Fantastic breakfast event this morning, thanks to all volunteers, and to everyone who came for the scran and a chat. See you next year! (p.s. go to the last photo to see how the croissants were delivered)

Free cyclists' breakfast this Saturday morning in London Fields! Would be great to see you there, either to help out or just to have a chat.

Thanks to our volunteers who handed out flyers at Hackney Road and Old Street this morning—500 in an hour isn't bad going! Had lots of good conversations about our and LCC's work too.

White bike event today at the shocking gyratory at Finsbury Park where C50 chucks cyclists into heavy dangerous traffic. @willnorman.co.uk @cycleislington.uk @hackneycycling.org.uk @haringeycyclists.bsky.social

If you have not responded yet, please do it now!! The consultation aims to draw out people's experience of using Bank junction - information which cannot be simply derived from traffic movement surveys. Your views and number of responses have an effect! Just one week to go! bank-taxi.commonplace.is

Worth supporting. Even if you never step foot in Tower Hamlets, if you like the idea of TfL not pointlessly burning money, this should be of interest! The precedent set by the previous decision is when TfL agrees a plan with a borough, and funds that plan, councils can't just bulldoze it all later.

Congratulations to @zoegarbett.bsky.social and Hackney Greens on their electoral success! Hoping to see decisive action taken on decarbonising transport and improving safety. Lots to do!

We've updated the hustings page on our website with details of which of our asks the candidates supported (and also, if available, their responses to the asks):

Good evening Bluesky! Welcome to the live thread of the Hackney 2026 Mayoral Active Travel hustings. A full house here at the Pembury Community centre. We are joined by the 🟥🟩🟦 parties

Ate you set for summer on your bike ? Get your bike fixed by Dr Bike and marked - today at St Mary's Islington. @camdencyclists.bsky.social @hackneycycling.org.uk

Very close to being able to tick this one off it seems... hackneycycling.org.uk/gateways/

We're holding a hustings event next Thursday (16th April) jointly with Living Streets and @lowtraffichackney.bsky.social. This will be an exellent opportunity to hear each candidate's vision for active travel in Hackney, and to ask them questions on walking, cycling and wheeling.

If you live near or visit London Fields this may be of interest to you: consultation.hackney.gov.uk/housing-serv... A child was hit and injured here a few years ago. While we understand the desire to improve safety, this will in effect bar users of adapted cycles / mobility scooters / cargo bikes.

With thanks to all who discussed the dismal lack of progress on C50 @haringeycyclists.bsky.social @hackneylcc.bsky.social @londoncycling.bsky.social Calling @willnorman.co.uk @london.gov.uk - this was announced in 2018, would be super to complete by 2028 ? youtu.be/pYHVj9JRzGY

We don’t just want more and better LTNs, we want Hackney main roads to change. 10% of Hackney residents live on main roads, and we want those people to feel the benefit too. Here’s how main roads should be changed in Hackney: www.lowtraffichackney.org/hackneys-mai... #hackney #LTN #traffic

We'll hold our regularly monthly meeting this Wednesday evening. Likely to include: - Updates on upcoming LTNs - A Burns Night debrief - Upcoming election, what should be our asks for candidates, husting arrangements - Upcoming rides planning Register here: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

If you live in the Well Street area, or regularly travel through there, this is a good opportunity to give input into upcoming changes. Certainly there are opportunities availble to make certain streets much more pleasant and people-focused, and to join up existing cycle routes better.

Burns Night 2026 is up and running!

Court of Appeal just ruled Tower Hamlets DECISION to remove the Bethnal Green LTN is UNLAWFUL. Councils can't remove without going through proper process & getting Mayor of London's approval. This is a MASSIVE precedent for London. Years of work vindicated. #SaveOurSaferStreets #LTN

Not long until our yearly social / fundraising céilidh! www.tickettailor.com/events/hackn... Dinner and dancing, perfect to chase away the January blues.

Camden leads where Hackney fails. Pembury Junction redesign should have separate cycle track. @hackneylcc.bsky.social gave indicative, fully specced designs. Camden show (at York Way & Agar Grove junction) they know how to build-in safety, whereas Hackney wouldn't. @sarahwoodberrydown.bsky.social

The situation on cycleway 1 at Whitmore Road is just completely unworkable and it is a travesty the Hoxton LTN hasn’t been designed to fix this. There is *far* too much motor traffic for these cycle flows. Someone is going to get hurt. @sarahwoodberrydown.bsky.social @hackneylcc.bsky.social

This ride will be fun for all families who like 🚲 cycling 🍎 apples 🥤 seeing how apple juice is made 🧁 at Ecology Centre Sign up for a super afternoon !👇🏼 @islingtoncleanair.bsky.social @camdencyclists.bsky.social @haringeycyclists.bsky.social @hackneylcc.bsky.social @londoncycling.bsky.social

Last chance to fill in the Hoxton LTN consultation TODAY 14 SEPT. consultation.hackney.gov.uk/streetscene/connecting-hoxton-liveable-neighbourhoods

The very stretch of road @carolinerussell.bsky.social talked about - 1 woman dead, 3 loosing limbs, all just wanting to get about by bike - has been top of our campaigns for YEARS. Nothing being done. @london.gov.uk @islington-council.bsky.social How about it ? youtu.be/qYqxreD6nTo?...

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...

Tonight 7:30pm, and online so you don't even have to venture out to chat about cycling in Hackney.

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...

We'll be holding our regular monthly meeting this Wednesday evening at 7:30pm. It will be online. On the agenda: Shoreditch High St consultation (closes 12/09) Hoxton consultation (closes 14/09) October AGM Kiddical Mass (20/09) Summer changes & progress Rivington St closure on wkends / C13 Storage

All of the planned bus gate + one-way changes for the Chatsworth Rd LN have begun. My favourite bit of it is the western section of Clifden Rd. Its one-way has been reversed (+ has contraflow cycling). @hackneylcc.bsky.social @raynoldchow.bsky.social @edmondchuihw.bsky.social

Fill in the Shoreditch High Street consultation: haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/shoreditch-h... TfL seems unwilling to create proper protected junctions for cycling. Best practices elsewhere in the UK demonstrate an inclusive approach. LCC's detailed response: lcc.org.uk/news/shoredi... Closes 25/09

Latest works on Whiston Rd. Boat Lane junction will be getting raised. @hackneylcc.bsky.social @edmondchuihw.bsky.social @raynoldchow.bsky.social

Closes today: 25 August consultation.hackney.gov.uk/streetscene/...

Hackney Downs Quietway Support new crossings for pedestrians & cyclists to connect London Fields with the Dalston LN. Suggest: - reducing traffic on Navarino Rd - chicanes on cycle tracks from Sigdon Rd/Spurstow Tce are unnecessary consultation.hackney.gov.uk/streetscene/hackney-downs-public-realm-

Consultation to support: the Dalston LN scheme would substantially improve walking & cycling. But, the proposed filters would leave a route open for through-traffic from Cecilla Rd to Montague Rd, and the scheme should be adjusted to address this. consultation.hackney.gov.uk/streetscene/...
