@cyclinguk.bsky.social🍂 Crisp air, golden leaves and quieter trails… autumn is calling.
From the Pembrokeshire coast to the Sperrin Mountains, Galloway and the Yorkshire Dales, we’ve picked 10 of the best places for cycling this autumn.
@cyclinguk.bsky.social🧡 Our Connecting Communities programme receives funding from the Scottish Government People and Place grant, administered and supported in the south-east of Scotland by SEStran.
@cyclinguk.bsky.socialA cancelled bus route might not sound like the start of a cycling story, but for Sophie, it was...
Through our Connecting Communities programme, she received support with routes, ride buddies & an e-bike loan, helping her to ride to work.
@cyclinguk.bsky.social🗣️ “Improving safety for cyclists means more than painted lanes. It’s about streets that feel safe and welcoming for everyone.”
#GlowRides returns on 22 October to highlight why too many women feel unsafe cycling after dark.
Why these rides matter: cyclinguk.org/ready-steady-glow
@cyclinguk.bsky.socialLast week, we were at the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool, meeting MPs, ministers and partners to talk about cycling, active travel and safer streets. From glow rides and women’s safety to e-bikes and safer transport, we’re keeping cycling firmly in the conversation.
@cyclinguk.bsky.socialAt Cuerden Valley Park, improvements have made it easier for people to walk, wheel and cycle, including one local resident who uses a recumbent trike. It’s one of 11 case studies in our new 'Route Forward' report, showing what’s already working across the UK.
@cyclinguk.bsky.socialIt’s time to make #MyRideOurRight a reality!
This October, thousands will join glow rides calling for safer streets and cycle routes for women.
We’re taking the message ‘Not Designed For Me’ to Downing Street.

@cyclinguk.bsky.social🌙 The nights are drawing in, so it’s time to dig out your lights and make sure they’re still working...

@cyclinguk.bsky.socialRead the report at cyclinguk.org/route-forward
@cyclinguk.bsky.socialWhat happens when you put people at the heart of a city centre? Bradford added 2.4km of cycle lanes, 1.6km of pedestrianised streets and 12,000m² of green space. It’s one of 11 UK case studies in our Route Forward report, showing what’s possible when we put people first.
@cyclinguk.bsky.socialA cargo bike, Brompton, train and a fair few boxes later, the whole stand arrived at Active Travel England's 'Making Active Places' conference in Manchester last week. But what does it tell us about making everyday journeys easier & how all the pieces need to work together?
@cyclinguk.bsky.social⛵️ What if your next European adventure involved cycling 880km to a conference? That’s what Cycling UK member Richard did, sailing from Dover to Boulogne before cycling to Konstanz, Switzerland on his Brompton. And yes, he even got to helm the ferry!
@cyclinguk.bsky.socialIf you stopped cycling to work tomorrow, what would you miss most? 👀 For many of us, the commute is more than just getting from A to B. It’s a chance to decompress after a busy day, squeeze in some exercise or soak up a bit of nature. What’s your reason why? 👇
