Some gratitude for time spent in #greenspace this morning. Running, walking, listening to the birds. #getoutside
🛢️ U.S fossil fuel industry funded Trump.
🇻🇪 Trump overthrew the Venezuelan gov’t to exploit world’s largest oil reserves.
💣 Trump starts war, choking off Middle East oil and gas supply.
💰 Oil hits $100+ a barrel.
📈 U.S fuel companies make billions.
💸 Follow the money.

A reminder that humans in cars - notably omitted from this thanks to motonormativity - kill 1.2m people every year
These parked vehicles drivers’ interpret double yellow lines rather inconveniently for those of us wanting to use the dropped kerb.
Every time a politician or campaigner tells you that not everyone can cycle or that we need to bring everyone with us or that we need to balance modes and priorities ask yourself what have they done about all the cars...
(Answer: probably hardly anything useful)
Glad you were able to cope with the delicious sounding cheesecake.
Maybe there will be a Donauwelle further on?
Where is the Linzertorte?
Facing the climate and nature crisis head on is the first step in rising to the challenge. It's time to restore hope.

This one resonates with me the most. Especially after some of my politicians wring their hands everytime someone claims they weren't consulted.
The quickest way to getting nothing done is to allow goal post moving and consensus chasing.
A couple of questions:
1) Can anyone recommend any (critical, early) reviews of Pride in Place that I might not have found?
2) Is anyone familiar with examples of Pride in Place boards talking about or engaging with space for play? I have found a few but guess there are more.
Thank you!
Fitting it all in can be a challenge. Today’s trip-chain plus incidental cardio vascular exercise included a gym visit and a supermarket shop. Living in the city near decent infrastructure makes it easier to run errands and stay fit. #activetravel
Wonderful to pop along to see these amazing women recognised for their work empowering other women to cycle. From Cycle Sisters' Samra Said, to the amazing Emily Chappell, to campaigner Jean Dollimore, these names on Santander Cycles are a recognition of people transforming lives through cycling 💪
And a range of pedal cycles...
As I was made to wait 2.5 minutes to cross a road this morning, let's again do the maths simple.ghost.io/lets-do-the-...
In shock news, motorists have switched to public transport to avoid paying the Oxford Congestion Charge.
A spokesperson* said: "This is exactly what was meant to happen, and it did."
Nice day for a ride to Bath and back to Bristol. Pleased to see lots of people out cycling (hey @medialator.bsky.social ) walking and wheeling. Spotted plenty of robins and a few song thrushes too. #getoutside
Nice to see you on the path!
Conspiracy lovers and opportunistic politicians, with some wealthy folks working behind the scenes, have been trying REALLY hard to make us scared of the simple idea of having more things nearby, and more choices in how to get them.
Weird, right? #UrbanTruth
First #run of the year in shorts- yes, this habit, plus walking and cycling is going to mean hilarious tan lines. #getoutside #diversifyoutdoors
I feel like Goldbug might be in there somewhere.
I've had the chance to chat with Martin about his project, and it's one of those ones that's really poised to make a positive difference in forumulating mobility policy.
Keep an eye on this one.
The midday walk to the shops was hindered by #pavementparking again. No way a buggy or wheelchair able to use the pavement here. BTW that is a secondary school and nursery across the street.
The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
So, any other news yesterday?
Anything important?

"Cyclists are placed at the center of the narrative, while motorists are either omitted or reduced to their vehicles... Making these biases visible is essential for challenging motonormativity"
