My office today - last #BikeFest of 2025 - great turnout despite the occasional showers - tiny tots pedalling with their grandparents, a boy surprised his mum by cycling on his own, didn’t know how to when he arrived. @rideleicester.bsky.social @britishcycling.org.uk @joeearley.bsky.social

Not ideal my son now going to primary school in Oadby. It's a trek from Coalville. Today I parked 'my' side of Leicester and cycled the rest of the way on the excellent @rideleicester.bsky.social infra. You just need to sort out the A6 now! (You can plug your consultation in the replies)

A wide range of cycles and tricycles for people with different needs. The Leicester Wheels for All fleet, used by people with additional needs and others with none who enjoyed trying trikes, recumbents, hand cycles.

It’s not just about the bike ! Railways, industry & historical fuzziness too - A great summary article on the North-East role in a planet changing story …

Happy 200th birthday to passenger rail travel!

Although, as my piece shows, actual history is messier than that: www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

Born in the age of coal, the rail industry helped ignite the climate crisis. Today, rail — celebrating its 200-year anniversary — is reinventing itself as the greenest mode of mass transport.

I collect my daughter’s prescriptions by bike. Fortunately she is returning to cycling thanks to the e-bike loan trial that @rideleicester.bsky.social runs. Halfway through her month, she’s already identified the bike she wants to buy. She’s building confidence to ride to appointments too!
