@GeorginaWilcox @APPGCW I totally agree. I would also observe that there are streets and paths I ride on, during the day, in my own town, where I wouldn’t go at night because I’d be worried about being mugged or knifed, because people (males) have been. There are journeys I don’t make, as a result.

@GeorginaWilcox @APPGCW That’s what the BBC article was about. Unfortunately it made a presumption that it was a women’s issue. There are manifold issues around women and girls using active travel and participating in sport, we’re painfully aware of that. This though, is an ‘everyone’ issue.

@GeorginaWilcox @APPGCW The article is specifically about perceptions of physical safety in the public realm. I rode this path in Northampton for the first time on Sunday. Would I do so in the dark? Nobody would hear me shout if I was attacked or came to grief on all the broken glass. Not a chance.

@GeorginaWilcox @APPGCW Whether people feel safe in the public realm and whether some active travel routes may be worse, is not. I am a 6’8 man and I change my routes at night for my own safety, even close to my home. Please don’t presume that opinions in that article aren’t felt by people generally.

A rare adults night out last week. @ShappiKhorsandi’s deft response to a bum-clenchingly rude geriatric heckler calling people with ADHD ‘remedial’ was the most beautiful piece of stagecraft; he forgot that neurodivergent people are great in an emergency.🤣

@CHAIRRDRF And ‘hit by a motorist’ is practically barred from our lexicon, along with people trying to use the immediate pain of a particular death as justification that we should not talk about the issues, when something appalling like this happens again. Could’ve been one of our children.

@MikeyCycling @MillwallDolbs5 It cracks me up. The logic here is that the presence (and endangerment!) of a child grants an offender immunity from being caught in the act.

@walksafeldn @CyclingLawLDN It’s superb parenting. The only reason to be concerned is that people like you, are driving. I understand why you’re upset. That kid isn’t going to grow up to be a taxi customer.

@JohnJohnStewart @JohnCooke72 That tweet is by implication a manifesto for unconstrained road building until everyone somehow has their own and doesn’t go past anyone else’s premises. ‘Other people’s roads’ is of itself a curious turn of phrase, when what you’re referring to is commonly-funded public realm.

@JohnJohnStewart @JohnCooke72 In our town, a 1970s LTN serves as the quietest way to walk or cycle into town. Nobody would support removal. The adjacent main road would be quiet too, if it was cut off from other arterial routes in the town centre, forcing drivers to use various bypasses built since the 1930s.
