Sharing this from the other place (ht to @salawatson.bsky.social) - I love how Sustrans are blurring the boundaries between (children’s) play and mobility (or acknowledging that blurring) - but read the comments and apparently this is yet more evidence that Sustrans are getting it all wrong 🙄

Screenshot of a Sustrans tweet: The National Cycle Network spans 12,619 miles throughout the UK, with approximately 50% of people living within 1 mile of it, and over a third living within a 10-minute walk. And it's not just for cycling.

I've seen some of that messaging, and renaming to a broader appeal is a thought that has been stuck in my head for a while (maybe from Laura Laker). Slightly tongue in cheek this morning, and the naming is the least of the NCNs issues. I agree that some Sustrans messaging is off target
