You love to see it. New separated cycle lanes are being built on Clerkenwell Rd. More cyclists = more room for drivers = less congestion

Never seen congestion in a bike lane; it's purely a car/inefficiency thing.

Another central London street transformed with a filter and added gardens, preventing rat-running, noise, and danger. Chef’s kiss, London. Thank you, Camden Council, don't stop.

More good news today, if you can believe it! The picture in the thumbnail below is one of the multi-million £ public realm improvements which Lutfur Rahman wanted to rip out to turn this street back into a traffic sewer. Utterly unhinged stuff, much schadenfraude at his ignominious defeat today 🥳

A cold, wet morning commute in London highlights the tipping point for more separated cycle infrastructure. Theobald's Road and Clerkenwell Road have long been in desperate need of a dedicated cycle lane. A dozen cyclists = more space for drivers.

'But I once saw a cyclist run a red light' www.theguardian.com/money/2026/j...

Hackney Council's traffic calming on Downham Rd when you water down your design to appease drivers is working well 🤦

When you get rid of cars, the noise, the danger and pollution they bring, then add gardens, seating, cycle lanes and public space, no one ever wants it to return to its previous incarnation. Keep going London. Bayley St, Bloomsbury

‘No one cycles in the winter’ London 👇 ( nearly 1200 cycles on a Sunday before 9am ) @cs3cs6count.bsky.social

The best kind of induced demand. Still waiting for drivers to cotton on that more cycle lanes lead to more cyclists, which means fewer cars for them to deal with.

If you choose to drive your space-inefficient private vehicle into an already crowded city with a road system designed before the advent of cars, when excellent public transport is available, you forfeit your right to complain about gridlock, traffic, and congestion.

In the 2 months since the counter was reset, nearly 650,000 cycling journeys along here, averaging about 9,700 trips a day. Cycling has increased by 12% since last year, 1,500,000 daily journeys, a 43% rise from 2019. Those who complain about congestion are the ones driving

8am, 1 degree C, one of London's finest LTNs and people still cycle. Provide people with safe routes, and they will cycle throughout the year. Shout out to the cyclists in shorts

Something has to give if successive governments have not increased fuel duty since 2011, continually subsidise driving, and you need to fill a financial black hole. Pay-per-mile is the answer

Nearly 600,000 cycle journeys in less than 2 months since the counter was reset, averaging about 9,700 trips per day. This number surpasses all motor traffic. This week has seen freezing temperatures, but that hasn't deterred cyclists. They are a hardy bunch @cs3cs6count.bsky.social

Since the counter was fixed, well over half a million cycle journeys have been made in less than two months. At peak times, records show that rush hour traffic consists of 250 motor vehicles ph in the am & 350 in the pm, considerably less than the number of bikes. Time for another cycle lane

Just an average day in Soho, Berwick St, among its famous food stalls. Remember, the residents and the Soho Society prefer traffic and cars over pedestrianisation and al fresco dining @mayoroflondon.bsky.social

Before smartphones, many Londoners would have an A-Z handy to navigate London, first published in 1936. It's good to see Central London, A to Z style, on the panniers of a London Ambulance E-Bike. The bicycle is still the quickest way to get to someone in Central London after all these years

Everything about driving is heavily subsidised to maintain your car dependency. This is a start

I've waited a lifetime for a safe, separated cycle lane on Theobalds Road to protect me from impatient drivers. Cyclists outnumber motorised vehicles on this stretch of road, so it's only fair that the balance shifts toward more efficient modes of transport. Well done, Camden Council

8 a.m. this morning on a very chilly but beautiful day, a month since the counter was fixed, 339,000+ journeys by bicycle in one month. Imagine if they were car journeys; cycle lanes benefit everyone. @cs3cs6count.bsky.social

Happy new LTN week to those who celebrate. In a borough with the lowest car ownership per household in London (26%), drivers are still frothing at the consequences of their own actions: driving. It's no longer just about you.

Regardless of whether the average speed in central London is between 8.7 mph and 7.1 mph, there will still be someone who complains about the new markings at St John Street, Smithfield, part of the transformation to make it more pedestrian and cycle-friendly

Stupid-sized cars need stupid-sized taxation www.uknip.co.uk/news/uk/uk-n...

At 9am this week, another 80,000+ bike journeys along the Embankment. To put this in perspective, there are more bike journeys per hour in this 1 lane than there are in the 4 motor vehicle lanes on the same route. If you want to get cities moving, build more cycle lanes @cs3cs6count.bsky.social

Here are 10 cyclists taking up the space of approximately one car. In London, 60% of car trips are single-occupant Cycle lanes and cyclists don't cause congestion; cars do

Last week, over 85,000 cycle journeys were recorded along the Embankment, ≈ 500 + journeys ph. Peak hours show ≈ 250 motor vehicles AM and ≈ 350 PM, significantly fewer than the number of cyclists. Time to add another cycle lane for more efficient transport @willnorman.co.uk @london.gov.uk

Should be 200,000+ cycle journeys today in 2.5 weeks on the Embankment since the counter was fixed on the 24th of September. Chefs kiss London. @cs3cs6count.bsky.social

It's impressive how quickly Paris has transformed car-dominant roads, prioritising more efficient modes of transportation. One lane for drivers on the right side, made to wallow in their own stop-and-start inefficiency, two giant lanes for bikes.

80000+ cycle journeys in Autumnal weather this week along the Embankment. Tell me cycling is not popular in London. The counter was fixed last week @cs3cs6count.bsky.social

After not working for three months, it's been fixed in the last few days. London was well on its way to passing 3 million cycle journeys on this route, a new record, but I guess we will never know now. Until next year, then @cs3cs6count.bsky.social

There is still a group of Nimbys and taxi drivers who prefer this to the pedestrianisation of Oxford Street, thinking retail will close & crowds disappear. If only Oxford St had at least 6 Tube lines and several stations within walking distance, connecting all of London, then maybe, this might work

'Another driver paid almost £17,000 to clear 46 warrants' £575 or £17000? The driver chose the latter. Stupid does as stupid is

Saving lives and preventing injury should always take priority over drivers' convenience.

Can't come soon enough. 'The Transport & Environment thinktank has urged the government to use the autumn budget to bring in a levy on the largest vehicles, which it said would reflect the damage they caused to the environment and infrastructure.'

Roads busier this morning in London? The school run is back. The school run accounts for nearly 30% of morning traffic in London ( 43% in Tower Hamlets) You may well ask ‘How am I supposed to do the school run with 4 kids without an SUV ?’ Tell me they're not having fun 👇

Waiting for that tipping point when most sensible people realise that transporting a single 80kg person in 2.5 tonnes of SUV was not the height of technical advancement but peak stupidity for the human race. Tax SUVs out of existence

And it's Hackney local derivative... 'There was never any traffic on Graham Road before LTNs' Graham Road anti traffic protests, 1980s

'There was never any traffic in London before Sadiq Khan and those cycle lanes, it's all manufactured' London, 1952 and 1926

When you need to get somewhere quickly in a city, biking is always the best option. Chapeau London Ambulance E-Bikes

Watched a while ago and really enjoyed it. Getting from A to B doesn’t have to be soul-destroying, stuck in a prison of your own choosing. It can be wind-in-the-hair enjoyable. People look upon bicycles as childish, toy-like. Duh, yeah - toys are fun - being a kid again is fun - hence biking is fun!

I'll tell you what an eyesore is: limitless and subsidised on-street parking for cars www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Just to be clear, your driving habit is heavily subsidised. More so for the 46% of London households and the 22% of UK households that don’t own a car. For every mile driven, taxpayers subsidise 21p outside London, up to £1 inside. Raise Fuel Duty

I love the Strand Aldwych. It used to be four lanes of traffic that cut off St. Mary le Strand Church, but now it's a space for people and plants. Once these changes are made in cities, no one ever wants to revert to the way things were. ♥️ London

7:30 AM, Soho, London. If there was ever any question about the fastest way to get from A to B in the middle of a vast city, these incredible men and women demonstrate the answer. ❤️ London Ambulance

Saving lives should always take precedence over the convenience of drivers.

Don't ever tell me that removing on-street parking is bad for business. Pub petanque London

'That annoying Beep Beep Beep is the ire of many city dwellers' I'll tell you what is annoying: the 7,500 hit-and-runs by cars recorded annually in London. This trumps my concerns about the sounds made by bikes used by kids who lack access to bikes.

Fuel duty has been frozen since 2010, and you can now receive £3,750 off a new electric vehicle courtesy of the government. Drivers have never had it so good.

LTNs aim to reduce the impact of vehicles in London. The steady increase in both the number and size of cars is unsustainable. LTNs work www.standard.co.uk/comment/ltns...
