What does Cycling means to me.. • The feeling of being free to go wherever I want • It has given me freedom • Independence • My bike therapy • Peace of mind • Strength — mentally and physically • Escape from stress • Confidence • Adventure • Time to think and reset

Apologies to all of Hannah's customers! Something exciting is happening. Be a part of it ⤵️

What this result signals, like a bell ringing out across the land, is that Britain’s slide towards fascism is NOT in fact inevitable, we CAN still choose a brighter path. Rejoice! All is not lost! ✨💫 Today is a good day 💚

GREENS WIN IN MANCHESTER...!!

Yep. As ever, there's an Andy Singer cartoon that nails this:

"London is statistically very safe for cycling... but there’s still a way to go. “We need more cycle tracks, junction redesigns, crossings, routes through LTNs and more besides if we want more Londoners to switch cars for cycling." Our Head of Campaigns @psimonk.bsky.social quoted: bit.ly/4ryYy8i

A few years ago over 2000 angry people signed a petition against Church Street bus gate. They said nobody agreed, it would hurt small businesses & destroy the high street. www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/2110921... Watch how it turned out here: youtu.be/nLrliKaAjnU?...

C8 westbound at Wandsworth Town is closed to cycling for the next 15months, brought to you by Wandsworth Labour

This Sunday, 22 February, head down to the West End for London's Lunar New Year celebrations 🏮✨ The Trafalgar Square event will bring together communities from across our city for one of the biggest celebrations of LNY outside Asia.

A really good piece from #GCN here and especially the discussions at the end and the final point about needing some visions and plans - that really is the thing lacking in the UK. youtu.be/y4pO1vS0gkc?...

IKEA Croydon has loads of space for parking right by the store entrance. Except they didn't put it there, they put it here in a cramped spot away from the entrance with bolt down hoops.

Loading bays (or busstops?) physical protection for cyclists etc. Good solution + bad solution in 17 seconds:

The opening Voxpop in this video sums the problem up perfectly: "It took us an hour to drive to the chip shop. We could have walked it quicker" youtu.be/y4pO1vS0gkc?...

The new water feature on Balham High Road seems to be made permanent now. It looks great when the sun is shining ☀️ It is part of a series of similar water features that have appeared across the boroughs. Thanks to TfL and Wandsworth Council 🌊🚧

Take a tour of the new cycle parking below Berlin's Potsdamer Platz. Designed for utility, sport, electric and cargo bikes, it enables a smooth transition to public transport, while taking a disused and uncomfortable private retail corridor and reimagining it as a safe and inviting community space.

One cycle lane, two types of loading bays The first one allows for physical protection and even a truck does not impact any traffic The second one is lazy design, incompatible with wand protection and blocks the whole lane when in use Good design matters! 📍CS7 through Balham

An interesting and relevant analysis of the Liveable Neighbourhood Projects in Bristol youtu.be/y4pO1vS0gkc?... The next six months is going to be very interesting.

The Queenstown Road cycle infrastructure is progressing well - more of this please!

⛅ With the weather threatening to start improving, it might soon be time to get the kids bikes out again... With that in mind, here's a good refresher from The Eager Cyclist, on how to cycle safely with them 👉 youtu.be/lU0i8KIAFJg?...

Victoria Embankment this morning. Why should hard working cyclists taxes go on these wide car lanes when motorists don't bother using them?

Yes this is a boring photo of asphalt at Fishponds Fields but thanks to a grant from Wandsworth Council it will soon be transformed into a thriving community garden. Email us if you’d like to get involved [email protected] @tootingnewsie.bsky.social #tooting #communitygarden

NEW: Have your say on DEFRA’s solid fuel burning consultation. If you're affected by #WoodBurning, this is a critical moment to get your views across to the government. We've created some guidance to help you respond - the deadline is 19th March. Please share far and wide! #AirPollution #Health

Hackney people - we need your help! Organised groups are trying to undermine safer streets in Hackney & some Cllrs are getting cold feet. Please join Low Traffic Hackney here & follow our accounts to build support for real change. www.lowtraffichackney.org/join-us.html

Looking for something to do this half-term? Then come along to one of our inclusive cycle sessions at the Ladywell Centre in Lewisham. Open to Disabled people of all ages and impairments, the sessions take place on Fridays at 10:30am, 11:30am or 12:30pm.

How long should it take to cross a junction? In suburban London it can take a while, like crossing the junction of Christchurch Road and Merantum Way to walk between two neighbouring shopping centres. Is it acceptable to let pedestrians wait this long? @londonls.bsky.social @willnorman.co.uk

Interesting. Cast iron with two concrete pillars added by the GLC in the 70s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_... And likely super complicated to repair. Bridges and flyovers getting a bit tired may be the nudge the Mayor needed to get him urgently reducing traffic in London?

A bollard so important, it got some support 📍Tooting Bec Station @worldbollardassoc.bsky.social @wandsworthls.bsky.social

Good morning, nearly everyone! “You have a car lobby who are hiding behind buses and ambulances. It’s an easy thing to hide behind but what’s behind the ambulance? It’s a Range Rover.” Where this article fails is in reporting Fleur’s fictitious claims about ‘impacts on Putney’ unchallenged

Brand new parallel crossing of Burntwood Lane 🚲🚶‍♀️ (maybe even the first in Wandsworth?) This crossing is a small win within a road redesign that is an overall disappointment. It allows easier access to the new Springfield park coming from Earlsfield. 1/2

Over 8 million ‼️ e-bike hire journeys annually are made in Wandsworth 🚲🎉 We welcome this growing demand for cycling and are pleased the council provides dedicated parking bays in busy town centres. It’s a far more efficient use of kerb space and road space, cutting congestion and pollution 💚

This is another reason measures to reduce traffic are so urgently needed. Everything helps - pedestrian crossings, bike lanes, 20mph limits, clean air zones, congestion zones, investment in new public transport options, parking control, liveable neighbourhoods and car clubs. Let’s do it all.

Big polluters, climate deniers, and oil and gas interests have donated millions to Reform. Why? Because they trust them. But we don't. The Green Party is taking on Reform and their corporate backers - because we know whose interests they serve. Are you with us?

Thank you to everyone who attended the Vigil for Irene Leardini this evening. Good to see members of the press, Lewisham Council and our local MP attend. We'll be writing to TfL to try to engage in some sort of dialogue about the A2. Hopefully we won't have to do this again.
