It was such a joy ! And none of it possible without the tireless focus of Gonul over the past few months ... with me trying to keep up. We loved our poster specially designed for the ride @rustytrike.bsky.social

Below all that's left of an elevated road in Groningen 🙏🏻 @cricklewoodmum.bsky.social during a recent cycling tour in 🇳🇱. Only 40 years till we catch up .... @robintucker1.bsky.social @dannyyee.bsky.social @christianwolmar.bsky.social @louisewass.bsky.social @wandsworthcycling.bsky.social

Why was this stuck in my letterbox today ?

Eilidh Murray@letsgetcracking· Jun 25

Watching the excellent @cleancitiescampaign.org session this morning talking about 'the child lens'. @londoncycling.bsky.social Women's Network, talks about 'the female lens'. Other lenses are available but stuck in a drawer. This is urgent ! @ianwalker.bsky.social

🍦🚲 💬 🏞️ 🌼🪻☕️🥐 🌳🦆🦮⛲️ Wondering if it was the promise of coconut ice cream which encouraged our 7 riders today ..... 🙏🏻 to our leader Gonul for the tip-off and the route ! Nothing nicer than a bike ride, blether and treats @londoncycling.bsky.social @cycleislington.uk

Brava for calling that out; I couldn't believe that in 2026 such twaddle could be written - and approved - by a local council. Ok they apologised but so disappointing. Look forward to the Freedom Ride - women, we still have much work to do ! lcc.org.uk/campaigns/wo...

Very pleased to be re-elected as an @londoncycling.bsky.social trustee. Thanks to all who voted for me; looking forward to continuing to work with Tom and the team. And of course with the fabulous LCC Women's Network - sleeves rolled up, work to be done ! @cycleislington.uk

Even during the day, it's far from ideal as a cycling route. Too narrow, too busy, too dangerous. Canal paths should not form part of London's Strategic Cycling Network - not fit for purpose. In mainland Europe, however

Proud to be on the Steering Group of the LCC Women's Network with Kate, Kerena, Gönül, Eka, Ade and Izzy and hundreds (yes hundreds) of fab women What do we want in 2026 ? Freedom to Ride ! @london.gov.uk @willnorman.co.uk

Eilidh Murray@letsgetcracking· Dec 30

What a great idea. Read a book a month in 2026. I will reread George Monbiot's Regenesis - a data dense but hugely informative read, well worth investing more time in.
