Most kids are taught that streets are just for cars. We have to give them a better message, and this book does exactly that.
"If This Street Were Mine" is about a kid who imagines a better, safer world. That's the world we're trying to build.
Available in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.

After last week’s storm, it was great to be back in the saddle today. Our Level 2 ride took us over to Ditton Park (home of RADAR) & Eton (home of the Chariots of Fire avenue). Back next week for a longer, faster & hillier Level 3.

We didn’t ride today because of the high winds, but we did fix loads of bikes at @theswanclewer.bsky.social. Plus we flew the local cycling flag by attending events at Dedworth Medical & Braywick Nature Centres.
