I spent a good chunk of time in Leicester last year for work, taking the train and Brompton. It’s by far the best big city apart from London to cycle in I’ve been to, but not perfect. Hats off to the council though for following through from COVID…

🚗➡️🚴‍♂️ Leave at least 1.5m when overtaking a cyclist, but that doesn’t always happen.

Our #TooCloseForComfort campaign shows how intimidating close passes can be, and why space matters.

Entirely unremarkable scene outside a Lincolnshire supermarket in 1979. The only thing of interest is the new computerised cash registers.

Look at that line of bikes!!! "We don't have a cycling culture", my arse.

I just say it as I see it. Thanks again and it really did.

Abandon separatism and take up love... final closing words from Rev canon Helen Cameron at the @churchesengland.bsky.social #CTEForum2025

Thank you so much to everyone for an amazing 3 days, and to all that put in such amazing hard work for us. You are amazing.

#walking #wheeling #design #pedestrians #streets | Mark Philpotts Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation (CIHT) publishing Designing for Walking for which I was the lead in…

Designing for Walking is 10 years old today.

Our @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social led the authoring, so how does he feel it's stood the test of a decade passing?

Closing address of the @churchesengland.bsky.social #CTEForum2025 given by Rev Canon Helen Cameron as she reflects on The Pursuit of Unity... and leaves is to reflect if being lighter as a church post covid has happened or do we have a heavier more fearful church...

A collage with Donald Trump and two images of war-torn Ukraine and Gaza. Headline text reads: ‘Trump vowed to end wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. His efforts have failed’.

Critics say the main flaw in Donald Trump’s approach is his failure to understand the complexities of the players involved and his overconfidence that he can rapidly change the dynamic on the ground. Here’s how his peace efforts have unravelled: www.ft.com/content/7180...

The last Art & Seeing session of #CTEForum2025

Samaritan woman story shows us Jesus' model of ecumenism... relational and willing to listen, journey and be changed... that engagement changed Jesus & the woman... vulnerable openness, love and no condemnation even despite the difference. Redemptive unconditional inclusion. Beautiful #CTEForum2025

The mission of christ akd the guidance of the Holy Spirit must be our call, a desire to put down our church ego and limited viewpoint and be vulnerable in our openness... #CTEForum2025

Loving the reference and sharing of Newbiggen theology in the Oikemene talk... moving to radical relationality and restoring recognising God in all across the divides and Difference else risk stagnating, mission is the heart of it we need to really do receptive (listening) ecumenism. #CTEForum2025

#CTEForum2025

Rt rev prof Jeremiah now talking on Oikumene and how we embody difference in the church..this is not empty workds or endless theology but grounded deeply in real world experience and reality...

Fab image on the first slide, but so good at showing the depths and importance of that council... and the first and original Nicene Creed, that focused on incarnation not the cross...salvation is in Christ, a christ born of a woman. Fab #CTEForum2025

A bit mindblown as its repeated the gathering here is about the size of that first ecumenical council at Nicea... our diversity would be different though... but I'm thinking the conversations, discussions and everything I've experienced is radically & yet not be so different at heart #CTEForum2025

Starmer says cost of sickness benefits 'devastating' The prime minister's remarks come after the government announced a major benefits overhaul on Tuesday.

I know I'm fighting a losing battle here, but it is only to the extent that they impose deadweight costs or adverse incentives that sickness benefits are a cost. Mostly - for the economy as a whole - they are a transfer. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Rev Dr Susan Durber of WCC takes us on a journey to Nicea and the first ecumenical council at #CTEForum2025

A challenge in the #RacialJustice and Reparations session at #CTEForum2025 to be a united church in action

Rev Dr Tessa Henry Robinson, 'We do not pursue reparations to induce guilt, but to honour truth. Not to divide, but to heal. Not out of fear, but faithfulness. Reparation is sacred work.'

THIS IS FINE
