We’re asking the candidates to be your council’s next leader to commit to building a cycle network across the borough if elected on the 7th of May 🗳️ ✍️ Ask your next council leader to pledge to Streets for Cycling: lcc.org.uk/streets

London has committed to eliminating all road deaths and serious injuries by 2041 - but #carspreading is putting that at risk 🚗 ⬆️ Around a third of cars on London’s roads are now larger SUVs, making streets more dangerous, especially for children.

We've joined @cleancitiescampaign.org & 14 other orgs to call on @london.gov.uk to tackle #CarSpreading Read the letter we've co-signed on the thread here callng for higher charges for oversized, dangerous vehicles and more measures to reduce road danger & shift people away from bigger SUVs...

This was Such Fun; lots of families loving cycling together protected from car, bus, lorry and van drivers by marshals. A couple of impatient car drivers - one wanting to drive through us - but mostly well behaved. More please ! @londoncycling.bsky.social

‘Quality of life’ isn’t a big house, luxury goods or a fancy car. It’s being able to cycle your kids on safe streets or run side by side down peaceful roads with your friends. Everyone can & should have this.

This is today. Come along if you're in Bath!

Seven years today since @hammersmithbridge.bsky.social closed to motor traffic. Many happy returns to all who celebrate

Good news: Albert Bridge now open to walking, wheeling & cycling: www.rbkc.gov.uk/newsroom/alb...

Consider the infrastructure v enforcement debate settled. Car culture is a problem of public space. There is no policing your way to results as impressive as this.

If your city leaders see something AMAZING that another city is doing but claim “we could never do THAT in OUR city,” don’t believe them. Leadership doesn’t make excuses. It takes action. #UrbanTruth

We've been busy asking London political parties to back our #StreetsForKids manifesto. 💫 So, last week, it was wonderful to see Lambeth Labour’s support! We’d love to see our asks in their own manifesto soon. @lambethlabour.bsky.social

We've had great support from Cllr @liamshrivastava.bsky.social of @lewishamgreens.bsky.social for our #streetsforkids manifesto asks! We’d love to see our asks included in their own manifesto soon. #localelections #solvetheschoolrun #londonparents #ecofamily

💫 See how we're working to get secure, suitable #cargobike storage and parking into council manifestos. 😀 We believe all families should have access to a cargo bike - it's one of our #localelection asks. What else is in our #streetsforkids campaign? 👉 www.solvetheschoolrun.org/streetsforkids

🟢 We met @hackneygreenparty.bsky.social candidates, Cllr Zoe Garbett and @JacobCable at Queensbridge Primary to see how well the school street was functioning without regular ANPR. 🚸 Our #StreetsforKids asks were also discussed and we hope to see these in their #localelection manifesto soon!

Part of the cycle route the #KidicalMassLond ride went on just a week ago. C1 cycle route needs traffic reduction measures and so does Downham Road to prevent this very real danger @hackneycouncil.bsky.social @solveschoolrun.bsky.social @londoncycling.bsky.social @willnorman.co.uk
