😮 A sobering statistic for Road Safety Week... In the UK, SUVs are three times more likely to kill a child under the age of 10 and heavier cars are more likely to be involved in fatal collisions.

Taking part in the Big Walk and Wheel next week?

Our recent Children's Walking and Cycling Index report revealed that while most children walk or wheel at least once a week, less than half (48%) of children cycle do so this often. This is despite over half of children (51%) wanting to cycle more.

Repurposing wind turbine blades. How cool is this!
Triple sustainability. Wind power + cycling + recycling. A wind turbine blade re-purposed as a bike shed.

So very sad to hear about the death of @timcyclesthecoast.bsky.social He was open and honest about his struggles with mental health and was an inspiration to so many of us. His travel adventures were a joy to follow and he took the most beautiful photographs.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Good trade.
