New guidance out from the Government today on Critical Safety Issues ie a street layout or condition that is associated with an increased risk of collisions for people walking, wheeling or cycling.
We know these only too well. Will there be any funding to fix?

This scheme looks to be properly high quality, although I'm still dubious that 'uncontrolled crossings' have any place in a modern scheme. If theres a desire line should be ped priority

But where do you put a 4-wheeled bike?
4wielfiets are four-wheeled bikes offer extra stability, opening up cycling to a broader range of users. As well as the extra stability they offer, they also fold up, making storage easy!

So needed here in Exeter.
Five years on from the Government’s consultation on pavement parking in England and there is still no action.
Meanwhile, Susanne and her son Joseph, a wheelchair user, found freedom in Scotland, where there pavement parking is restricted. Read about their story here 👇 http://bit.ly/4hicmQe

Can we have safe cycling & walking paths for this in Exeter?
Side-by-side tandems are a game changer for people who, for whatever reason, can no longer cycle independently.
Thanks to the bike and a buddy (often a volunteer) these people can get moving again.
Besides a lot of cycling happiness, this also benefits physical and mental health!

So important!
Finally, a progressive PSPO. Bedford has ditched its blanket ban on cycling in pedestrianised areas & now only prohibits dangerous/aggressive riding.
This simple change means Disabled cyclists are no longer excluded from the town centre. Let's hope other councils take note.

Controversial town centre bike ban overturned after thousands of cyclists “aggressively” fined – as new order aims to crack down on “dangerous” cycling, not responsible riders
The ban was branded “discriminatory” by local campaigners, who claimed it targeted “slow and co-operative cyclists”, ignored those “too fast to stop”, and made “nobody safer at all”
