Help Build a World Where Every School Has a #BikeBus.
Support @BikeBusWorld this #GivingTuesday give.communityin.org/bikebus…
😊 We are so proud to be one of the organisations to have won a Share The Joy grant by @LondonCycling1
Thank you to all the people who supported us over the last 3 years. We’re looking forward to setting up bike buses and running regular family friendly bike rides.
💚 We're pleased to announce the recipients of the second round of Share the Joy funding, in association with @limebike and @LoudMobility.
🫶 Each group plays a role in enriching their local community through cycling, and we're delighted to support them!
Full story... 👇
Last year, 4,5% of all trips taken by people in London were done on a bike. That's awesome! But what's happening with the Wembley to Harlesden walk and cycle way, @willnorman? Here, in Brent, lots of women would like to cycle but are too scared to do so without protected lanes.

Family trips tend to be made in larger cars, taking up more roadspace & generating congestion; (25% of London AM peak traffic is the schoolrun)
E-bikes can reduce household car-use by at least 19% 👇
Policy & infrastructure needed for family E-bike use 🙏.
@RezinaChowdhury
“Dual-mode households (cars & ebikes) can reduce their car use by 19% compared to those solely reliant on cars, particularly affecting shorter trips. This supports households moving to one car and adopting a ‘car light’ lifestyle.” Via @momentummag

Celebrating #CleanAirDay in style on the #BikeBus . 18 children cycling independently. Do it for the environment, do it for your children, even do it for the suntan, but cherry on top, do it because it’s fun AND time saving! #SchoolRun

In cities that reduce speed limits to 30 km/h (20 mph) cycling rates surge, traffic injuries plummet and kids spend twice as much time playing outdoors.

Wow, the largest #KidicalMass in the UK (so far!) took place in Manchester this weekend.
Around 600 people joined to show that they just want to get from A to B on two or three wheels without feeling unsafe.
Well done to all involved, especially the @Kidicalmassmcr team 👏

On this International Women's Day, let's take a moment to appreciate the historical significance of bicycles in the fight for women's rights. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, bicycles provided women with newfound mobility, independence, and a platform to challenge societal norms.
Riding bicycles became a symbol of liberation, breaking barriers and empowering women to push boundaries in a male-dominated world. From the suffragettes to modern-day trailblazers, women have pedaled their way to progress, one revolution at a time.
As we celebrate the achievements of women past and present, let's remember the bicycle as a tool of empowerment and freedom. Happy International Women's Day to all the amazing women making a difference! 🚲💜✨ – at Enfield, London
Please consider signing this petition! Women in London still face far too many barriers when it comes to cycling. We need more protected cycle lanes as a matter of priority.
Last chance: please sign the #WomensFreedomRide petition being handed to the Mayor of London this Sunday. Just 236 signatures left to reach 5000!

Entirely had enough of the people driving on West Mids roads putting everyone else at risk in their tonnes of metal. We report on it every day - the latest person killed for having the temerity to cross the road. I think it is time we start calling it out much, much, better.
