Breaking down barriers
We hear you! “I would probably say Muslim women, BAME (black, Asian, and minority ethnic) women, women of colour on top of that they’ve got religious barriers, they’ve got cultural barriers, they’ve got clothing barriers.” says Shgufta Anwar of the Hijabi riders group. There are many barriers to cycling for some people. To adapt and overcome is the only way forward. Read all about the amazing Hijabi riders group here: https://buff.ly/35ZXpSL

City Network
Bold plans are afoot in Glasgow. The City Network idea is based around a vision that active travel becomes the first transport choice for everyday journeys. It is designed to ensure easy access to safe, segregated routes from homes, schools, and cultural destinations. You can’t argue with that! https://buff.ly/3IwZQKx #cycling

School bikes
We have often wondered if this was feasible – to travel from school to events like swimming outings by bike instead of bus. What with a crammed curriculum as well as maybe some health and safety questions some schools may ponder, it must seem like an impossibility. So pleased then that Tullygally School in Craigavon, Northern Ireland, has made this possible. Well done to teacher John O’Hagan and all those involved in this fantastic project.

Multi disciplined
A nice multi-tool almost sneaks into the N+1 category in our opinion.😁 The Brompton tool… the Blackburn tool wallet. Take a look at the selection reviewed. All for roadside repairs. https://buff.ly/3HDcszh I tend to keep a multi-tool in my pocket, every waking hour of every day. Is that sad? Or am I just mega-prepared for everything that life can throw at you?!! #tooltuesdays #bikerepairs #homebikemechanics #cycling #everydaycycling

What the hex!
Here is a very deep dive into the venerable Hex or Allen Key. Be warned, this is proper nerdery, and yet is surprisingly readable (or I find it so at any rate!). Why are they called Allen Keys? “Allen wrench (part of the original Allen Manufacturing Company) is a registered brand trademark” – well now you know! https://buff.ly/3Lfj8G5 #tooltuesdays
