Drivers seem a bit on edge as well. My partner has noticed it when she drives and I agree

Every few years I signup for the Elite package from @cyclometer, my biking app of choice. Partially to help them stay in business, and partially to see what is available. Offered a £10 deal for the year, I have taken it, and am looking forward to the integration with my Apple Watch.
I had four months off the etrike in the middle of the year, due to lackadaisical supplier, insurance etc after the first trike was written off after crash-I wasn’t hurt. It was weird to live without the trike for so long. But you don’t forget how to ride! Best wishes for your family rides in 2026 ❤️
Thanks for all of this. Great that it shows what can be done, but depressing about our inability to do anything similar
And thank you to @Transport_Nottm and @PedalsNottm - we are lucky in Nottingham to have both ❤️
Happy Xmas to all my followers and a BIG thank you to all the people who stepped in to help me this year when I was stuck/crashed on my trike. Young and old, men and women, who put themselves out for a stranger. Much appreciated ❤️
Aside from a daily check of @Transport_Nottm on Twitter , I am taking a break from this social media. Till the new year at least. Cheerio
We can only dream
Throughout the long saga of my etrike write off and eventual replacement, Assetsure have been VERY helpful. I am glad I had my cycle insurance with them and recommend them wholeheartedly
Pleased to say I have now got my replacement etrike and after 2 and a half months, am riding again. But slowly 😀, nervous about falling. Baby steps for me
Just more War on Motorists 😂
Pity that it stops short of fixing the inaccessible chicane at the top onto the road
probably because the county council would consider it part of the war on motorists 😂
I have long thought that a lane each way on Trent bridge should be converted to a bike lane the day any new car bridge opens. don't think about it, just do it
Went through the new crossing on queens drive today. So wonderful to have a chicane wide enough for me to manoeuvre my trike. Thank you @Transport_Nottm ! ❤️
And the path to the leenside bypasses the short sharp hill. *though it is rather overgrown, perhaps a trim is needed?
best news in all the gloom❤️🏍️
Isn’t the problem with Gedling and any other major extension the design flaw of all trams have to go through the station? There is no other branching point
An we think Trump’s people are sycophantic , DEFRA “understood to have made representations to Downing Street that beavers could be part of Labour’s growth mission, as the rodents work for free to build infrastructure and restore nature.’
all too common, especially with Notts CC. no money for maintenance, the equivalent of a depreciation charge. sigh
First time riding down maid Marian way since road resurfaced. Fantastic and smooth ride. So nice to be able to simply coast under the car park bridge instead of anxiously watching for large potholes. Thanks @transport_nottm ❤️
@pedals.org.uk on Sunday night I emailed my apologies for not coming to the meeting on Monday with a few comments on the topic of bike stands at supermarkets. I also made a small donation using the website. Not had any come back from you - did either reach you? [twitter consistency]
I am old enough to remember a consultation that nat highways did on the bike path from Dunkirk flyover to the QMC roundabout. what happened to their plans to improve that?
I stopped using that as being too dangerous when I was on a two wheel bike
I believe that everyone who lives in “Nottingham” knows where it is - the area served by the historical routes of the “corporation bus”. Steve Calvert has written a longer article which gives wider perspective on why Nottingham should be Nottingham.

Just renewed my Nottingham #CycleParks access card. Only £12, not many things I get for a £/mth that give me such pleasure 🏍️
Very grateful to the bloke who came to my assistance on Wheeler Gate this afternoon and picked up my trike and put it on the pavement so I could lock it and go to The Bag Company. The kerb was a bit much for me. #thanks
Would be great if @nottspolice enforced the Yellow Box at junction Carrington Street, Arkwright, and Queens Road. Yesterday about 3pm had to wait to cross from Carrington to Arkwright due to cars queuing and blocking the road. @transport_nottm
Possibly bad news for cyclists as Council trial new taxi ranks:
“The markings for the advisory cycle lane on Carrington Street will be removed – cyclists will still be able to use this quiet route,”

dreadful news. but not too surprising, sadly www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/j...
congrats! small steps will soon turn into big rotations ❤️
wish Rushcliffe would take notice
