If we don’t invest more in making places safe, convenient and appealing to walk, wheel and cycle, people will keep driving, damaging health and increasing pressure on our NHS. Support our legal challenge against the cut in funding crowdjustice.com/case/stop-t…

When people choose to cycle or walk short distances, it helps clear up road space for those who do need to drive. More people on bikes means fewer traffic jams - surely this is something we all want? This Lent, let's try to #DriveLessCycleMore.

The weekend is here! If you're out driving, please remember to... ⏳ Be patient around cyclists, giving plenty of space and time ↔️ Leave at least 1.5 metres when overtaking ✋ Use the hand furthest from the door to open it and spot cyclists

Creating the space for people to walk and cycle safely to and from their local shops for local journeys makes sense at any time but especially when living costs are higher. Transport needn't be a burden and can make us happier and healthier #BikeIsBest

Did you know that cycling as little as 20 miles a week can reduce your risk of coronary heart disease by half? Commuting by bike is a simple way to fit exercise into your daily routine and has great benefits for our physical health: cyclinguk.org/commuting #CycleFriendlyEmployer

Running last minute errands to get ready for Christmas? Consider taking your bike to skip the traffic and likely park right outside your destination. You'll get some fresh air and give your day a lift too #BikeIsBest

Did you know that 68% of trips in the UK are under five miles? We know it isn't possible for everyone to give up driving altogether - but by cycling when we can, we cut the cost of running a car and fight the climate crisis. #DriveLessCycleMore
