It's amazing how much of a difference the congestion charge in Oxford has made. The roads are much quieter, it's so easy driving around the city centre now and being able to keep to time. My job has become less stressful.

Every death & serious injury on the roads brings devastating pain & trauma to victims, family, friends, communities & colleagues. Our powerful new road safety campaign is shaped by real stories of loss - massive thanks to RoadPeace for working with us. #VisionZeroLDN

“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways. Polanski added: “Stop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying ‘stop the bullshit’.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Good morning London 👋 amazing to see so many people walking and cycling to work, as I head to the @cleancitiescampaign.org Carspreading Conference on the bus 🚌 jealous that a running injury means I can’t join them!

The number of children injured or killed by cars while walking or riding a bike has fallen steadily since the 1970s, but CDC researcher note that this decline is not because streets are safer, but because fewer kids are out and about in the first place.

Two different views of the future of deliveries in Oxford. Both have their place - a zero emission van on the left, and a cargo trike max on the right. Great innovation from the university to have bulk of internal mail delivered by cargo trike 🙌

Another child tragically killed by a driver who got behind the wheel under the influence of drugs/ alcohol. We have technology to stop people driving in this state. But as a society we’ve decided such deaths are acceptable collateral damage from car-domination. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Southampton is not always the most beautiful city from a public realm perspective - it’s a busy port city that’s often car dominated 🚗 But this piece of public realm design is genuinely very nice 👌 And great to see it being used by kids, playing with friends on a summer’s eve ☀️

Some personal news! 👇

Need to take your parents’ suitcases home from the station? No car? No problem! 😌 As ever, our @ternbicycles.com cargo bike doing the heavy lifting 💪 #bikeisbest

I’m hiring a reporter for London Centric, looking for someone smart who can use a phone, knock on doors and wants to cause trouble. Don’t care if you’ve got qualifications, just want evidence of caring about news. Initial six month contract, pay above national rates. www.londoncentric.media/p/jobs

Now in the Commons committee stage there are proposed amendments and new clauses which, if passed, would ban the use of floating bus stops and end cycling as transport for most people in England. Clauses 30, 31 & 32 are key here 3/n publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbi...

Cycling is a joyful, practical and fun way to move from A to B ❤️ Love this photo I snapped in Toulouse on Saturday, which just encompasses everything cycling can and should be ☺️ #bikeisbest

A lower speed limit was imposed on this road after a fatal crash. It's now going to be raised again because impatient drivers overtake others dangerously. Probably until some other poor soul is killed. It's absolute insanity. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Toulouse is alive tonight for the national rugby final, which features the home side 🏉 People are walking, cycling, scooting and wheeling everywhere. Cars just don’t feature. Fantastic vibrant, liveable city 🌆 💚

Lac de la Cavayere, just outside Carcassonne, has a protected bike lane running almost all the way to this popular local attraction, connecting to nearby quiet ways 👌 This is incredibly rare in rural attractions near small towns in the U.K. - but should be the norm!

Loved seeing this cool micro mobility option in Carcassonne ‘new town’ today 🤩 It’s electric, free to use and takes people from the traffic-calmed centre to drop off points around the perimeter, usually bus stops 🚌 Saw lots of older people using it to shop today! 🛒

From June to September every year, the Pont St-Pierre in Toulouse is transformed for walking, cycling and wheeling, with shady seating areas and colourful street design 🚴‍♀️ 🚶🏽 🦽 Amazing and inspiring to see 💚

Good morning from Toulouse - where streets are for people, cargo bikes are everywhere, and cars are guests. 💚💚💚

Big week for us, as it’s the first full week that our new solar panels have been operational ☀️ For the past week, we have imported virtually *nothing* from the grid, using exclusively solar, either directly or via our battery 👌 Heat pump coming next month - excited for the impact on our bills! 🙂

My husband’s family opened a time capsule today, which was packed in Jan 2000 for the Millenium. This section from The Express is surprisingly upfront about car culture…’most of us realise that current car culture is unsustainable’ Since then, we’ve gone from 27 million cars to 32 million…🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

It’s an Audi TT which have a reputation for flipping over when losing control at 40/50mph… on a 20mph road last night in #Barnes #SW13

Great to see latest edition of Living Streets’ Pedestrian Pound report 🚶🏼‍♀️🪙 We know that people stay longer and spend more when public realm is improved 👍 Good for business, good for people, good for safety!

New report shows people walking spend more in UK shops than motorists. And that pedestrianised town centres have higher sales. #PedestrianPound Pedestrianising Oxford St will give the UK's most famous high street a much needed new lease of life. www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

Travelled to work the fun way this week - by Cable Car! 🚡 Stunning views ☀️ and free with a bike before 0930!

Good news! Our consultation on extending Cycleway 9 between Brentford & Syon Park shows the vast majority of people think it'll enable more people to cycle in the area. We're now working with @LBofHounslow to update the plans following your feedback.
