Can we have an urgent new law that anyone who kills using a car gets a lifetime ban and 14 years min prison time too? – at Sheffield, England

We think having no ‘boxes’ is more dangerous, but what would the ppl on bikes who use it know? Where’s the data or discussion to back this up? In the meantime anyone got some spare paint we could borrow, before one of us gets hurt or killed by @ReadingCouncil behaviour? 🎨🚧🚴‍♀️
Hello Jane, we have received the following response from the Team: 'I can confirm that following the recent resurfacing works, it was intentional not to reinstate the cycle reservoirs (boxes) and the cycle lane on the north side of Lower Henley Road due to safety concerns.'

During resurfacing @ReadingCouncil removed a junction box which has made it dangerous to use a cycle route on Henley Rd. They told no one, and when asked - it’s for HGVs. @JanGavin91 @matthewjyeo as councillors for this ward were you made aware?

This has to be dealt with, our other pavement is at points unwalkable. The driver hasn’t parked near a drop curve. If I was in a wheelchair should I just wait until the driver deigns to move their car. Wilson Road #westreading @ReadingCouncil

Can you believe I got pulled over by police on Heathlands road, Wokingham on my cargo bike today, to tell me it’s a dangerous road to cycle on with a child? It’s not even a ‘b-road’, I use my bike for transport everyday! Pre -emptive victim blaming? @ThamesVP @WatchWokingham

Horseshoe Bridge on National Cycle Route #5 this morning. Appaling cycling infrastructure made worse in snowy conditions.

Not sure why they would close my friend the Horseshoe bridge as you can cut through the back of tesco and avoid that path they are messing with.....that's the idea of diversions! @ReadingCouncil you need to do better
Replying to @ReadingCouncil
As expected, no diversion signs so you have to backtrack. Bridge closed with no warning signs. Why are cyclists seen as second class citizens? @Sustrans

Can you confirm that my walking and cycling friends will be able to access me to get across the river? @ReadingCouncil the alternative bridges are not so friendly to people walking and cycling @readingcycle
The Thames Path will be closed in sections between Horseshoe Bridge and Caversham Bridge from tomorrow for several weeks for vital improvements to the path. Stages will be from east to west as shown, with focus this week on Horseshoe Bridge to King’s Meadow. Diversions in place.

Please keep a look out for this bike.
If anyone sees our bike can you let me know or the police know. It was just stolen from outside @Rdng_bsct_fctry
Wow...... frightening

Whatever the energy source, this is a lot of resources to move one person (and an occasional fridge).

Seems like most of them drive in Reading

Couldn’t agree more @john_seto is shocking the disregard @ReadingCouncil have towards active travel
Reading is probably the most unfriendly cycling town in the UK, can't see it ever improving. Instead I'm having to teach my 10yo to ride on busy roads, only way to be proficient is building up road riding time. Here we are negotiating the many roundabouts in #rdguk @readingcycle

Don't get me wrong, busses are not the answer to active travel
