Cycle Stortford

@cyclestortford.bsky.social Can’t wait to see this on Cycle Route North!

UN distances itself from International Women’s Day website winning corporate partnerships Sainsbury’s, Barclays and University College London have all drawn on themes created by IWD site run by London business with no link to UN

Keep uplifting women but please know the UN's #IWD2026 theme is #RightsJusticeAction

The GiveToGain theme is made-up by a UK PR firm created to profit from selling theme-based goods via a flashy .com website. No charitable donations on it's accounts in 10yrs

Thank you

"Bicycling has done more to emancipate women than anything else." — Susan B. Anthony, 1896.

Yet today, women only make up 40% of riders

This International Women’s Day, let’s push for ambitious cycling policies that make our towns safer places for women to cycle
#IWD #givetogain (2026 theme)

really?

Early bird catches the worm (and the sunrise)

Early this morning approaching Cambridge on the genome path (needing a repaint) and arriving at the biomedical campus @camcycle.bsky.social

@cyclestortford.bsky.social And this one isn’t bad either - Prince’s Drive in Toxteth. Complete with really impressive cast metal information signs recalling the area’s social and political heritage.

@cyclestortford.bsky.social Now this is what I call a shared use path - NCR56 on the Wirral from Birkenhead to New Brighton!

Why more people cycling is good news for drivers. See our latest article in the Bishop's Stortford Flyer magazine

Not the roads are too bad?

By popular request our leisurely Bishop's Stortford 12 mile circular

Our letter to the Bishop's Stortford Indie re our proposed cycle (and walking) route North

@cyclestortford.bsky.social An interesting if technical discussion starting to consider best design for more pedestrian-friendly road junctions. Lots of scope in Stortford!

People complain about traffic in Stortford from all the new development - this cycle route could make a real difference.

And it would be great for kids to have confidence in cycling independently again.

Please support this in the council consultation

Developers of Old River Lane site in Bishop’s Stortford please note! @cyclestortford.bsky.social

This is the sort of thing we need for Causeway Lane into ORL development in Stortford, not just paint on a road. Come on Cityheart and Herts CC let’s get this right. @cyclestortford.bsky.social

Bishop's Stortford's back on its bike

Saturday morning bike ride view just 2 miles from down town Bishop’s Stortford

The UK is a lowly 23rd measured by bicycles per capita. Where would Bishop’s Stortford feature?

Well done Anna. We look forward to working with you

A reminder of our article in the recent #bishopsstortford @flyeronline calling for joined-up planning for #cycling (and walking) including a feature in the editorial

This weekend we visited Utrecht to see the biggest cycle park in the world. The Dutch know how to do it

Super impressive underground, under Amsterdam station and underwater 7000 cycle park

Busy in Utrecht

My cycling field trip takes me to Utrecht to the world’s largest bike parking facility with around 12,500 spaces, part of ~33,000 spots around the station. Wow you can get lost in here!
