The bestest, brightest tweeters & campaigners1 on active travel are women, incl @Jo_Earlsfield & @carlafrancome. That Jo has been targeted by a nasty misogynist gang of bitter men, raging that they've lost the argument in every way, is sadly unsurprising. #BigUpJoRigby
My thoughts FWIW. 1. Don't engage w these idiots directly. Don't reply. Screenshot & use to make points if you must. Report. But don't engage. Don't feed trolls folks. 2. Good news: they've lost. That they do stuff like this shows that. 3. Bad news: that makes those left worse...
4. Again, it needs saying, that while there are idiots on both 'sides' of this debate, if you think LTNs, bus gates, cycleways are evil, you are standing on the same side as folks who doxx, follow people home, routinely target women, make violent threats, cause criminal damage...
1. Hi everyone. The wonderful woman who is Jo Rigby is leaving Twitter for a bit. She sent me a note which she asked me to share with you. I’ve spoken to her on the phone and she’s doing okay-ish. But it’s still with a heavy heart that I post this, because no-one should feel 
2. they need to leave Twitter to protect themselves. I’m sure you all feel as grateful as I do that she’s such a shining light in active travel campaigning. And I hope she’ll be back soon with more of her brilliant mint-coloured, bobbin-filled fun. She says if any Jo-lovers..
3. would like to message, she’s on her council address. Any haters, please find a new hobby. (Maybe pick up a guitar? Just a thought from me!) Love to everyone.. #BigUpJoRigby
