There seems to be a virtuous circle. Segregated bike lanes increase safety, which leads to more riders, which in turn makes cycling even safer. And if you know someone who cycles, it becomes much more normal for you to try it as well.

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

Women deserve the freedom to move - yet many still feel unsafe cycling

No one should have to choose between a busy road or a dark path. When cycling’s safer for women, it’s safer for everyone 🚲

Do you skip stretching once the kettle’s on? ☕

Just 10 minutes can make a real difference – faster recovery, fewer injuries & fresher legs for your next ride. Our beginner’s guide has a simple routine you can do while the kettle boils.

Not a single river in England is in good overall health.

National Highways, a government-owned company, needs to prioritise its funding to clean up the toxic brew polluting our rivers!

The A21 Pembury to Tonbridge dualling scheme caused the destruction of nine hectares of ancient woodland, of which just over three hectares were designated as a local wildlife site.
