Westminster's Bayswater Rd scheme would deliver a safer continuous cycling connection linking Cycleways 3 and 27, as well as providing a direct east–west route along the north side of Hyde Park. Last chance to have your say: cmsbayswaterroad.commonplace.is @citywestminster.bsky.social

Done. Get a 🍵 - it will take 10 minutes. Just 10 minutes to make cycling safer for children, women, unconfident or returner riders. Everyone in fact.

Congestion costs £7.5bn a year and c.£17bn is needed to fix the worn out road network. In the last 30 years, the UK population has grown by 19%, but the number of cars has exploded by 56%. Outside of London, 81% of British households own at least one car! theconversation.com/how-the-uks-...

New research, undertaken using methodology developed by Sheffield Hallam University, State of Life, and Manchester Met University, finds the government's £15m ‘Places to Ride’ programme has delivered over £100m in ‘social value’ across the UK, while saving the NHS over £13m. road.cc/content/news...

The school run is the #1 source of school carbon emissions, outweighing heating and electricity, according to a new report from Eco Schools and @keepbritaintidy.bsky.social 💨🌿 Walking and wheeling to school reduces pollution and cuts down on chaos at the school gates - it's a win-win!

Reported this on FixMyStreet. They replied saying it's already been cleared. I went by to check and it hasn't. There are at least 5 patches of broken glass in the centre of the road. Quit gaslighting us!!

The Court of Appeal's judgement stopping Tower Hamlets from ripping out safety infrastructure is good news for Londoners. It's good for road safety & reducing danger. It's good for air quality, good for health, and good for communities across the capital. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

Thoughts with family & friends. 39 year old woman killed cycling, New Cross Road ~8:30pm last night. www.mylondon.news/news/south-l... Lorry driver "arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving". Info/footage: "call 101 quoting CAD 6839/20Jan" @lewishamcyclists.bsky.social 1/3

⚠️ 🚴‍♀️ Known once as the most dangerous bridge for cycling in London, Lambeth Bridge has undergone a major redesign over the last year, but is it any safer to cycle over? We went down on Monday morning to check it out and see just what's changed... 👀

I see the DfT is back to its usual tricks of claiming nice carriageways are good for cyclists.* And with with British Cycling enabling them. *Yes, I know who campaigned for better roads back in the day. A smooth A-road is still not suitable for most people to feel safe being there. #Arsebook

Broken glass on Melbourne Rd, centrally, at frequent (10m) intervals. Looks deliberate. Take care!

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

I do like this little scheme on Bayley St - just off Tottenham Court Rd. This was a signal controlled junction from a one-way street, contraflow cycling was added & then the junction filtered with a cycle track. Now it's a bike lane & a new public space with SuDS. 🚲☔️☘️💚

The Cowley Low Traffic Neighbourhoods have saved 30 collisions over 3 years within the LTNs and boundary roads according to latest casualty data, analysed by @cohsat.bsky.social The Cowley LTNs were implemented in April 2021, after sporadic coronavirus lockdowns between March 2020 and March 2021.

Strange how the anti-cycle lane bus huggers never mention how often London's buses are delayed and diverted by badly parked and crashed cars

Driving is a privilege, earned through assessment and retained via acceptable standards. Why should such people ever be allowed to lawfully drive again and share the road with victims? We would never return a firearms licence to someone who unlawfully used a gun to kill. Why is driving different?

📣 Parents. If cars make your walk or cycle to school feel unsafe, that's not okay. Take action! 📷 We need your photos of the school run. The more people see how unsafe and unhealthy it is for our children - the more power we have. DM your #schoolrun photos or tag us in a post. #streetsforkids

More of London's roads will have safer speed limits because there's irrefutable evidence it save lives: 📉 25% fewer main road collisions 📉 34% fewer people killed or serious injured on local roads 📉75% fall in children killed on local roads @itvnews.bsky.social itv.com/news/london/...

Local tories out leafleting in Hammersmith. You can see their dazzling election pitch on the leaflet, which can be summarized as: DEATH TO CYCLISTS

In China, driverless delivery vans have become a total meme, they plow through crumbling roads, fresh concrete, motorcycles, anything. Nothing stops them. #cdnpoli

Superb and absolutely damning long read on HS2. www.ft.com/content/3f73... How the UK ended up building the world’s most expensive railway

In 2024, more than 1,600 people died on UK roads. Yet a major new road safety strategy has passed largely unnoticed. This reflects media acceptance of road danger and a societal complacency—an “it won’t happen to me” mindset. Sadly, it can, and by then it is too late. How do we change this?

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

It is a political decision of the courts to remand protestors to prison who are facing charges of criminal damage, allowing them to spend more than a year in custody when they probably wouldn’t get that as a sentence and when violent prisoners are being released early.

DfT press release on footway parking. They've bottled a national ban and so will rely on local action with new powers (which are not explained, but area-based). A postcode lottery as now then? I await actual details. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Thanks for sharing Will! We're a charity based in London supporting ex-offenders into work through bike mechanic training to break the cycle of reoffending. To find out more, visit our new servicing workshop on Blackfriars Rd, Southwark, or check us out online. xobikes.com #Cycling #London

This finding of "hidden" public support for green policies strongly echoes our work on pluralistic ignorance when it comes to non-car travel: most people support non-car travel more than car travel, but at the same time they believe this is a minority view

With regret we're going to CANCEL our ride on Sun 4th Jan, due to adverse weather conditions (sub-zero temperatures expected).

🎆 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

"Oxford's High Street booming, bucking national trend" And this in a city where we've removed city centre parking and put in a congestion charge. Almost as if it's people who shop, not cars. www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2573227...

Three of the top five British grid electricity records smashed in 2025! This is a huge success story, despite what Russian bots and U.S fossil fuel shills scream on X. Every unit of clean domestic energy we produce means a safer future for our children…🥳

The next time there's a fight over reclaiming space from cars, one thing that gives me hope is that we will have a new mayor who will point to what happened with congestion pricing — and Citi Bike, 14th Street, etc. — and tell the naysayers that they are almost always wrong.

Kids these days.

😍 Simply stumbled upon this city as I’m heading to the coast. Turns out to be a poster child for “if you build it they will come in extreme numbers”. 6,000 📈70,000 for all ages and abilities in 2015. Further reading 👇https://t.co/RDwtKL1EyZ

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...

"The League of American Bicyclists, working with the mircromobility outfit Lime, recently reported a whopping 207-percent increase in shared bike and scooter trips along corridors where the city of Baltimore had installed new protected bike lanes."

Yet airport expansion, Lower Thames Crossing, A66 dualling, other roads projects go ahead. Sutton tramlink extension ROI massive yet project is moribund. Meanwhile France has built trams in every major town over ~20yrs. UK doesn't have a sustainable transport policy.

When British Cycling declared their “official” definition of a woman, several cycling clubs stated their own position ICC, who I’m part of, created a joint statement with Velociposse, to say that everyone is welcome I’ve a similar statement on my website www.hackneybike.fit/diversity-va...

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.

All London boroughs urged to adopt Westminster council initiative and drive down number of road casualties

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)

🙌 At LCC, we believe cycling should be safe and fun for everyone - but right now, in many parts of London, this is far from reality... 🗳️ Which is why, in 2026, we'll be pushing local election candidates to support cycle network expansion - and you can help by donating today: bit.ly/4rDZ1GJ

Big thanks to the TfL teams, working with in partnership with @maxsullivan.bsky.social and team @CityWestminster, to deliver this important new crossing on Cycleway 51 St John’s Wood Road & Hamilton Terrace.

Great to see the London Assembly Transport Committee report published today. Clear, unobstructed pavements are crucial in encouraging walking, and we'd love to see more on other impacts on walkability - such as traffic volume, safe speeds and crossings. https://bitly.livingstreets.org.uk/4s3V1zt

Beeline in New Malden has been flooded for weeks. Council has finally responded - not by fixing the problem but by putting up a forest of contradictory notices and advising cyclists to dismount on a path that is wide enough for shared use. (Photo taken Monday, no evidence of progress today...)
