What does North Tyneside Council's #CoastalStripCycleway (that's us, that is) do for quality of life? Well, as an example, it's cut the number of drivers breaking the 30mph speed limit on #BeverleyTerrace in #Cullercoats by about ¾. That means a quieter, safer place for all to enjoy.

Did you know that two-thirds of all car journeys in Britain are less than 5 miles long? That's less than 25 minutes by bike 🚗➡️🚲 Switching from driving to cycling for small trips like these is a great way to #ChooseCycling 👍 🔗 bit.ly/ChooseCycling
