Critical Mass ride this Sunday in Worcester in support of International Women’s Day. All are welcome.
I mostly report to West Mercia, and my experience isn’t great.
Feedback to reporters has worsened (no segregation between warning / NIP).
Worse is I have evidence via FOI that some reports advised as NIP are actually NFA.
It’s proving difficult to find out what’s happening. Not great.
This Saturday 21st Feb is the 57th consecutive monthly Critical Mass ride in Worcester.
If you’re interested in a super safe gentle roll around the city centre and a natter with other folk whose a bike to get around, come and join us at Cafe Viaduct at 10:15.
Suitable for all, no set route.
❤️🚲👍🏼🙂

One of those captcha things. This one says ‘select all images with bicycles. Click verify once there are none left’. There are 9 squares - 4 contain photos of bicycle seats, with the remaining 5 showing the beautiful head and face of a grey greyhound with a white stripe going from the top of their head to the tip of their nose.
Hats off to whoever did this (and the beautiful model).
First Worcester Critical Mass of 2026, followed by a Room to Ride workshop.
10:15 meet Cafe Viaduct, come and have a natter gentle roll around the city centre, suitable for all, no set route (whoever’s at the front chooses the route).

Bike buses! 🙂👍🏼❤️🚲

Worcester Critical Mass ride, this Saturday.
Come and have a chat, then go for a roll. No fixed route, suitable for all wheels and abilities.
We’re ready to welcome students to @WorcesterUni, and talk all things bikes (the quickest, cheapest and most convenient way to get around the city 😉).
The @worcesternews is fast approaching 300 reports this year about unique incidents of RTCs or illegal driving.
Yet to hear it described as a problem worth tackling in the city as a whole.

The updated article now mentions two cars involved in an RTC.
Still no drivers.

"Eight people were arrested for offences including actual bodily harm (ABH), criminal damage, drug offences, theft and immigration breaches"
As my colleague once said: not all drivers are criminals but most criminals are drivers
@gazza-d.bsky.social @gazza-d.bsky.social so I’ve had a couple of Moulton’s donated to the Bike Worcester bike recycling scheme.
We normally repair, safety check and sell on for £20 - £100 but I’m guessing these are worth a bit more?
Next Sat 19 July is the 50th consecutive monthly critical mass ride in Worcester.
Spread the word. Everyone’s welcome on any bike / trike / wheelchair / scooter / skateboard / roller skate / other.
No set route (follow the leader) and we ride at the speed of the slowest rider.
Long journeys take longer in an EV compared with ICE. This is the way.
You’re right, I’m wrong 😂.
But I’d propose a correction, which is a perception of a lack of charging infrastructure, rather than that being a reality (based on current charging and current EV numbers).
I’ve had one for 5 years, never had a problem (just checked with partner).
Has there been any research on barriers to take up?
I’d hypothesise a bigger barrier is the fact it’s something different (differentism?) as in fear of change. Next is cost. So bringing back the fuel price escalator helps move the dial.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_Pr...
We should acknowledge private car ownership as a problem, and its cost to society, and set policy to change it.
Average in Worcester (100,000 pop) is 20% of households with no car. City centre this is as high as 75%.
The average UK car does nowt for 95% of the time.
Holistically this is daft.
Kerb side, but take your point.
Agree with LAs shouldn’t be out of pocket (including investment, management, operating cost, maintenance and admin).
I’ve had an EV for 5 years, couldn’t charge at home for the first 12 months.
It was not a problem.
