Drivers and cyclists, please don’t overtake people who have stopped for a zebra crossing. It’s often not even saving you any time to rush through…

X's AI chatbot Grok appears to be making sex abuse images of women and children - and Elon Musk thinks he can get away with letting it! I’m calling for a full ban on X here in the UK and you should too - add your name to the petition now: 38d.gs/ban_x_df

Message to Trump (and Musk)… London’s homicide rate is lower than other UK cities and below many other global cities, including New York, Berlin, Milan and Toronto. People can say a lot about safety in London, but the fact is: homicide levels are at record lows. And violence continues to fall.

Renee Nicole Good was murdered in cold blood by an ICE agent in the US. Her death is the latest atrocity in Trump’s terror campaign. Kemi & Farage want to spend billions to replicate these horrors here — to tear our country apart. We cannot let them. The Green Party never will.

Labour politicians in Wandsworth are out of control with their quite deliberate spreading of misinformation about Hammersmith Bridge. It is time for them to accept it will never open to cars again and start working on solutions to traffic problems in Putney. Try some cycle lanes and LTNs.

First signs of the protected cycle lane coming to Streatham Hill on the A23. Can’t wait 😊 @lambethcyclists.bsky.social @rezinachowdhury.bsky.social @willnorman.co.uk @london.gov.uk @heartstreatham.bsky.social @lambethgreenparty.bsky.social

There is abundant air pollution data from multiple AQ monitors across the area, all of which shows a dramatic improvement since HB closed to motor traffic eg

A PSA for the benefit of west Londoners regarding the latest steaming horseshit to emanate from Wandsworth council and Putney MP Fleur Anderson regarding Hammersmith Bridge, by which I specifically mean their claim, that traffic is up 25% on Putney Bridge since HB closed in April 2019

Christmas Trees 😤

Read my 2025 New Infrastructure Review, where I look at the last year of cycleway and healthy streets delivery in London: safecycleldn.com/2026/01/02/2...

Every year, people mock this tree. But I love it anyway. It reminds us that if we stand together in tough times, we can overcome anything. Merry Christmas from my family to yours. 🎄✨

Living in South West London...?? Now is the time get behind @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the @greenparty.org.uk but most of all start locally with @greenwandsworth.bsky.social

I spoke to the most excellent @jim.londoncentric.media about being fined in a park for cycling 4mph over a notional speed limit. The parks police told me there had been complaints from dog walkers about speedy cyclists. Turns out this was untrue. www.londoncentric.media/p/speed-came...

Well done to local volunteers in Islington for this fantastic, inclusive initiative. Every child deserves the chance to cycle! www.islingtontribune.co.uk/article/bike...

Not everything is terrible! 🤩

This is a new “walking & cycling corridor” in Wandsworth #BurntwoodLane. Vehicle speeds will have gone up, pedestrian crossing distance have increased, and the only cycle lane along most of its length seem to be a painted white lane. WBC used up so much energy of local advocacy groups for this

The purpose of consultations is to make schemes better. Consultations should not be used to water down schemes & increase road danger for everyone, just because of ill founded concerns about “parking loss”

I’d much prefer the e-mobility service in the front: environmentally friendly, human scale and it does does not support fascism

On what should be a day of joy and light for Jewish communities around the world, I am appalled by the scenes from Bondi today. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with the families affected.

I'm on my way to a Chanukah event. It should be a celebration but instead our community is once again mourning. I will be thinking of everyone in Australia and those around the world in the Jewish Community who know this fear and loss. We stand with you.

Tooting Bec Road 😞 Thoughts with the child, her family and friends, and thanks to the emergency services. @willnorman #VisionZero

Going to the West End is a great reminder of how much people love car-free streets ❤️

Isn't it crazy when positive change seems possible!? 😀🤪🙌 Londoners have cycled & manifested HARD & @CityWestminster are delivering! Latest eg: the brand new Bayswater Road consultation, with kerbed protection for a vital East-West corridor. Full details & cyclist testimony⬇️

#TfL's annual Travel in London report was quietly released last week (lots of PDFs at tfl.gov.uk/corporate/pu...) > cycling stage numbers up post-pandemic to 1.5+million/day > At least 1 in 10 journeys are by hire bike > Silvertown shuttle bus averages 127 users/day

The quality of some Lime bikes is pretty bad 😮

We can't wait for the Rosendale Cycle Lane extension 🎉 And not just for these cyclists heading to school - there will be several new safe pedestrian crossing points too 🚸 So excited! 🙌 @rezinachowdhury.bsky.social

🛍️The consultation on the future of Oxford St. is open, and whilst we're supportive, there's a problem... what about cycling?! 📢 We're calling on TfL and @citywestminster.bsky.social to commit to safe, alternative cycle routes - and we need your support to do so: lcc.org.uk/news/oxford-...

UK households cut spending at fastest pace in 5 years. Average real wage stuck at 2008 level. Energy, water, broadband, rents, grocery, dentist, vets prices rising at more than CPI. Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%. Can't rebuild without redistribution.

This should be standard in London, unfortunately it isn’t. Thanks to Lambeth’s LTNs and traffic filters, me and this family can safely bring their children to school and nursery @rezinachowdhury.bsky.social @lambethgreenparty.bsky.social @lambethcyclists.bsky.social @lambethlivingst.bsky.social

Another reason why cycle lanes need physical protection: driver entitlement (3x) Probably the same people who will claim that cyclists don’t follow the Highway Code? 📍C18, Deptford Church Street,

Putney MP Fleur Anderson INSISTS that their traffic problems cannot be solved without reopening Hammersmith Bridge to cars. But this FOI request to TfL for comms b/w them & Wandsworth Council abt these problems discloses 138 pages of docs, in which there is not 1 single mention of Hammersmith Bridge

Maybe it’s time for Putney’s politicians to grow up, find some political courage and own some more reality-based traffic reduction solutions for their blighted town centre - even if car drivists do wail and gnash their teeth about them?

Die USA beschließen, dass es jetzt offizielle Aufgabe der nationalen Sicherheit ist, Europa zum Faschismus zu bringen. Das hat reihenweise Auswirkungen für uns. Darauf, welche Ziele US-Geheimdienste verfolgen, US-Außenpolitik, US-Finanzierung von Parteien, wie US-Unternehmen agieren, Rechte usw.

Happy 30th birthday to The Early Pregnancy Unit at Tooting's St George's, who recently celebrated with a visit from the midwife who set it up in 1995! More info via St George's: www.stgeorges.nhs.uk/service/mate...

Why in 2025, with all that we know about designing safer junctions, are councils like Haringey still building roads with huge flared turns, and low paving, thus encourages speeding? @mikehakata.bsky.social, there's little point painting bicycles on the road when this is happening!

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

In the Netherlands, where the Dutch invest in safe cycling, the over-65s cycle around a quarter of their journeys, while the over-80s cycle around 10% of theirs. Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and cycle lanes don't 'restrict freedom', they expand it.

Here’s why we always have to lock the frame AND the wheel to a fixed object. Not just the wheel 😔 Unfortunately anything that’s not locked will eventually be stolen

Obsessive 'gender critical' transphobes have been gunning for Girl Guiding for YEARS! 😣 They are just nasty little bigots pushing their own brand of cruelty and exclusion and directly hurting a handful of trans girls! A mum of a trans girl wrote this 8 years ago when they started their campaign...

Year on year we know where the next collision killing or severely injuring road users will happen yet nothing changes. If you live in London, please use this LCC action to write to the Mayor of London calling for action

Important local update for walkers and nature lovers on Putney Heath 👣🌿 I wanted to share details of the Wimbledon & Putney Commons Christmas Appeal, which aims to upgrade several of the paths on Putney Heath, making them more accessible, less muddy and safer for walkers

Why is Wandsworth left behind? We need safe cycle spaces too! @london.gov.uk @wandsworthcycling.bsky.social

We kept the receipts. These comments, taken together, paint a picture of the man he is today.

In yet another blow for opponents of active travel schemes who claim - almost always without any evidence - that they impede blue light services, a new report finds the majority of Limerick’s protected cycle lanes do not impede ambulances, and in fact some improve access. road.cc/content/news...
