I have seen lots of her photoshoots, but, with a bicycle? I am amazed, I may have to revise my opinion of her. 😂

It was something to do with active travel in Northumberland or North Tyneside. Maybe the Whitley Bay to Tynemouth stretch? To be fair she wasn't actually riding it, just standing holding it.

Active travel targets have been missed by miles :-

Add to that the fact that cycling mileage has dropped by 2.8% below the pre-Covid mileage - doesn't look great.
 
Primary school I used to work at had a very high level of kids walking to school

The one my grand kids go to is the exact opposite

but the reason is not connected to health and government targets

it is purely economical - I taught in a poor area
my grand kids go to a school in a much better off area


so - best course for the government is to make everyone poor and the active travel figures will go up!

( I presume the minister responsible does not consider CycleChat as one of their primary sources of sage advise???)
