This is how a care home should be 🙌 Small households where people feel free to be themselves without a sense of control or strict routines. Learn more about the butterfly approach in this short video… #care #dementia #home

Designed to connect. The bicycle spiral bridge or ‘fietsspiraal’ exists 4 years today. More than 4 million cyclists have since passed on the bridge! For many users, it is the daily quick & playful connection to the city. We couldn't miss it anymore! #leuven

Even under Sunak’s free market utopia (!) I can’t see any scenario in which curtailing of any part of HS2 works out well for road transport, whether that’s the private car or HGVs - let alone passengers along the West Coast Main Line. Reduced rail capacity = impossible roads.

The University of Manchester was one of the first places in the UK to provide an accessible parking bay for disabled cyclists. Would love to see more accessible cycle parking rolled out as part of the #BeeNetwork. Mayor of Greater Manchester Dame Sarah Storey Walk Ride GM

This is so shortsighted, more roads = more traffic, increased emissions, more nature destruction, more climate breakdown, more extreme weather, floods, fire, famine. Invest in public/active transport instead. Stop the Wensum Link 🍃💚🍃 #NoNewRoads #ClimateCrisis edp24.co.uk/news/23853027.…

In the Netherlands, where the Dutch invest in safe cycling infrastructure, the over-65s cycle around a quarter of their journeys, and the over-80s cycle around 10% of their journeys. Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and cycle lanes don't 'restrict freedom', they expand it.

What the world doesn’t need now: countries taking sides in a complex conflict where both sides have validity. What the world needs now: strong, emotionally intelligent, progressive, humanistic leadership which puts the planets health and its living populations 1st.

🔴BREAKING: Israel has given Al Awda Hospital just two hours to evacuate. Our staff are still treating patients. We unequivocally condemn this action, the continued indiscriminate bloodshed and attacks on health care in Gaza. We are trying to protect our staff and patients.

Happy Saturday from the Cowes to Newport bike path - also known as NCN 23 🚲 What a brilliant piece of cycling infrastructure. Counted over 50 bikes in the 40 mins we spent on this route - including handcycles, trikes and lots of kids 🤩 Build it and they will come! Derek Johnstone

"Saturday morning I woke up at 5am to find out there are a lot of bombs, people are dead. I'm like really in fear. Every time I have the thought of me dying in a bomb in Gaza. Everywhere I go, I run away, I just find bombs and dead people. And maybe one day I'll end up like them.

Sussex has seen a rising number of hate crimes against trans people. Disturbing evidence of the consequences of the government’s disgraceful weaponisation of this issue. As MP for Brighton Pavilion I would always defend and champion trans people.🏳️‍⚧️💚 theargus.co.uk/news/23854628.…

People ask, so I want to say something about flying & bike tours. In short, I won't do it. Partly because I love incorporating ferry & train travel into my trips, but mainly because I can't justify to myself taking an aeroplane during a climate emergency, merely to ride my bike.
