A certificate headed "London Cycling Campaign Awards 2025" for the "take notice" award "for standing out from the crowd with communications around an active travel project or campaign". It's to me, Mark Philpotts where I am highly commended for "The Ranty Highwayman". It sports a cartoon of six different people cycling a variety of cycles.

Well this was lovely from @londoncycling.bsky.social at the #LCC2025 awards last night.

It really does mean a great deal for me in the push for more travel options in my home city and beyond; and for 2026, I've already got some blog posts forming!

1/2

Ready for day 1!
