Cycling from central london to Richmond with a few cycling pals for the summer solstice - great views over to Windsor. Not a long ride but such fun

🎆 Happy New Year from everyone at LCC! With the local elections in the Spring, 2026 is going to be a crucial year for London's cycling future. 🙏 Donate today to fund our Streets for Cycling campaign: bit.ly/4rDZ1GJ

“Give way” … one bus equals 80 cars and 80 people (on the back of all the city buses in Baku).

If you only think about car clubs as a way of making money you may conclude they are “an evolutionary dead end”, but if you account for a fraction of the societal good (less congestion/parking stress) of reducing car use and ownership, you might instead conclude the model still has legs?

In 2025, our research, grassroots momentum and city know-how came together 🤝✨ Thanks to our campaigners and the wonderful Clean Cities network, we championed healthy, climate-friendly transport and drove change across Europe 💪 Here's a snapshot of our year 👇 youtu.be/7wy2my0GbO4?si=woVI...

Our Winter Solstice Ride is on Sun Jan 4th, see the details and register here: lcc.org.uk/events/merto...

Devastating.

🙋‍♂️ Already know you'll be cycling more in 2026? Make sure you're setting off for that first ride with an LCC Membership! 🙌 Not only will you be supporting work to make all journeys by bike safer, but you'll also be getting a year of great benefits: bit.ly/3R38Pcd

READ & WATCH: “A new, Dutch-style roundabout, with its own three-minute video tutorial, is set to open in Hertfordshire next week. Ahead of its opening, County Council have produced an animated video which shows how cars, bicycles & pedestrians should use the new road feature correctly.”

🫶 As we come to the end of the year, we wanted to say a big thanks to all our volunteers across London, for their help in 2025! 👋 Want to get involved in making cycling safer where you live? Head to our website for all the details: bit.ly/3Irazv7

Low-Traffic Neighbourhoods: what the latest evidence tells us": behaviour change. 24% said they walk more, 18% said they visit local shops more frequently, and 17% said they had made more use of public transport. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/65f400...

What an inspiring story - chapeau that lad ! We'd love to hear more about this amazing trip- please contact us !🙏🏻 @londoncycling.bsky.social

From the Dutch Cycling Embassy team, thank you for a fantastic year bringing cycling to everyone, everywhere! We're taking a break for the holiday season, and will be back in full swing in the new year to keep building cycling cities around the world. See you in 2026!

Low-Traffic Neighbourhoods: what the latest evidence tells us. Traffic reduction also leads to lower noise levels. Research measuring sound before and after LTNs found that noise generally fell, with residents reporting calmer, more pleasant street environments www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

“In France, where such schemes are funded through local taxes and national legal barriers to building are much lower, things work even better. French cities build transport schemes, with their own money raised through higher local taxes, over twice as quickly and at below half the cost.”

Brilliant and important discussion. Please listen and support their campaign about CWIS3. @bettertransport.bsky.social @cyclinguk.bsky.social @betterstreetsforbirmingham.org @walkwheelcyclet.bsky.social

🎁 24 décembre : joyeux Noël ! Notre dernière idée pour le vélo à Paris : aider Paris en Selle à faire du vélo une évidence 💛 Paris en Selle est une association qui vit du travail de ses bénévoles ! La campagne pour les municipales de 2026 sera une date clé pour l'avenir du vélo à Paris.

Why is the quality of towpaths reliant on charitable donations, when they are key everyday transport routes for thousands of people walking and cycling? They need to be funded properly. Will this change @heidialexander.bsky.social? They shouldn’t be avoided days after rainfall.

What a Christmas present @heidialexander.bsky.social - We look forward to cycling alongside these (not) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Our estimates off DfT data is London's 1.5 million cycled journeys daily now accounts for well over half of all cycle journeys made in England. That's an amazing end-of-year reflection alongside this ace @peterwalker99.bsky.social piece about what London & LCC included is getting so right...

🎄 🎁 We kick off Christmas week with even MORE new cycling infrastructure to celebrate in Newham: the next chunk of Westfield Avenue is surfaced, lined, and opened! And the protected connections to International Way and Olympic Park Ave do not look far behind. Great work @newhamcouncil.bsky.social!

The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

'School streets are putting young people first.' Article by @rachaelswyn.bsky.social in this week's Islington Gazette.

Germany shifts over 2 million e-bikes every year. France: over 500,000. Britain? It will be lucky to get to 150,000. Why? Because people need to feel safe to cycle, and that requires serious and sustained government support, which has not been forthcoming. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/de...

Get better soon, enjoy a holiday !

📅 It's been a record-breaking year for cycling in London, with the capital showing it's well on its way to becoming a city that runs on two wheels! 🚴 From hitting 1.5 million daily journeys, to the cycle networks expansion, here's our wrap up of 2025: bit.ly/4jgbeh5

In case you missed it earlier. I made a video to celebrate the 10-year-anniversary of this piece of reconstructed canal in Utrecht, the canal that replaced a road! youtu.be/YUilYi1lutY?...

With so much good work to trumpet @citywestminster.bsky.social was commended by @londoncycling.bsky.social and our own @marksmithies.bsky.social won an award 🎉🥳🙌... We EVEN spotted this CYCLING ELF doing a victory lap in the city! Feels like Christmas has come early - bring on 2026!!!

A new World Bank report calls on governments to create dedicated Livable Streets Investment Programs, steadily scaling funding to 10% of road budgets by 2035. Why? Because livable streets deliver some of the highest returns in transport investment—up to €16 per €1 spent: investinlivablestreets.info

LTNs: what the latest evidence tells us: that people living in LTNs reduced the distance they drove by around 6% more than those living outside them. Quieter streets make local journeys feel safer and more appealing on foot or by bike. findingspress.org/article/7547...

Huge thanks & congratulations to our amazing activists who took home two gongs at the @londoncycling.bsky.social Awards last night! And congratulations also to Newham Council on their Honourable Mention for the Active and Inclusive Travel Award - so much progress, albeit with so much still to do. 👏

“Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6km each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, annual carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes. This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.” @euronews.com

We've installed another three new simple zebra crossings, this time near Edgware Road. Without them drivers yield to pedestrians around 40% of the time. With them, it's around 80%. (Based on monitoring results from our first 4 sites)

Cycling and walking could help deliver almost everything Brits say they want to achieve in 2026 — if we design streets to support them. Getting fitter, losing weight, being healthier, saving money; enabling active travel quietly does all of it. With no gym contracts.

LCC awards, 2025 Tuesday 16th December. On a rather Chilly evening who would be mad enough to attend an awards ceremony in central London, it turns out quite a few including a group from KCC rides, to see if our illustrious leader (Me) & Suzanne from the KCC committee would win an award, the…

Good summary of a fascinating evening- thanks to @crisortunity.bsky.social and @christianwolmar.bsky.social ! We've written up a summary in our latest newsletter which was sent out yesterday. Lots of food for thought !
