Driving is a privilege, not a right. Our culture — and sentencing — needs radical change. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Users reported enhanced, positive biological and psychological results. What is this miracle? Simple. Cycling.

- Reposted by Jacqui B“The United States has dropped from 30th to 48th in that same year, the biggest drop of any nation BY FAR. Its reputation-peers are now Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan…” That was last year. I can only imagine where the US reputation is now. The fastest destruction of a nation’s reputation in history?

- Reposted by Jacqui BCongestion charges could be brought in for drivers entering #Edinburgh city centre. "But it was rejected 21 years ago" is hardly a sound argument for anything. Plus Miles Briggs MSP is 'really concerned', so it must be a good thing. news.stv.tv/east-central...

- Reposted by Jacqui BYou are encouraged to sign the petition at www.change.org/p/securing-a..., to help secure a beneficial future for Queensbury Tunnel. It should play a central role in a future active travel route.
- Reposted by Jacqui BIreland! You have been doing so well with your progressive, evidence-based legislation. Don't blow your record. Compulsory plastic hats for cycling is one of the worst public policies. It doesn't improve safety It does discourage cycling, significantly. www.cyclingfallacies.org/en/people-sh...

- Reposted by Jacqui BHow does this ensure GM meets NO2 requirements in the fastest way possible? Only a third of taxis so far approved to be upgraded will be zero-emission. These petrol/diesel taxis will be on the road for years to come. GM's leaders are failing to protect children’s lungs. @andyburnham.bsky.social
- Reposted by Jacqui B@jonathanhaidt.bsky.social showed in The Anxious Generation the awful impact too much screen time is having on kids health. Against that, it’s devastating that children are being put off cycling. Active travel boosts physical and mental health. We should make it normal, safe and joyful — not rare. 🚲
- Reposted by Jacqui BAir pollution is now formally recognised as a cancer risk in Europe. “Individuals are encouraged to limit their exposure by choosing public transport, walking or cycling…and keeping homes free of smoke by avoiding the burning of coal or wood”. #WorldCancerDay #AirPollution
- Reposted by Jacqui BPeople will continue to cycle in the rain if you provide the infrastructure to make it safe and comfortable for them to do so. The greenery alongside cuts the risk of flooding, as well as improving the look of the street.
- Reposted by Jacqui BWe've updated our key documents and links - a hub of over 50 links to help you get around the policies, strategies, funding and delivery for transport in Birmingham, the West Midlands region and in Parliament.
- Reposted by Jacqui BTraffic signals are motor traffic engineering devices for managing motor traffic. They have no value for human-powered and human scale transport. This is why some Dutch cities pull them out when they clear out the motor traffic!
- Reposted by Jacqui BThis morning outside Seven Sisters tube station in Tottenham. TfL not able to build a proper Cycleway here but is able to maintain and enable driver behaviour like this. It's little wonder nobody uses these cycle racks.
- Reposted by Jacqui BIt's incredible how Paris has just absolutely smashed down air pollution (and congestion) in a relatively short time, by taking simple measures like building a truck load of cycle lanes. Lessons to be learnt
- Reposted by Jacqui BExcellent read; big thanks to visionary Mike, Carla and Laura for all they have done and do for our children and our planet

- Reposted by Jacqui BIrene was one of two people killed on London's roads while cycling in January 2026. Not a good start to the year. This Friday, 6 Feb, our local group @lewishamcyclists.bsky.social will hold a short vigil to mark her passing on what is a horrible stretch of roads that need improvement, urgently...

What a great day it is when Earth is getting a break AND that's a poke in the eye of the very worst people.- More than 99% of the new electricity generation capacity built in America in 2026 will be renewables and storage. Why? America needs cheap electricity now, and they're the cheapest available and fastest-to-build source of power, not coal or gas or nuclear. www.semafor.com/article/02/0...
- Reposted by Jacqui BWe are dedicating our February "Circle the City" ride to the memory of Councillor Waseem Zaffar, champion of bold transport policy and cleaner air for everyone. Riders will be welcome to say a few words about Councillor Zaffar when we gather at Hippodrome Square at 6 PM on Friday, 6th February.
- Reposted by Jacqui BWhen these cycleways were being built in the 2010s, a black-cab driver told me Transport for London was run by fools because Londoners don't cycle
- Reposted by Jacqui BIts good to see more of the busy roads controlled by TfL being set at 20mph in London. These are where the greatest motor/people interactions take place and have the biggest potential to lower speeds and casualties for drivers and people outside of cars. haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/lowering-spe...
- Reposted by Jacqui BDidn't they change the highway code to make it very much the driver's job to give way in all circumstances? Make the waymos follow this to the letter - there's no need for conversation
- Reposted by Jacqui B“Our zebra crossings are far from machine-readable; they are designed for micro-conversations between drivers and pedestrians.” And this is just one reason why self driving cars should not be given the time of day. TfL what’s the plan? If it’s taking out zebra crossings - that’s the wrong answer.
- Reposted by Jacqui B"Public investment" vs "Wasteful Subsidy." The only problem with this clever Singer cartoon is that some people might actually not get that it’s sarcastically illustrating the incorrect perception problem, NOT telling the truth. Just in case it actually needs to be said, the truth is the opposite.

- Reposted by Jacqui BGood news from Australia: power generation from coal down 4.6% and from gas down 27% in Oct-Dec, with more than half of power generated from carbon-free sources. Power prices were fell by nearly 50%, as they do when you have a lot of zero marginal cost generation.
- Reposted by Jacqui BWe detected incredibly high levels of cancer causing PFOA near this plant's discharge pipe in the 'protected' River Wyre. Our findings prompted a multi-agency investigation which has recommended people not to eat locally grown fruit & veg - now, they've found elevated PFAS in eggs near the site.
- Reposted by Jacqui BFor the sake of balance, maybe we should remain open to the possibility that replacing grass with blades of plastic coated in chemicals linked to cancer, thyroid, liver + kidney disease, + inviting our children to play on it is a good idea?
