Great presentation by the LCC Women's Network at the 2025 London Walking, Wheeling and Cycling Conference. Well done Kate! 👏 Reminder: London's Cycleways need to be routed through safe places - eg not parks - to work for everyone 24/7 🚨 lcc.org.uk/news/womens-...

More cyclists, even wobbly ones, a good thing! A surge in 'strikelists' on the commute this week means some folk will continue cycling when strike is over - but "exposes the lack of capacity for cycling in London" says our Head of Campaigns @psimonk.bsky.social metro.co.uk/2025/09/09/s...

We were saddened to learn that one of Britain's finest frame builders, Adrian Parry, passed away this week. Adrian, an award winner, built frames for Roberts Cycles and Autostrada before setting up his own Six Four frameworks. He also taught frame building to others so his legacy will live on.

Lifesaving, life-improving: transformed quality of life along a key route that used to be too dangerous for most folks to consider cycling, and horrible for walk/wheel as well. We love the skills, vision, and determination here. World class Camden!

Some of London's most dangerous junctions are at side roads where lots of people cycle past lots of drivers turning. The answer, as we told Global Cycling Network recently, is often LTNs. Now @active-ata.bsky.social evidence: removing cut-through motor traffic saves lives bsky.app/profile/find...

Hold the date! Showcasing Oxford Street: car-free day on Sunday 21 September! Visit to experience for yourself how shoppers and retailers alike benefit from ambling speeds and the absence of large vehicles. www.london.gov.uk/media-centre...

LCC's eyes have been wide open to this for a very long time - we've listened to our walk/wheel campaigning allies and it's exactly what we say about being able to cycle. And if hardworking folk can only fit activity in as part of a commute, safe spaces for cycling & walking are BOTH essential.

While we love celebrating places in London where cycling is now safe and popular for a diverse range of people, there's still so much to do - so much opposition to simple, effective strategies for safety wins in so many places - that we don't feel London is yet matching Europe's top cycling cities.
