🥳 I won! 🥳 This time last week I was honoured to win the Green category in BBC Derby's Make A Difference awards 🎉 Thank you to everyone who has been involved in Spoke Out, and who has kindly supported me. This is for all of you 💚

🔥The prime minister just threw climate policy on a bonfire. The public overwhelmingly backs climate action. Business is screaming for a smooth transition to a green economy. And the science is clear that we can’t keep putting this off. It’s time for real climate leadership.

99% of the world’s population breathes polluted air, causing a staggering 6.7 million premature deaths each year. Friday's #WorldCarFreeDay is an opportunity to take #ClimateAction and show how cities can look & feel without cars. More from UN Environment Programme : unep.org/explore-topics…

Looks like it's up to us to save our streets! 🦸🦸‍♀️ Our politicians pledged to protect our planet but this week we've seen - 😭Tory net zero u-turns 😭Derby Labour Party not opposing the A38 expansion Don your cape and join us to show them we want greener ways to get around 💚📢🚲

Always a joy to see tiny people loving life at #KidicalMass rides 🚲✊😍

Critical Mass Derby is this Saturday 30th Sept. Get on your cycles and join us in reclaiming the streets. Critical Mass is your opportunity to make the bicycle riders the majority and make the car driver the minority. Meet at 14:45 outside the Council House (across from Quad)

Every child should have safe, accessible routes that give them a choice about whether to cycle to school - and support so they can access suitable cycles, too. #MyCycleMyMobilityAid #CycleToSchoolWeek i Bikeability

📢 3⃣ DAYS TO GO 📢 We're ready for our free, fun and family friendly #KidicalMass cycle ride to save our streets, are you? 🦸‍♀️🚲🦸 ✅ Route ✅ (Optional) superhero costume ✅ Good weather 📅 Sunday 🕚 11am 📍 Start at Derby Council House

Our PM should be "standing up" for children, not motorists! Children's health is in a dire state. They are killed and injured every day on the roads. Unsafe streets = inactive, unhappy, isolated kids. This should be the focus. #SafeStreetsNow bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

"My little boy went to school and never came home again" #SafeStreetsNow

"With great power comes great responsibility" Over 7⃣0⃣ superheroes from across Derby came together for our 7⃣th #KidicalMass ride to call on our politicians to make our streets safer 🦸‍♀️📢🦸 Although it feels like they're not listening, we'll keep on riding ✊🚲

Hopefully this means safer routes for cycling to and from the university sites too?

tell me you're a transport planner who never rode a bike without telling me...

🍂🦔 Time to hibernate 🐻🍂 Inspired by this tiny #KidicalMass napper, after a busy few months of elections, a new job and #StoptheA38 campaigning, I'm taking a break to focus on resting 😴 As always, thank you for your support and see you soon 💙 Lucy 🚲

Happy new year and happy birthday to Spoke Out! 🥳 From #CatsNotCars to countless maintenance workshops, the past 3⃣ years have been an epic ride 🚲

Whenever you cycle in Amsterdam, you are riding on the shoulders of giants… Tens of thousands of citizens who, decades ago, took to the streets to fight back against the rampant rise of the car in their community. Without this defiant act, their city would look like any other.

4⃣ years ago today, 25 year old Josephine Gilbert was killed while cycling. Next year the uninsured and unlicensed lorry driver responsible for her death will be out of jail. As always, our thoughts are with her brave father Bobby, and her family. youtube.com/watch?v=8UqKpR…
