Proposals in the new planning application for the Roaring Meg retail park would force people cycling to dismount and walk when they leave the Monkswood Way cycleway (a popular entrance/exit). We're encouraging our network to object to this application to show that cycling access must be improved!

"Not a Caribbean sea."

(the crochet yarn colour is Caribbean Sea, but the background is... Harris, Outer Hebrides)

#UKTravel #FlightFree2025
Crochet held up to the camera, and the colour matches the sea behind, which is turquoise with a long sandy beach and mountains beyond

We ♥️Beryl in Stevenage!
stevcyclecampaigns.bsky.social Cycling UK Stevenage Campaigns @stevcyclecampaigns.bsky.social · Jun 9
We've delivered our Get Well Soon card for the #Beryl bikes in Stevenage today. The bikes have been away for a maintenance update and are missed by the local community. We collected signatures and stories at Stevenage Day from people sharing their love for Beryl and their hope for a speedy return!
A "Get Well Soon Beryl" card is sticking out of a yellow envelope in front of the Stevenage Borough Council building A "Get Well Soon Beryl We are missing you!" Card is standing next to a flower pot on a marble underground A handwritten message in the card reading "Dear Beryl We hope you are back to full strength soon! Best wishes from your friends in Stevenage xx" A handwritten message in the card reading: "you're so convenient to get home, any place, anywhere. I miss you! Lots of love and WD-40 ❤️ - Teun"

We love community art, but we have serious concerns about the location of a new sculpture at a key shared use path connecting the bus interchange with #Stevenage town centre. Our campaigners have marked the spot for the proposed position of a new sculpture that is 2.1m high and 1.2m wide. 1/3

🧵 In "celebration" of the opening of the Silvertown Tunnel today, we recently took it upon ourselves to attempt the cross the river in East London by bike in (almost) every way possible.

First up, Tower Bridge...

Best dig out my heels! 😂
But seriously, how else do you hook a pedal up if not clipped in? 🤔
