Our response to Active Travel England's Women and Girls Safety programme...
“Women deserve the same freedom to move as men, and we’ll keep pushing for action – because when we make cycling safer for women, we make it safer for everyone.”

#MyRideOurRight
Recent weeks show our reliance on cars, but cycling can help. Most 2024 journeys were under 5 miles, ideal for cycling. Swapping short car trips saves £, pollution & fossil fuel use. Safer roads matter, which is why backing #MyRideOurRight helps everyone.

On #InternationalWomensDay we call for everyone to support @cyclinguk.bsky.social’s #MyRideOurRight campaign, because women deserve the freedom to move
This #InternationalWomensDay, we’re celebrating 1 year of #MyRideOurRight. Cycling means independence, freedom, and community (and that’s our right). Share our guide with your council to help shape the next generation of cycling

💡 #MyRideOurRight in today’s @Daily_Express
Cycle routes cannot just work in daylight. Many women are still choosing between poorly lit paths or intimidating roads; street lighting shapes real-world safety.

Exercise should feel simple, but for many women it doesn’t.
In this powerful Woman and Home piece, Khadija Patel shares how racism and harassment make cycling feel unsafe. It’s why #MyRideOurRight matters. Everyone deserves to move through public spaces without fear.
Everyone who wants to should be able to cycle in safety - as well as walk and run.
On Tuesday I repeated my push for improved reporting mechanisms for female cyclists who've been harassed #MyRideOurRight
Call on your MP to support @werahobhouse.org.uk’s call for safer infrastructure, and to support @cyclinguk.bsky.social’s #MyRideOurRight campaign,
💬 Big moment for #MyRideOurRight
Yesterday, MPs from across parties debated women’s safety while walking, wheeling, cycling and running, hearing how road design must reflect real experiences and why safety fears still deter many from cycling.

It’s really poor, especially as close passes are more likely to discourage women as per @cyclinguk.bsky.social’s #MyRideOurRight campaign.
I’m sure @andy-cox.bsky.social has views #ThirdPartyVideoReporting

Screencap from my handlebar cam showing a car overtaking me by driving literally inside the bike lane, centimetres from me. My handlebars stick out further to the sides than my front rack does.
Oh yeah also this happened ON THE WAY TO THE GLOW RIDE YESTERDAY.
Like, I had a child on the back and literal fairy lights all over my bike and this driver still didn't see me.
(Yes, complete footage including reg plate sent to police.) #bikesky #myrideourright
A shop window with numerous bikes on display and the caption "good for you, good for the planet and good for our communities. Everything starts with a bike. The Bike Station"
Also providing support tomorrow (as they have on many previous rides) the ever brilliant @thebikestation.bsky.social will be sending along a mobile mechanic to help with any mechanical issues.
