Fiets Podcast 007: Insurance, speed limits, and registrations
Just a quick thing...
I have chosen not to use adverts, pop-ups, mailing lists, or mandatory subscriptions, but it means there is an ongoing cost for me in researching and writing content, and generally advocating for active travel - time spent not working! If you can throw a few pounds my way to help out, your support is gratefully received! Thank you!

Welcome Back to The Fiets Podcast! This time: A lack of personal cycling with bike problems; Warwickshire’s LCWIP consultation closes; Grant Shapps’ comments on mandatory insurance, speed limits, and registrations; off to the Netherlands. You can support this podcast through Ko-Fi.com/BicycleBen – Thank you!
