"Zohran Mamdani will be the first mayor of New York City in decades not to own a car" Will be exciting to see if he can implement his vision to pedestrianize areas in the congestion pricing zone and dedicate entire streets as combo busways + active transportation

Taking a spin on Cycleway 4 with #TheDoodle and #MPoulet. *Impossible* without the floating bus stops.

Zack Polanski, leader of the Green Party, is to be a guest on "Have I Got News For You" on Friday November 6th.

🌞 weather gods are currently behaving for Sunday's Family ride ! Sign up lcc.org.uk/events/wn-fa... and look out for local feeder rides eg lcc.org.uk/events/islin... @londoncycling.bsky.social @joyridersuk.bsky.social @fincraig.bsky.social @beancycling.bsky.social @cyclinguk.bsky.social

Good on @craigmurrayorg.bsky.social for launching a legal challenge in Scotland against the proscribing of Palestine Action - please do share and support it! www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/202...

It’s pronounced cyclist.

“Britain is a nation of neighbours, not strangers — and it’s time we built a politics of hope that reflects that.” Zack Polanski with a message of unity and hope having been out door knocking Handsworth today.

Se have now set up a petition. Please do sign & share 🙏🏼https://www.change.org/p/transfer-greenwich-foot-tunnel-management-to-transport-for-london

"Right wing shit rags" That's me joined the Greens then. So refreshing to hear a politician say it like it is for once, keep it up!

My e-bike has turned my hilly suburban East Richmond area into a 15-minute neighborhood. Post office, hardware store, 3+ groceries, Kaiser, gym, waterfront all in easy reach for this creaky 74 yo.

“The e-bike lets me keep riding bikes and spend time outside, even though I have this health condition,” she said. “I don’t think that a lot of people realize that e-bikes make things accessible to people with disabilities.” www.berkeleyside.org/2025/10/07/e...

Putting aside how the UK government usually responds to these petitions by simply saying 'no', seeing this hit a million signatures in like a day kinda shows how much people REALLY do not want this. So yeah, keep signing it. Let's see how high this can go! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

NEW for autumn 🍂 NEW for autumn 🍂 Commuter Collective regular rides from north > south of the borough. Join Alice and Jay on Wednesday 24 September and every Wednesday at 0800 near Finsbury Park. Details 👇🏼 cycleislington.uk/2025/commute... @hackneylcc.bsky.social

www.onlondon.co.uk/news-tfl-rep... Lots of violence still by motor vehicle owners.

The Embankment cycleway (CS3) in London was purposefully built to be wider than was usual in order to future proof it. Some said it would hardly be used. Now there’s a decent case for widening it further. Induced demand is real.

Bear in mind this video the next time you see people complaining about Lime bikes being strewn across the pavement. Hard to believe that psychos like this live amongst us. What a pathetic existence.

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 Letter to Guardian. Will they publish it?

Come and join us for our monthly catch-up and chat on Wednesday 10 September at 1900 in the Town Hall. On the agenda: killer junction update, Cycle Buddies, our 50th in 2026 and forthcoming jaunts. All welcome. And talking of jaunts - next up 👇🏼 lcc.org.uk/events/islin...

Nigel Farage is the biggest charlatan in British political history. And here's what his constitutents in Clacton really think:

The only people who have spoiled the nature of this area were the mindless thugs who came to our homes last evening and created chaos. I’ve never been scared by the asylum seekers. I’m terrified that the angry mob will return. So, how do I get *my* country back from them? I’ve genuinely no idea

Cycle tracks are now fully surfaced at Essex Rd crossing. Markings (including the cycle crossing) + permanent🚦activation still to come... @marcus-on-a-bike.bsky.social @edmondchuihw.bsky.social @raynoldchow.bsky.social @cycleislington.uk

Great to see the cycle route option on TfL Go now shows users what percentage of their journey will be on a Cycleway, and where those sections are located. We’ve also integrated elevation data to be able to show how and where a route climbs and descends. #LondonLovesCycling

I really cannot overstate how fantastic biking in the AM is for my small person. After the “get dressed” and “eat your breakfast” and “OMG put your shoes ON” struggles she gets to hop on her bike, take control, and move her body. She walks into the classroom feeling like a million bucks.

Interesting study around LTNs cutting deaths and injuries, with no impact to outside roads. An effective safety measure.

injuryprevention.bmj.com/content/earl... Health impact of LTN In absolute terms, the study concluded, this meant that creating the LTNs prevented more than 600 road injuries that would have otherwise taken place, including 100 involving death or serious injury

Just an incredible number of commuters on Lime bikes in London this week People are noticing that on hot days an e-bike is the breezy sweat-free alternative to public transport

Two years ago I interviewed a 31-year-old NY state assemblymember about a 7-year-old girl killed by an SUV driver in his district. I hung up the phone, astonished that I'd talked to a legislator who so thoughtfully articulated what actually needs to change on our streets. He'll make a great mayor

"driver who fled the scene after killing a cyclist — and took documents with him in an attempt to cover his tracks... jailed for one year and three months and banned from driving for three years" 3 years and they will be driving again what is wrong with this country? road.cc/content/news...

TfL are consulting on increasing the congestion charge, and including electric vehicles (at a discounted rate). Tell them they should extend the CC hours to include the evenings again, as there's still way too much traffic and congestion after 6pm! haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/congestion-c...

Good work by @transportaction.bsky.social 👏 Best thing would be for the government to just get on and fund walking and cycling properly ....

Shocking. Who knew that paint doesn't protect. Hope you are contacting the van's owners ?

Some good news on walking & cycling budgeting. transportactionnetwork.org.uk/treasury-cut...

We know how to save lives and make our city safer for everyone, especially children, older and disabled people, to walk, cycle and catch the bus. Rolling out 20mph speed limits everywhere people are using pavements and need to cross the road makes sense.

Safe family cycling in London this morning, thanks to floating bus stops

From 0930 to 1645, a fab day - many thanks to our volunteers for giving their time to lead rides, to chat, to campaign and to share the joy of cycling. 🙏🏻 also to @londoncycling.bsky.social @limebike.bsky.social @islington-council.bsky.social @joyridersuk.bsky.social

I'm proud to #BackZack @zackpolanski.bsky.social Labour's right wing escapades are only handing this country to Reform whilst making everything worse. Yet the GPEW have not filled the gap - we must grasp the opportunity, be bold, and paint the picture of the inclusive future nobody else is!

Paris built it and they came. Remove the road danger and lots more will cycle. Even the UK sort of proved this during COVID when the roads were very quiet and lots more cycled. The UK needs to stop being timid and just chuck money and effort at active travel.

Great progress on Canonbury Street/Rotherfield Street cycle lane - will finally join East and West Canonbury. Can't wait ! 🙏🏻 @islington-council.bsky.social

Wow! Biggest increase in cycling in the City of London since records began💥 🚲139,000 people cycling a day ⬆️ 50,000 more than 2022 ⬆️Cycling up 70% since 2017 ⬇️Motor traffic down 34% Building cycleways is working! Inspo for @citywestminster.bsky.social next door? 😍 More info: bit.ly/3RzS4FY

Great to see a rail tunnel being built alongside this road tunnel between Denmark and Germany. If only we had the same ambition in the UK! (Looking at you, Lower Thames Crossing ...) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Some stats from 100 days in on congestion pricing: - Complaints about car-honking are down 70% - The Holland Tunnel has 65% fewer delays at rush hour; time to get thru it is down 48% - 6 million fewer cars - Half as many traffic-related injuries - 1.5 million more visitors to BIDs year over year

What are the chances the other driver was driving below the 20mph limit here?

We shouldn't forget that Khan scrapped the Rotherhithe to Canary Wharf walking and cycling bridge in 2019 on cost grounds, but an urban motorway is apparently fine. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotherh...

Ludicrous that the current Labour government wants to keep expanding airports. They think it will boost the economy, only showing how far out of touch they are with business needs. More flying won't boost GDP, and would take a decade plus of construction before having an effect in any case.

What do local people think of Finsbury Park junction ? @cycleislington.uk asked them... cycleislington.uk/2024/finsbur...

Ready for business ! Let's make killer junction at Finsbury Park safe ! @hackneylcc.bsky.social @haringeycyclists.bsky.social @livingstreets.bsky.social @londoncycling.bsky.social @london.gov.uk

Fiscal rules are works of fiction. They are as made up as fairy tales are, and yet the Chancellor is asking us to believe that she should manage the economy by complying with them. Why is she so deeply misguided, whilst taking us for fools? youtu.be/aYl-x0Y5SJE?...

Stop telling us road violence is not terror
