicio, llawr o raciau beic. Dim esgusodion - wela di ar y maes, ar dy beic!

This (and free school meals) will be the real triumphs of the current Welsh Government. The change seems to have stuck. (Despite media stirring up noise, despite some councils using it as a chance to take a pop at WG, and despite the police publicly saying they won’t bother to enforce.)

20's Plenty for Us@20splenty.bsky.social · last yr.

WelshGov releases July 25 report on the first 18 months of the "award winning" default 20mph limit for urban and village roads. Speeds down, 26% fewer casualties and little change in journey times. Lives saved, liveability increased bit.ly/40rfUZl

Was it @ianwalker.bsky.social who was looking for motonormativity examples in policies? I mean what other situation would mean your local council allocating additional public space for you to store your private property because you’d run of space at home?

From a pure active travel perspective the SFS has totally missed the opportunity to engage farmers in providing 'behind the hedge' routes which would give huge environmental benefits by encouraging modal shift for just a small loss of land Instead, just an optional around improving (walking) access

More detail on the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 sustainable farming scheme has been released. This is the Welsh governments biggest investment in nature conservation and food production. 12 universal actions required to receive £70 a hectare.

Gwych clywed @prifweinidog.gov.wales yn annog bobl i seiclo i'r @eisteddfod.cymru ymru yn Wrexham mis nesaf, yn hytrach na gyrru! Great to hear @prifweinidog.gov.wales encouraging people to cycle to the @eisteddfod.cymru in Wrexham next month, rather than drive! @cyclinguk.bsky.social

Irregular reminder that this was a manifesto and programme for government commitment for Wales. And wasn’t delivered in 4+ years. No reason as to why?

Cargo Bike Ben@cargobikeben.bsky.social · last yr.

How the fuck is this controversial?

Public and active transport are mutually beneficial. You won't get better buses by throwing cyclists under them.

This will be amazing but I'm still of the view that TfW should be running a (procured, externally operated) scheme which can be extended across Wales and includes integration at stations. This would really help micromobility extend in to smaller towns etc

I’ve got a simple solution… (From the report): “76% of pupils transported less than three miles to mainstream secondary schools using school transport and 52% of primary school children transported less than two miles do so because their routes to school are deemed too hazardous to walk.”

Storing one type of property on the road - no problem. Storing other types of property on the road? “An offence”

Officers are warning residents that using cones or similar items to reserve parking spaces “constitutes as an offence.”

No one likes wheelbenders. I would suggest that if you design, commission, fund, or install anything but a Sheffield stand you are a bad person and should feel bad.
