Delighted to announce: the NPT for Scotland was Highly Commended at the Scottish Transport Awards! 🎉 Funded by Transport Scotland and delivered in collaboration with Sustrans, A/B Street and CycleStreets. Congrats to the team! #TransportPlanning #ActiveTravel

It seems the hot weather has made drivers angrier than usual. Lots of beeping and revving of engines today.
Luckily, I was cool in the breeze on my bike, with sunscreen on and plenty of water.
I think I made the right choice 😁

In a sunny mature woodland, three wavey concrete blocks hold unusually shaped steel cycle racks - emerging at an angle from the concrete in a soft, rounding form. Decaying text applique reads ‘Law Cycles’ with a local phone number gradually fading away with time.

Bike or e-bike (if you can) to protect your brain!

“The way to counter Reform is to stop talking about #cycling and #walking, and talk about the outcomes of #cycling and #walking,” the #ActiveTravel #England chief says

Chris Boardman has called for public “anger and frustration” about #roadsafety to be “pointed in the right direction”, and away from its current “easy” focus on #cycling #infrastructure and #ebikes, perpetuated he says by “sloppy” journalism and Reform #UK’s divisive rhetoric https://road.cc/content/news/chris-boardman-road-safety-anger-e-bikes-and-reform-314383

Under a cloudy sky with patches of brilliant blue showing through, Salisbury crags loom over the concrete public space outside the Scottish Parliament, its footing yellowed with gorse bushes in bloom. The stone setts give way to a bank of wildly different shapes bent from metal, creating a small field of unique cycle racks that look more like a public art installation than a functional object. With nothing locked to them, perhaps that’s also not how they’re perceived.

Less than 1/2 of my car speedometer is useful.

Newcastle NSW Council pedals into $6.1m worth of cycleway projects

These active transport initiatives will enhance cycling infrastructure across the city including future Richmond Vale Rail Trail connections in Minmi and Fletcher. #cycling #railtrail #newy #activetravel

@ScottishGreens This has been a genuinely great step forward, but if only •all• of Scotland’s local authorities had actually •properly• got on board to develop plans and then actually implement projects to improve #ActiveTravel infrastructure and make it easier for everyone to get around… Sadly many councils are much more talk than action, and many are not even that… 😢

I hear today is #WorldBicycleDay so here is my lil orange wonder, next to a wild verge near the gym.
(And yes, it's got quite a lot of stuff hanging off it 😂 )
#BikeTooter #ActiveTravel

An orange bike with dropped handlebars, leaning against a lamppost in front of a grass verge which has been left to go wild, with grasses and wildflowers.
The bike has lights, locks, cameras and sleigh bells.

Love the fact that #Transport for #London (#TFL) has a whole website about the joys of #walking in the capital. I often walk 30-60 min routes there, eg Marylebone or Paddington station to Kings Cross, or Kings Cross to Tate Modern. https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/walking/ #activeTravel #sustainability

The weather is partly sunny; under a mix of cloud and blue skies, a black, bestickered, front-loading cargo bike is parked at the top of a hill with a sprawling view of Edinburgh behind it. To the right of frame, the prominent figure of the crags and Arthur’s Seat loom up in the middle of the otherwise urbanised view; in the background, the sea and hills beyond.

@debseed Hi Deb 👋 welcome 🤗
I'm an #ActiveTravel enthusiast in Swansea, mostly walking here although my partner has a folding e-bike (that I'm not allowed to borrow 😄).

I did find that there's more work involved in finding people to follow & interact with here, but once that snowballed, it's a much nicer experience. Following hashtags worked for me, it might for you too. And don't be afraid to mute and block people/hashtags/words liberally if you stumble across anything you don't want to see!
