With the number of cycle trips in London soaring, we need to do even more to keep our roads safe for everyone. Great to see the new bike lanes being built near Royal Docks and London's Excel Centre this morning.

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 💚

LAST CHANCE to support safe protected cycle tracks on Bayswater Road! ⏰️ Consultation closes Wed 4 February - have your say now 👇️

It's been a busy weekend at Hammersmith Bridge. We were delighted to be joined by so many wanting to share how well the bridge works without cars. (Image by Paul James - many more excellent ones here: photography.paulrichardjames.net/Collections/...)

Hammersmith bridge is open! This weekend we joined @richmondcycling.bsky.social and residents to call for a car-free Hammersmith bridge, prioritising people, bikes, and public transport, not private cars. Read the facts about the bridge here: richmondcycling.org.uk/hammersmith-...

New riders welcome for 2026! 🚴 The #Balham Cycling Club, founded in 1897, holds social rides on the 3rd Sunday of each month with five different pace groups and ride leaders – and they're welcoming new riders! For more information, visit www.balhamcc.com #Tooting

Keep Hammersmith Bridge car-free ⛔🚲 There have been rumblings of a move to allow cars back on Hammersmith Bridge, (a terrible idea) - so we need to remind folks just how much support there is to keep it car-free! 👋 Come down to the bridge on Saturday and show support: bit.ly/4b9o6DR

Why put in covered, visitor cycle parking when you can shove it round the side and make it less accessible. #taylorwimpey #bendonvalley #sw18 @lastnotlost.bsky.social @wandsworthcycling.bsky.social @wandsworthls.bsky.social @wandsworthlabour.bsky.social

Save the date! 24th January. 1130 for Midday We'll be joining others who love walking and cycling on Hammersmith Bridge to come along and show that we love it!

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

The junction between Lytton Grove and West Hill in Putney is now 9th in the LCC most dangerous junctions list after a serious incident last year and numerous near-misses over the years - but Wandsworth Council has not acted to improve it. Call on the mayor to take action: action.lcc.org.uk/junctions

Fascinating read showing how #motonormativity constrains thinking on #HammersmithBridge Of interest to @wandsworthcycling.bsky.social #TrafficEvaporation #ModeShift

This is my daily commute and absolutely the worst part of it

I met residents at this junction just last month to see how bad it is for walking and cycling: bsky.app/profile/caro.... They told me that TfL and Wandsworth Council have done nothing for three years to make it safer. ❓ will this junction still be the most dangerous in London in 12 months time.

Today @londoncycling.bsky.social updated their most dangerous junctions. Once again, Upper Tooting Road is on top of the list. Our coordinator explains why the junction still has not been fixed ‼️ 🧑‍💻 Email the mayor and demand action: bit.ly/47QcmUF

We should expect far better than this @wandsworthcycling.bsky.social

Or to put it another way, half a car parking space takes six secure bicycle parking spaces HT @humantravl.bsky.social @wandsworthcycling.bsky.social

Sadly Fleur is continuing to deliberately mislead Putney residents by claiming that the closure of Hammersmith Bridge to cars is increasing traffic in Putney. The reality is that traffic is down on all surrounding bridges since the closure of Hammersmith Bridge. Trust in politics 🧐

www.gov.uk/government/p... Active Travel England’s route check tool identifies 16 critical safety issues for walking, wheeling and cycling - with illustrations. It provides links to relevant guidance and key evidence. There is also a route check tool to identify and remove these risks.

“Why don’t more children cycle?” #southside #garrattlane @wandsworthcycling.bsky.social @wandsworthlabour.bsky.social @jackmayorcas.bsky.social

Great to see the work progressing on Streatham Hill. The A23 here has a terrible safety record. Tragically, 3 people have been killed in the area. There've been over 70 collisions in last 3 yrs. This scheme will make it safer for everyone with new bike lanes & ped crossings.

Blaming everything except Wandsworth councillors who won't work to remove private traffic. www.mylondon.news/news/south-l...

World Menopause Day 2025!💛 Cycling through Menopause🚴🏾‍♀️ This year marks 11 years since I was diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) which is sometimes referred to as premature menopause. My journey started at 25! It’s been a long road - but I’m still riding strong.

The Thames Path is one of the main traffic-free routes in Wandsworth, supporting school children, commuters, weekend rides and many more journeys Where it doesn’t follow the Thames, cyclists have to mix with traffic, e.g. in Putney. Recent changes made the journey safer, have a look for yourself

Another busy and rewarding week up and around London, teaming up with safer streets campaigners, TfL workers, and more.   Check out what I’ve been up to this week! 👇

Massive thanks to @wandsworthcycling.bsky.social for showing me the problem of traffic cutting across Upper Tooting Rd from side street to side street, barging in front of people crossing the road and bullying people riding bikes along CS7 out of the way. My heart was in my mouth 🫣

Had a fun couple of hours out of the office today. #HammersmithBridge

Join us for the LCC Women's Network Family Ride 💚 We have a feeder ride from Wandsworth Common. 🗓️ Meet us at the Skylark Cafe at 10:45am on Sunday October 26. lcc.org.uk/events/wands...

Hammersmith bridge is open to pedestrians and cyclists, boosting sustainable cross-river traffic. One of the excellent routes it enables is featured in Jon Stone’s latest video on his 'London Cycle Routes' YouTube channel: Hammersmith to Roehampton in Wandsworth. youtu.be/GRAk1bSHlgU

Look how wonderful Low Traffic Neighborhoods can be! This is the Van Gogh Walk in Lambeth, London. This street is decades old but built for people first yet still has access for last block travel & emergency vehicles! @openplans.org @nyc.streetsblog.org @thewaroncars.bsky.social @nycdot.bsky.social

🙌 In partnership with Forest Bikes, the LCC Women's Network invites you to join their family ride this October! Perfect for all ages, a great atmosphere is always guaranteed, so register today: bit.ly/4nZKMcE

This is not a continuous pavement. This is a standard side junction with a raised table #BurntwoodLane @wandsworthls.bsky.social @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social @willnorman.co.uk

Duff Wandsworth cycling infrastructure, an occasional series. Wandsworth Common West Side, the road on the right, is one way against you here, likewise the slip up from Trinity Road to the left. Where am I meant to go when the pavement ends? @wandsworthcycling.bsky.social @willnorman.co.uk

Cycling to work is one of the best ways of creating a healthier lifestyle. The health benefits of cycling outweigh the risk from accidents by a factor of at least 20 to 1. Take a look at our guide to find out more: www.haveringcyclists.org/cycling-to-w...

Issue here is, as is often case, not just distracted driver but dangerous conditions for cycling on Battersea Bridge. Rather than blame dos Santos or cyclists, judge should blame TfL, @rbkc.gov.uk & Wandsworth for inaction that means 1000s cyclists who use bridge daily face dangerous conditions. 4/4

Bianca Dos Santos was crushed by a lorry crossing the notorious Battersea Bridge in August 2023. Two years later, in sentencing the driver, the presiding judge has said she "contributed to her own death": www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/news/2544526... LCC's Women's Network responds... 1/4

Verdict after a young woman's life was cut tragically short by a 'distracted' driver on Battersea Bridge and she 'contributed to her own death'. Judge Peter Lodder look in a mirror🧵 youtu.be/mnRRErh9sx0?... @london.gov.uk @londoncycling.bsky.social @rbkc.gov.uk @wandsworthcycling.bsky.social

Remembering Bianca Dos Santos #Battersea Sadly, TfL have chosen not to make Battersea Bridge safer for people cycling. @marshadecordova.bsky.social @wandsworthcycling.bsky.social @willnorman.co.uk #Choices

Wandsworth has plenty space for cars, none for people on bikes. @wandsworthcycling.bsky.social @willnorman.co.uk

Hundreds of school children use the shared path in Tooting Common to walk and cycle to school... and then have to navigate this busy roundabout. Furzedown Healthy Streets have started a petition to make their school journey safer! Sign until 15 September: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Lambeth Car Free Day/ Kidical Mass Autumn! Sat 20th Sept-11am😍 Look back at 2024👏 We have another great ride in 2025 🤩 Thanks @cyclehoop & @lambeth_council for supporting 🙏 Link in bio 🚴‍♀️👆#cyclingcommunity #carfree #lambeth #cycling #cyclinglife #ibikelondon #london

The bike lane infrastructure in Paris was amazing. I couldn’t get over how many cycle lanes there were. The city is incredibly bike-friendly, with countless protected paths that are fully separated from cars and traffic, making it safe and enjoyable to get around on two wheels.
