Great to be out showing the need for safer streets @KidicalMassRead riding a tandem in cross-party collab with @DaveJMcElroy @ReadingLibDems @reading_greens - first time either of us had done it but we didn't fall off!

@readingcycle there's a new hazard at green park business park where cars avoid the new speed humps by driving around them into the cycle lanes. Can this be resolved to make the existing cycle route safe for the bikes? No response from @GreenParkUK when I've raised the issue.

We see your #christmastree on a cargo bike and raise you a wreath on a regular bike. Also wreathometer is an interesting test of how bumpy the roads are. Just by Wilson Rd, Oxford Rd if you’re wondering @ReadingCouncil
Simon Smart retweeted
The rides aren’t only about infrastructure and safe routes, its created friendships and a community. And no I haven’t worked out how I’m getting the wreath home in one piece on the bike.

Santa and his elf made some little people very happy today. As well fixing bikes and giving some bike related presents out.

We know it’s chilly but we think we should be dry. So wrap up warm, and bring a waterproof just in case.
Santa and his elf say it’s nothing compared to the North Pole

We had such a great time today helping 5 families build and take home a bike. I’m in awe of some of the kids skills at putting bikes together. Much better than mine.

Bingo points if you notice how many times I say infrastructure.

Breaking News!
Well humanity, we did it, even if just for one day. Yesterday, Nov. 18, was the first time in recorded history that the global 2m surface temperature breached 2.0°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline.
The long-term average remains below 1.5°C. But not for long.

We still have a couple of places left on our build a bike workshop. So if you know anyone with an 8 or 9 year old that would like to learn how to build a bike and take it home with them then please share.

We think #kidicalmass are cool. But this is what our kids think.
Come down and ask them why they want to be able cycle and have fun? As adults we focus on clean air and the need for safe infrastructure, see why they like the rides.
