Here is a very deep dive into the venerable Hex or Allen Key. Be warned, this is proper nerdery, and yet is surprisingly readable (or I find it so at any rate!). Why are they called Allen Keys? “Allen wrench (part of the original Allen Manufacturing Company) is a registered brand trademark” – well now you know! https://buff.ly/3Lfj8G5 #tooltuesdays

Cargo conversion
Take a read of how this family ditched their car for a cargo bike. https://buff.ly/3gv2jJ2 What a fantastic thing to do and what an inspiration to us all. Although my bike is always my first transport choice, I’d certainly love to ditch my car completely, and I always feel jealous of those I meet who don’t own a car. This makes it seem much more possible.

Signs of safety
Interesting… supporting rider safety with road signs encouraging drivers to keep a safe 1.5m distance when overtaking actually reduced the amount of close passes significantly in a trial in East Lothian, Scotland. https://buff.ly/3gv62qe Can’t be bad. How about rolling this out across the entire country? #zerocarboncities #bikeisbest #healthbystealth #cyclingfortransport #cycling

Unlawful removal
Whaaat??!! Such a shame it had to take a charity to challenge a council on this. The Council finally admitted it had acted unlawfully in removing a cycle lane. West Sussex County Council removed a Shoreham cycle lane in November 2020, just weeks after it had been built. What were they thinking?! https://buff.ly/3nZleQv

Highway code change
The Highway Code is changing on 29th January 2022. Make sure you know about the new rules and don’t get drawn into the sometimes toxic narrative led by the media and the powerful motoring lobby https://buff.ly/3o28Hvz There has been a lot of vitriolic comment around about these new changes, whipped up by the media, of course, telling untruths about cyclists being told to ride “in the middle of the road”. What utter nonsense. There is very definitely a problem on our roads with congestion and aggression and health issues abound due in no small part by people using cars as
