Top work from @lambeth_council too showing what car free high streets can and should look like. Ethan managed a full 9 miles (14km) powered by 🍊🍌 🧇 🧁 before blending his own smoothie and trying out some assisted bikes courtesy of the awesome @wheelsforwellbeing , then jumping on train home.

So important that councils understand and account for the fact that some disabled people use bikes as mobility aids.

An inclusive streetscape must provide safe and convenient conditions for walking, wheeling and cycling.

And PSPOs should not be used to exclude people cycling.

Wheels for Wellbeing @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk · Aug 21

Finally, a progressive PSPO. Bedford has ditched its blanket ban on cycling in pedestrianised areas & now only prohibits dangerous/aggressive riding.

This simple change means Disabled cyclists are no longer excluded from the town centre. Let's hope other councils take note.

road.cc/content/news...

Controversial town centre bike ban overturned after thousands of cyclists “aggressively” fined – as new order aims to crack down on “dangerous” cycling, not responsible riders

The ban was branded “discriminatory” by local campaigners, who claimed it targeted “slow and co-operative cyclists”, ignored those “too fast to stop”, and made “nobody safer at all”

Kidical Mass is a protest. A very joyful one, but still a protest.

This makes it very tricky to get public liability insurance.

Please donate to our crowdfunder to support Kidical Mass rides in over 50 UK towns and most importantly get new groups started 🚲🥳📢

“Helsinki has not recorded a single traffic fatality in the past 12 months, city and police officials confirmed this week.”

City engineer credits lower speed limits and smart design.

I agree. #Helsinki #VisionZero

Helsinki goes a full year without a traffic death

A city traffic engineer credits the success to lower speed limits and smarter design.

On the way from Brighton to Newhaven a few days ago we rode on what must be a historic bus stop bypass.
It was far preferable than our children riding on a high-speed, busy and dangerous road.
Please don't try to ban these important pieces of infrastructure
