he will be missed - a warrior for access to the outdoors, hugely instrumental in CROW2000 - early in my @RamblersGB career we did some work together in Suffolk including interviews with local media - I learnt more in a couple of hours than I would attending days of media training

Visionary!! I usually get called many other things on this platform!
And by the way, cargo bikes are definitely a key part of the future (but personally I doubt they will be powered by hydrogen)
In today’s newsletter we interview the visionary behind London's cycling future, plus we cover @Segway4business’s Year on Wheels & why hydrogen-powered cargo bikes could be the future of food delivery.

A huge thank you to all event teams this weekend for your incredible efforts in the face of challenging weather conditions 🧡
Whether your parkrun went ahead or had to be cancelled, your efforts to check courses, make tough calls, and keep everyone safe are really appreciated.

This week's new post looked at Wigan: the borough was one of the few to build council housing before 1914: 'a slum abolished, an eyesore removed, the health of the inhabitants remarkably improved, their environment made clean, refined, and elevating' ...

A cul-de-sac #footpath along the @ThamesPathNT near Shillingford for #FingerpostFriday - memory of an old ferry.

Right, here’s a big announcement 📯I shall be the castaway on Desert Island Discs this Sunday. I’m a little bit terrified of what I said on there. Ironically I might have to go and live on a desert island for a few years until everyone’s forgotten it.
