Another video from tonight’s Eastbourne Glow Ride.
The rain didn’t stop us riding in support of safer streets and a future where women and everyone can ride with confidence and freedom.

The rain didn’t dampen our spirits in #Eastbourne at tonight’s Glow Ride.
Along with other groups across the country we lit up the night to call for safer streets, better cycling infrastructure, and a future where women and everyone can ride with freedom and confidence.

Thank you to everyone, including Rebecca from @cyclinguk.bsky.social, who braved the rain, and took the time to ride with us tonight on the Eastbourne Glow Ride.
We lit up the night with our #RightToGlow, calling for safer cycling for everyone. Because when women can ride freely, we all can.

Of all the Sheffield stands installed by @eastsussexcc.bsky.social on Terminus Road #Eastbourne ( Along the bus lane) only 5 now remain. You can still see where the old fixings were. Now people chain to other surfaces where they can

Request to increase the @eastsussexcc.bsky.social ATE ( Active Travel Score) to 2. However in terms of delivery they think they are only a 1. For cycling ( not walking) most cyclists would score them as 0. (Nobody in UK currently that low)

Good piece of shared path on A271, near Boship roundabout, by @eastsussexcc.bsky.social and @wealdendc.bsky.social BUT it is only a 50m long feeder to a new estate they are building. Nothing before or after and heavy traffic along the whole road

The @eastsussexcc.bsky.social approach to stop '🐀 running' in Willingdon alongside the developments at Hindsland ( who paid the S106) & Mornings Mill .
'20's plenty' would have been good but instead a patchwork of build outs that force 🚴 to negotiate space as they move over each time

There is extra cycle parking at Airbourne but it is not being used. Possibly because (as permanently at the Harbour) it does not have footfall passing by. However only 250m away the existing parking is packed🔐🔓🚲 ( Saturday lunchtime)

Email from @eastsussexcc.bsky.social after Bespoke questioned choice of surface on Terminus Rd (for next phase), where they had done an accessibility audit to ensure suitable in Phase 1.
Can anyone see the sign on the road ?🔭 and why 🚗🚗 keep stopping on it ( 3 points & £100 )

This length of Edward Rd (overgrown for years !!) is very reminiscent of the many years Bespoke spent trying to convince @eastsussexcc.bsky.social that they should restore their shared path to 3m on Lottbridge Drove( LTN 1/20). Here as in the past have to cut it back to show them.

Cycling parking installed at Sovereign Harbour is tucked away where little footfall and poor light- esp in winter. (similar elsewhere on this site) So cyclists uses the railings and get told off

Join us Sat 26th July from 14:00 as we litter pick and clear the section of NNCN 21 on Edward Road near Shinewater Park (casino.speech.riches). This route is badly affected by litter and overhanging brambles.
Equipment will be available but bring your own if you have

If @eastsussexcc.bsky.social are not going to provide any useful cycle routes in #Eastbourne centre then what about more of these (temporarily up on King Edwards Parade, for an event, but they are permanent in Hastings)

Heathfield Tunnel was on #sustrans NCN21 ( Cuckoo Trail). Open just for today ( 1st time in 10 years). It always was dark and wet but a great feature of the route
