Easily my favourite photo of the day. A BLM protestor carries a far-right ‘counter-protestor’ to safety as fighting breaks out in Waterloo, London. Tell me again how ‘both sides are the same’. They’re not, they never have been + they never will be. This image will become iconic.

We cannot lurch from an acute health crisis back to a chronic one - we need to lock in our cleaner air and do all we can to switch short trips to walking and cycling.
Is air pollution making the coronavirus pandemic even more deadly? theguardian.com/world/2020/m…

Wow! Thanks to everyone who has supported our #keepthewheelsturning initiative - we're over halfway to our target of £25k now after launching less than 48hrs ago. If you can please donate to ensure we can help as many key workers as possible. ow.ly/Efnl50zhnkj

"There is no situation, there is no age, there is no condition where exercise is not a good thing. So anything that can be done to encourage people and allow people to take exercise is clearly a good thing."

This makes me very grateful for the third party liability insurance and legal advice that comes with @WeAreCyclingUK membership.
Terrifying story this 1 about the cyclist settling damages claim over cyclist v ped collision theguardian.com/law/2020/feb… imagine how differently this might have played out for him had he been driving a car

I don't want a lot for Christmas. There's just one thing I need...
I just want our streets to be safe. And the world to be a greener place.
If you want that toooo, ask your candidates to invest in cycling. It's long overduuue 🎶 #AllIWantForChristmas

Escape 2 Afan Duathlon Extreme. Proper technical MTB, tricky trail runs. 1st vintage vet (not sure I want 2 celebrate that tittle!) 5th lady, despite slashing my tyre irreparably and pushing the last 20 mins of the bike course.
Huge thanks to the marshals.

Reflecting the undeniable health and well being benefits, I've asked my local candidates to stand up for cycling and walking ahead of the upcoming #GE2019 . Will you join me in asking your candidates to do the same? 🚲via @WeAreCyclingUK action.cyclinguk.org/page/50……

Can you help? A reporter is putting together a piece on the A38 cycleway, and she is looking for families who use it.
I did not do justice to how wonderful the A38 cycleway is, and how transformative a network of them could be. Do you have a child/children who could do better?

We did this today, hopefully brings a bit of perspective to those determined not to have any.
If you agree, share it far and wide 👍
Cyclists aren’t the ‘scourge of the streets’. They are mothers, fathers, grandparents and children all doing their bit to make Britain a healthier, greener and more liveable place.

Hopefully the motion proposed for the addition of AHP leadership positions. Be nice to have a future where all Trusts are required to have an AHP Director as part of the Exec Director Structure #StrongerTogether
#GetTheUKCycling @WeAreCyclingUK @ZEBRAONABIKE Natalie Wilson, what an amazing presentation- I was so enthralled I forgot to take photos to tweet #awesome 💪💪💪
The waistcoat was the finishing touch😊
A fantastic afternoon break at #BigBikeCelebration: tea, scones and cream, and a beautiful roadster to ride.
Thanks @WeAreCyclingUK!
