From a US perspective but this is bang on from David Zipper. We need mass adoption of #ebikes to enable more people to switch from car travel to #activetravel and voucher schemes are critical to this uptake bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Getting busy at #DurhamMinersGala

Anyone in the North East will recognise this. For such a vast region we're woefully under funded in #transportinfra in comparison to others. This is what #LevellingUp currently looks like.

So it turned up! 😅 The first ever Bee Network service arrives at Farnworth Bus Station at 4.30am. Greater Manchester is back in control of its buses. 👍🏻

Completely dumfounded why someone could possibly cut down the beautiful tree at #SycamoreGap and cause so much damage. This means something to the #culture of the North East, it's like a rural Angel of the North and now it's gone. Pictures in happier times N'land National Park

I'm proud to work for a charity like Sustrans who stand up to knee-jerk policy like this. We work to make healthier places for everyone to live, not grabbing for the next headline. Great to have leaders like Xavier Brice making the case for #sustainabletransport

Climate crisis? What climate crisis? Good god, where is the opposition - literally and politically.

If you want to come and work for Sustrans as part of our #SchoolStreets team, we may have the job for you. Opportunity is in partnership with Gateshead Council working 22.5hr/wk to enable the roll out of School Streets as part of a great team #recruitment

In what reality is this, as it sure isn't the one I inhabit. This is a member of the Cabinet spewing full on conspiracy theories. Utterly utterly baffling.

Wasn't this money meant for the North? Of course, they must have got muddled between the North and the North Circular! #LevellingUp

A busy first day done at Fiets en Wandelbeurs at Jaarbeurs alongside NewcastleGateshead Initiative and Visit Northumberland. Lots of interest in walking and cycling holidays in the North East 👣🚲

A two-week adventure comes to an end. It's been a blast in the #netherlands🇳🇱 and #belgium🇧🇪 at #fietsenwandelbeurs2024, but as all good things must come to an end, I'm ready for home!

Great fun to see the #NorthTynesideSolarTrail. Collected 7 of the 10 planets. Would be amazing as a permanent fixture alongside the Sunrise Cycleway 🌅🚲😊. Amazing work by David Majarich, @alisonstenning, @VeerleNoben and countless others.

#StreetPlay always made better by sunshine ☀️, the first visit of the year from the ice cream van 🍦and Nerf battles! PlayMeetStreet North Tyneside Playing Out North Tyneside Council

Great to join Street Life in North Tyneside tonight and explore the new cycling infrastructure between Tynemouth and Whitley Bay! 🔝🚲🌊 We were joined by more than 20 people, the cutest dog and excellent summer tunes 🎶 keep an eye out on their socials for more rides throughout summer!

Democratic duty done #kidsatpollingstations

A spot of Sunday reading in between my Ministerial briefs. Really eye-opening and instructive

Had a fantastic time at the Sustrans and North Tyneside Council opening of Phase 1 of the Seafront Cycleway in #Tynemouth earlier. Great infrastructure allowing more families to enjoy the coast by foot, cycle and wheel. Sustrans North

The National Cycle Network spans 12,619 miles throughout the UK, with approximately 50% of people living within 1 mile of it, and over a third living within a 10-minute walk. And it's not just for cycling.
