✅ Employing Camden apprentices
❌ More to do on dumped bikes but a willingness to collaborate

Tried out a @forestbike.bsky.social that they clearly needed moving as got 30mins cycling for £1. Worked out well for me to get me to lectures today. I usually ride my own bike but wanted to have some proper pre-birthday drinks after lectures today. 🥂

This is a biggie! We're delighted to be launching this partnership with Bolt. It's another powerful step towards unifying the fragmented micromobility and shared mobility market, and is part of a wider trend seen across the industry.

Forest is and always has been committed to providing an equitable and inclusive service. We're really pleased to sign the e-bike charter, and look forward to growing our partnership with @slcouncils.bsky.social and the VI community so we continue improving and building a more inclusive service.
Women ride with Forest more regularly, with 63% of our female users using our e-bikes at least once a week, compared to 12% of private female cyclists in the UK. But to achieve true gender parity, @londoncycling.bsky.social's recommendations must be introduced. (2/2)
Forest is incredibly proud to have supported this important research by @londoncycling.bsky.social and we echo their calls for more inclusive planning of cycle routes and parking infrastructure. (1/2)
