- More than 70 riders completed an Oxford night-time loop this week as part of Cycling UK’s My Ride, Our Ride campaign.
- Roughly 90 people joined a Norwich glow ride to highlight poorly lit streets, harassment and infrastructure that deter women from cycling.
- A Bristol event was scheduled to set off from Queen Square at 6pm on October 24, hosted by local groups and open to women, trans and non-binary participants.
- Cycling UK cites research showing 48% of women are put off cycling by aggressive driver behaviour and that personal safety restricts travel choices for many.
- The group calls for 10% of the national transport budget for cycling and walking, contrasting with an IPPR estimate that active travel currently receives about 2%.
