Great riding conditions yesterday in Gloucestershire. Not been out as much as I'd like this summer so when I do get out I enjoy every minute.

Michelle e-mtb riding in the forest of Dean

It's been 4 years since I've been off road riding. Lost most of the little skill I gained, but had a blast any way. Good to be back at the Forest of Dean where I used to film, it's such a good place, something for all skill levels πŸ‘Œ

Such a diagnosis should result in an immediate ban. People need to prepare for the day they may not be able to drive. This could mean looking at places to live with walkable amenities, fighting for better infrastructure for active travel and public transport etc.

Why is this up to families? What if there is no family, don't live in the area or aren't in contact? There should be a direct link GP use to trigger a required test if there's doubt. Certain diagnosis should come with an immediate ban. A licence is a privilege not a right.

The NYC council voting for this downgrade was just such an own goal.

World leaders: stand up to Trump, starting *now* Donald Trump is a bully. And like any bully…we need to stand up to him. If we don’t, our international world order is in danger. He’s already threatened to annex Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Can

Trump just orchestrated one of the most shameful moments in US history.

We need *all leaders* outside the US to stand up to Trump.

For that we need to show they have our backing. Add your name and share this link widely, it has never been more critical to have our voices heard:

People never think they won't be able to drive (carbrain and all). Rather we should all be preparing our plan B for when that day arrives. There also need to be more checks for being fit to drive. Too many elderly (and young!) who are not fit to be behind the wheel.

So glad to see this. I'd love to see it happen. I've been planning to delete my twitter on the 20th since the election results came in. Can't wait.

Interesting, we built this road for cars, but hardly anybody uses it. Clearly, this is a waste of taxpayer money.

Funny how the same logic gets thrown at bike lanes, ignoring how their lack of safety and poor design often keep people from using them.

The book Adrift (by @lisabrideau ) is set in the near future. In it the Americans are climate refugees trying to get into Canada due to the lack of preparation. Perhaps this reality is closer than the Americans would like to believe. πŸ€”

I see your Dad was from Wisconsin... My sister lived there after university for about 5 years! She couldn't hack the winters so had to get out.
