By the end of February some 80% of people who joined a gym in January will have quit.
Maybe it's time to ask if those goals could be met with 'cycle to work'. Readers probably already do, but maybe a t-shirt will help start the conversation with your colleagues […]

We ride for safer streets, and we get them by having our officials put in the work to make them.
Ask them to show up on Tuesday.

Ask your MP to attend the debate on women's safety
We only have a few days to get lots of MPs asking for changes to make sure women can cycle safely and confidently all year round at a debate in Parliament on Tuesday. Will you send yours a quick email to make sure they know about it?

It's the first result if people are searching about lost bikes.

The city is a shared space and everyone should be playing nice.
But bikes are much more agile than cars so we can help fix things by stopping to report problems at https://www.fixmystreet.com/ in a way cars can't.
Report what it is and where it is and they'll get the message to the right people.

When people are asked why they don't cycle, top of the list is safety. Openstreetmap is essentially Wikipedia for maps and has a cycling overlay to show cycling infrastructure.
Start checking if your nearest bit is on the map, and eventually you can map disaster areas too!
