Wyle Cop, #Shrewsbury.
Locally known as "the Cop".
This beautiful historic street full of independent shops is the main excuse people give for not cycling anywhere in our town at all - "how are we going to cycle up the Cop?"

Forget what you think you know, #E-bikes are the future.

New cycle lanes are not for people who currently cycle.
They are for people who drive because it’s too dangerous to cycle.

“Nobody cycles in Shrewsbury in the rain/cold/November….”
Apparently.

Even with empty loading bays to use, and buses and cars driving up on pavements too, a reminder it’s not bicycles that cause the emergency services to be held up on our roads. On bike you hear the siren sooner, and take action quicker.
Imagine the FB outrage if this was caused by bikes? #Shrewsbury

Slippery wet leaves hiding dog 💩 on a cambered surface with unrelenting ups and downs for driveways. 🚶🧑‍🦽‍➡️🚲
We still use them …… 🫱 for your 🚗 convenience #Cyclelanes #Footpaths
Carriageway does look appealing though.

What would you ask an MP, if you could?

I’m recording another conversation with Julia Buckley MP, the Labour MP for Shrewsbury, soon. It’ll be a special episode of Hello You the Shropshire podcast

What do you think I should ask Julia?

My favourite FB comment on the latest saga of the station Gyratory (not a gyratory anymore) and floating bus stop.
I wonder what people think when they read it 🤔
I know what my takeaway is.

There have been recent examples of reporting that confuses safe and legal e-bikes with illegally modified bikes - with images of electric motorbikes even being captioned misleadingly as "e-bikes".

Our recent blog explains the distinctions and the importance of getting the language on e-bikes right.
