  1. CYCLISTS: get the police to give a crap about you being knocked off your bike by first winning the Tour de France & Olympic Gold. @TwopTwips
  2. I work in the private sector; my pay & conditions are good. I'm supporting the #n30 strikes because I can see past the end of my own nose.
  3. You could address obesity by banning sugar, but that won’t fix air pollution, road safety & child freedom like active travel would.

    @JacquiOatley @johnstevenson_x Incidentally, Dutch parents apparently say “we don’t ask our kids to wear helmets because we don’t want them to be fat like the British”.
  5. “Wear hi-vis” they said. “You’ll be fine”. @mikedearsley/856960355679055873
  6. People make mistakes on the road. Making a mistake shouldn't be a death sentence. Make space for cycling.
  7. MOTORISTS: INCREASE your council tax bill by demanding that councils stop making "profits" on parking.
  8. Another cyclist has died in a collision with an HGV. Here’s your reminder to Stop Scoring Points Over Dead Cyclists. m.huffpost.com/uk/entry/4298701?utm_hp_ref=tw
  9. It’s ok. I didn’t want to use the shared path by Lidl anyway… @YPLAC

  10. Look beyond yesterday's tragedy; don't just shrug it off. There's a battle for the soul of our streets. The UK has a death-by-HGV problem.
  11. “The truth about a [country’s] aspirations isn’t found in its vision. It’s found in its budget” — @BrentToderian @transportgovuk/1136323528079368203

    Traffic isn't some force of nature. You get what you plan for. Yes, @ben4bath, people love their cars. Drug addicts also love drugs.
  13. If you think driving while using a mobile phone and cycling on the pavement have any harm equivalence, you're an idiot.
  14. "You can't have ramp on Victoria Bridge because Heritage!" Yet next to it, the most un-heritage new build @WeLoveBath

  15. The road is now clear. The noisy beasts return, to Wreak aural havoc. #SnowHaiku
  16. A reminder, if you'd like it to be #NeverAgain not just #LestWeForget Of course, war is a nice little earner for the military-industrial complex and their stooges in government, so of course they want to keep you car addicted.

  17. Being forced to push a baby buggy in the road 15 years ago because of cars parked on the pavement (sidewalk) basically changed my life. @BrentToderian/1307586229752328192

    @Napmug1 @thomasthetaxi Electric assist is amazing for this. We used to regularly cycle up to our house on top of a hill with three kids in our e-cargo trike. Now they’re older they ride their own bikes.

    @JackieAshley13 @tomhfh There was traffic in LDN before there were cycle lanes. The biggest impediment to your driving is... other drivers.
  22. …in reply to @JackieAshley13
    @JackieAshley13 @highroastcoffee @tomhfh You probably can't take your mum to the hospital on a bike, *but* if more people who *could* ride a bike to the hospital did so, there would be less traffic on the way and more parking spaces when you got there. Cycling even benefits those who don't do it.
  23. …in reply to @stshank
    @stshank @Qualcomm Ok, more politely: Stop trying to fix the public realm with micro-techno-behavioural fixes. We know what works for cyclists’ safety, and this isn’t it, not least because *awareness* of a cyclist’s presence doesn’t mean squat if drivers don’t care, or actively aim to harm.
