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.

Sustrans has gone very much with the 'does exactly what it says on the tin' approach for their rebrand. #sustrans #walkwheelcycletrust #activetravel #cycling #walking

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?

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!

Almost twice as many boys as girls cycle in UK, #Sustrans report finds

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?

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...

@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.

Great to see #Sustrans Millennium Milepost in #Norwich King Street to be repainted

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. -

The Sustrans Walking and Cycling Index shows a marked appetite for more #ActiveTravel options in my city. OF COURSE IT DOES!! 😄

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?

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

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.
