  1. Apparently I missed Sustrans rebranding. Also apparently they found it hard to describe what they stood for (is "Sustainable Transport" difficult to understand?).

    A friend of mine told me that, when he did some work for them, they didn't have anywhere to park bikes nearby, but that was decades ago.

    You might be tickled by a charity in the UK, formerly known as "Sustrans" who have, among other things, made it their mission to turn disused rail lines into bicycle-paths & footpaths.

  7. Landslide washes away section of Carmarthenshire cycle path

    Path collapse near Tumble

    The Walk Wheel Cycle Trust Cymru (formerly Sustrans) confirmed that a landslide has taken out part of the route linking Tumble and Pontyberem. The charity’s estates team has been on site to close the affected section and warn users not to approach the area.

    A spokesperson said:

    “Please do not approach the site as it is extremely dangerous and unstable. Our team are working to close the path and ensure route users are aware on the ground. We are working with local partners to secure the site and it will remain closed. A diversion will be put in place as soon as possible.”

    Council urges public to stay away

    Carmarthenshire County Council confirmed the landslide and said the area has been fenced off. A spokesperson added:

    “There has been a significant landslide which has taken out a section of the Sustrans Cycle Route linking Tumble and Pontyberem. We urge the public to keep away from the area for safety reasons. The path is owned and maintained by Sustrans, now known as the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust.”

    Climate change warning

    Local Member of the Senedd Lee Waters described the collapse as a stark reminder of the impact of extreme weather. Sharing an image of the damaged path, he said:

    “The impact of flooding is being felt right across the local area today. This picture of the cycle path washed away near Tumble is a pretty stark illustration of how climate change is impacting us here and now – the experts are agreed that heavy rainfall and more intense storms are a direct consequence of man‑made climate change.”

    He also thanked the emergency services, Carmarthenshire Council and local volunteers for their efforts in supporting communities affected by flooding over the past 24 hours.

    Wider flooding impact

    The landslide comes as Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service declared a major incident following more than 450 flooding‑related calls in 12 hours, with rescues carried out in Whitland, Ferryside, Kidwelly, Lampeter and St Clears. Swansea has also been hit, with Cwmbwrla roundabout once again submerged.

  9. Somebody on another platform is #cycletouring Britain ticking off millennium mileposts. He's heading to #orkney now and trying to track down if the three indicated on thie map ever existed. Does anyone have any info or old pictures?

  10. Shout-out to Sustrans, the organisation that the national cycle network. We used their maps, tied together a dozen different of their routes and thus cycled around the UK managing to avoid most A- and B-roads. Lots of fun traffic free trails and quiet(ish) little lanes. A few crazy mountain bike tracks not entirely appropriate for our heavily loaded touring bikes. Great fun. Good job, Sustrans!

  11. Completely missed that it's the annual #Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel Week! As usual, there are only two schools taking part in the borough, both in #Nuneaton - well done to both Whitestone Infants and Chetwynd Junior schools. It'd be great to see more getting involved

  13. In a bid to help more people make that first pedal stroke, we wanted to commission a guide on how to find your local cycling routes from your doorstep for our last Cycling Electric print edition.

    Who better to take that on than Richard Peace whose guides to the national cycling network have been the reference point for so many of us for decades already?

  14. Did my good deed for the week today when I did a little voluntary work for #Sustrans (UK cycling/active travel charity & advocates). They were looking for people to audit paths that linked with the national cycle network & I finally did my section today.

    Walked the route cos I thought I could be more thorough that way. Was supposed to be 5 miles but ended up walking 9 miles. My feet are sad...

    Took some photos along the way...

  15. @BicycleBen while we're on this, the choice of roads for the #sustrans National Cycle Network also seems pretty anti-cyclist. I'm thinking particularly of the NCN7 west from Dumfries, which chooses hillier, more twisty routes with poor sightlines over flatter, straighter routes with better visibility.

    As routes for effective #ActiveTravel, they're more or less useless.

  16. Ich habe das heute im lokalen Cyclehub vorgestellt. Wenn es umgesetzt werden soll, sind jedoch die lokalen Behörden zuständig und es bleibt nicht viel mehr, als dass möglichst viele die Lokalpolitiker auf den Vorschlag ansprechen.
    Ich soll den Plan auch nochmal per Email an den Cyclehub senden, vielleicht kann #Sustrans noch etwas machen.

  17. Well, #Hampshire County Council still think cyclists should not be using the #NationalCycleNetwork Route 23 to get to #JaysClose/#Viables Industrial Estate in #Basingstoke - there's still no dropped kerb since they built the new section of pavement. Is this negligence, ignorance, or deliberate due to a dislike of #cyclists? I wonder why #SusTrans don't audit the #NCN?

  21. This seems like a non-story to me.

    Surely #BritishCycling is primarily an organisation for sports & leisure cyclists?

    Organisations like #LondonCyclingCampaign or equivalents and #WeAreCycling or #Sustrans are more for pushing utility cycling & urban improvements for everyday #cycling

  22. Good morning everyone 🙂

    Here's another photo of one of the 20 iron sentinels of the Combe Down Tunnel just south of #Bath.

    Here, I was able to catch the ghostly outline of the refuge alcove too, illuminated by the pulsing glow of the sentinel as it bops along to the music.

    The longer exposure time has also caught a hint of what the inner disk of the sentinel looks like too.

  23. Hampshire County Council don't think anyone rides bicycles on this section of the National Cycle Network route 23 so installed a raised kerb, even though it is signed as the main route to the town centre. They say that the cycle barriers they installed further up the shared use path make cycling impossible on the shared use path.
    If only Sustrans bothered to maintain standards on the NCN, and reviewed the routes regularly.

  24. Abysmal weather that left my shoes waterlogged today, but I did enjoy being part of a ride-about in #Nuneaton to look at the National Cycle Network, the various problems, and to show how relatively small changes and improvements could make #cycling that much easier/accessible!

  25. Got in a decent ride today, putting my new bike lights to work in the #sustrans #twoTunnels route to Bath. The #kennetAndAvonCanal was mostly frozen apart from here by the locks. Photo enhanced with #Snapseed

  26. It's that time again! Last year, two schools in Nuneaton took part in the Sustrans Big Walk And Wheel - Whitestone Infant School and Chetwynd Junior School. Will they do so again, and who will join them?
