@meganL #MotorNormativity for people talking about transport policy and #CarBrain .

#UrbanCycling for cycling in towns and cities, usually for transport purposes.

#CyclingUK for cycling in the UK (and presumably for what was previously the CTC).

#Coffeeneuring for folks who #AlwaysBeCoffeeneuring or who are taking part in the annual challenge (ride a bike 7 times at least 2 miles and have a beverage).

Have also seen #SustainableTransport , although that's not cycling specific.
