A Fond Farewell to Frairy Walk’s bike storage

While we're gutted to see the fantastic Friary Walk bike storage go, this isn't the end of the road; it's a call to action for our City and County Councils and housing providers to step up and invest in the secure, quality bike storage that Worcester riders desperately need.

We think it should be safer and easier to cycle in Worcester

This blog is a rolling tally of Road Traffic Collisions (RTCs) reported on by the Worcester News in 2025. We’ll try to only have a single link to multiple crashes (there are often multiple articles) and will endeavour to not count any reports on historical crashes that are now in court; but please point out any errors and we’ll try and correct. Each image should link to the Worcester News article.

In June 2025 Worcester Rugby Football Club (WRFC) took part in the International Mixed Ability Rugby Tournament (IMART) in Pamplona, Spain.

Three members of the Worcester squad made the journey there by bicycle, around 1,400 km of pedalling, to raise awareness of the Mixed Ability Rugby movement, to inspire others to travel by bike, and to raise money for the charity RoadPeace.

Rob Collier, Steve Slawson and Dan Brothwell set off from Worcester the week before the tournament started, cycled to the south coast of the UK, the length of France, and finally over the northern Pyrenees before arriving in Pamplona…
