Thanks to all those that came to our #DailyThread #workshop on Saturday. Some lovely unique and #reusable white and red #poppies were made to remember the war dead and promote peace. Missed out? Come along this Thursday, for another chance to make a #poppy. #communitytextiles

Anyone considering lighting a Bon fire over the next few days please take a moment to consider 🦔. Don’t build your Bon fire until shortly before you light it & when you do only light one corner first to give these guys a chance to get up & escape. Have a safe weekend all 👍

Really stressful cycle tonight, including @WMPolice officers' asking us to cycle single file on narrow stretch of Wake Green Road. Shocked and disappointed. Not the best way to encourage #cycling in Birmingham. #notpolicy #dangerous @CycleSouthBrum cyclinguk.org/article/whats-… – at West Midlands, England
What’s legal – and what’s not – on your bike?

What’s legal – and what’s not – on your bike?

Riding two abreast, in the middle of the lane, with or without lights, reflectors and hi-vis – what does the law say, what does the Highway Code advise, and what are just urban myths? Cycling UK’s...
