@exetercycling.bsky.social will be welcoming Tom Fyans of the @londoncycling.bsky.social as our special guest speaker, who should be well worth a listen. If you come in person there will be cake, coffee and the chance to laugh at me getting stressed trying to run the AV system.
Likely of interest to the #urbanists, #ActiveTransport and #SafeStreetsNow folks on here.
@UniOfExeter GSI talk with Professor Dame Henrietta Moore, UCL, social anthropologist and author of "Roadkill", who will discuss how we can move towards a car free future and sustainable transport for all.

Meanwhile drug drivers who kill cyclists get three years https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/driver-killed-exeter-cyclist-inhaling-9344980
I'm not saying there should be no punishment for cyclists who kill people, but some proportionality for drivers would be nice.

Attended another ghost bike memorial placement ceremony, for the girl who died in Ajax Nov7.
That's the 18th cyclist killed in Ontario this year.
We can't keep doing this.
We need policy that protects people.
#KidicalMass #Exeter will ride again on the 14th of December, a family friendly bike ride calling for #SafeStreetsNow for cyclists of all ages. Gathering at 10:30 in Belmont Park to set off at 11, finishing in Northernhay Gardens with mulled wine and mince pies. Christmas costumes optional but encouraged.
