I'd be enthusiastic for a community-led takeover of the Forest of Bowland (Lancaster & Lancashire) - it should be the country's flagship rewilding / peat restoration project.

Agree 💯
An experienced cyclist was recently killed just round the corner from me. Hit whilst cycling in a painted cycle lane (which says it all about the value of them). Absolutely devastating.

Oh crikey hope you’re ok. That’s frightening.
It’s really frustrating isn’t it. It does feel aggressive out there, plus the ones that just don’t look. I’m too anxious to deal with it

I did persevere cycling to work for a while, it’s not really that far. But the afternoon traffic was/is just too aggressive and I gave it up. potholes and detritus in the cycle lane (where there is one) didn’t help
