Glad to be in the Active Travel Cafe lineup with some fabulous speakers

Active Travel Cafe Though I do feel it's only a matter of time before someone will show up to one of my talks, or possibly buy the book, only to be disappointed not to learn about patching road defects. Hopefully they'll come for the engineering advice, and stay for the cycling misadventures.


In our first summer event tomorrow, we are thrilled to have Roger Harrabin talking about active travel, climate and the role of the media in shaping public opinion. 5pm online. New sign ups via activetravelcafe.org.uk

The Ranty Highwayman Call me sad but Active Travel Cafe is my highlight of the week on zoom for sharing great #activetravel ideas. Highly recommended to my friends at Camcycle Nick 🏴🏳️🌈🚴♂️ @cyclisethecity Mill Road for People Anna Williams @Joshpedals Ranty*s stuff is always enlightening. 👍

And as if that weren't enough, I'll be dashing from there to speak at Active Travel Cafe tomorrow evening... about my book, Potholes and Pavements, a Bumpy Ride on Britain's National Cycle Network!

We are back this Tuesday 17 September 5-6.15pm with a very exciting special guest! Chris Boardman CBE will be joining us to share news from Active Travel England. You can sign up for the zoom link via our website activetravelcafe.org.uk

Great to hear from Chris Boardman CBE - he shared that an Active Travel England study found schemes that met standards got ‘20-60% more uptake & halved deaths’ - whereas ‘white lines’ alone increased deaths by 10% ie ‘worse than doing nothing’ linkedin.com/posts/active-t…
