We did it! It was our 3rd #KidicalMass and our most popular. About 40 adults and children rode from Roundwood park in #NW10 to Paddington Rec in #W10 (where the photo was taken). Got soaked on the way back! ☔️

In moments like these, we need to think back towards the truly vile crime that occured in last year's Amstel Gold Race.
An innocent British man was unjustly robbed by a Belgian individual in broad daylight.
We truly live in a terrible world. 😭 #AGR22

Different years, same tactics, same result 😮

All you need to do is read the comments to see why cycling in the UK is doomed. Daily I have to make the decision to put my life in the hands of people like this...just to do my job. Too many have to make that decision to ride their bike for fun/get around. Society is broken.🤫
Cyclists will be told to ride in the centre of the lane to make themselves more visible to motorists under far-reaching changes to the rules of the road intended to improve safety and “unleash our nation of cyclists”. Do you support or oppose this new rule? #Politics

Save the date!
On Saturday 18th December, put your Santa's hat, decorate your bike with lights and join us for a family friendly ride from Roundwood park in #NW10 till Tiverton Green in #NW6.
Oh, and bring some festive music and mini loud speakers.
Right, put your festive hats on, lit up your cycles with tinsels and pretty lights, and let's do a #Brent #KidicalMass winter special!

Bikes, E-bikes; and E-cargo bikes are the change we need.
Let's stop pissing around trying to make moving an 80kg human in a 1500kg motor efficient.
A simple, practical solution already exists.
The answer is bikes.
(and bikes + trains for longer journeys)
Obsessing over electric cars is slowing down the race to net zero, according to @UniofOxford's @_chris_brand_. Active travel can contribute to tackling the climate emergency must faster, and with wider benefits too.

Amazing effort from @alexdowsett! Such a hero, gutted he didn’t break the record but to even attempt it is an achievement!

This wonderful family carry their nine month old in their Urban Arrow - which also doubles as a hold-all for music kit for the musician dad on his way to gigs! Cargo bikes for the win!

Today will 100% be the most epic day of women’s cycling history. Every Roubaix edition is epic in it’s own way but today more so than normal. Tune in on on @gcntweet or @Eurosport_UK . Marty, Dani and me on the mic with pre race show featuring some special stuff.

Why Bikes and E-bikes Are the Fastest Ride to Zero Carbon. Almost 60% of UK trips driven are under 5 miles and 60% of trips in North America are under 6 miles. Making walking and cycling, the best choice for short journeys can deliver powerful change: treehugger.com/bikes-ebikes-…

"Stories from the women's peloton need to be told better. There’s work to do all round, but the meagre coverage of the Giro d'Italia Donne is likely the best place to start"
Opinion: Marianne Vos made history last week, let's shout about it
