And the piece in the Ham and High came out on 28th May. You can read it here: www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/2613678... Here’s to a bright future for Haringey - with safe routes for cycling, and full bike racks! @haringeycyclists.bsky.social @rustytrike.bsky.social 11/11

Sad to see anti-cycling campaigners Vincent Stops & John Stewart accusing us of some sort of cover up. We've been clear. Falling cycle deaths is good news, but rising numbers of serious injuries shows we've much more to do. Hence our new Vision Zero plan - inc more bike lanes.

we have been calling for for so long. The piece on our website is here: haringeycyclists.org/news/campaig... 10/11

the station and two are just around the corner. They are all jam packed. This shows so clearly what we know to be true – that a lot of Haringey just isn’t a safe and hospitable environment for those on a bike. We hope that this council will begin to deliver the change … 9/11

pointed out these bike racks at Turnpike Lane station. Four big racks that can each house atleast 8 bikes had just 3 bikes across all four of them. Compare that to the bike racks in Highbury, below, which Ben photographed and are packed with bikes. One is outside … /8

“The most effective approach is to build a network and to build it as quickly as possible. But it’s worth emphasizing bike lanes alone do not make a network. In the Netherlands up to two thirds of the network is in mixed, low-traffic conditions, where the bike is the dominant mode.” bit.ly/4fskIGm

World Bicycle Day is on Wednesday 3rd June - a great excuse to pop out for a quick ride. Happy cycling! #worldbicycleday🚴🏻‍♂️🌎 #haringey #londoncycling @londoncycling.bsky.social

If you have not responded yet, please do it now!!

“When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.” --Arthur Conan Doyle #BicycleBirthday May 22 (1859-1930)

One of the many benefits of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods is that they make streets safer for cycling. We're working with boroughs to route bike routes through LTNs - with filters & safe crossings of main roads. Great to see the new Cycleway 37 in Hackney 🚲💚

My friend Rachel came to visit today - cycling from Islington to Bounds Green. “The quick route was DREADFUL” she says, shuddering. “Yes my friend, that is GREEN LANES”, I replied. “AKA a sh*tshow for cycling”. I wonder how many people experience it for the first … 1/3

🟢 🚲 Lime will offer free rides across London tomorrow (Thursday) to help people get to and from polling stations during the local elections. The offer can be accessed by entering the code ‘VOTEUK2026’ in the Lime app on the day only and applies to riders in London.

Rode the Bergen Bike Bus today to make a big announcement: We’re redesigning Bergen Street and Dean Street, from Court Street to East New York Ave — adding new bike boulevards and more pedestrian space. Safer rides to school for New York City kids coming soon.

There’s a reason I’m checking the polls for Westminster all the time. The worry is that the Conservatives could get in again with a majority, and check out their policies on active travel in this round up from Westminster Healthy Streets here 😨😨 … 1/2 westminsterstreets.org.uk/where-do-the...

Five years ago, a right wing faction of the Ealing Labour Party saw their chance, and used local controversy over LTNs as a pretext to launch a successful coup against the reigning moderately soft left faction, installing a new administration on the promise of scrapping all the measures

This is frankly horrifying. 'Good news': parents of Harry Webb, killed on Kenworthy Road, 10/9/23, finally have some justice. Woman who killed him has pled guilty & faces a "substantial period of imprisonment". HT @rosslydall.bsky.social for details: rosslydall.substack.com/p/speeding-d... But...

Excellent - please crack on with the remaining gap in east/west Clerkenwell road & the horror show which is Finsbury Park 'gyratory' and absent C50 route @willnorman.co.uk @london.gov.uk @haringeycyclists.bsky.social @hackneycycling.org.uk @camdencyclists.bsky.social @rowchampion.bsky.social

Our society has a massive blind spot when it comes to how dangerous these giant trucks and SUVs are to everyone outside of them.

If your idea of a Cycleway consists of car parking (legal or otherwise), drivers hurtling past you, no cycle crossings at junctions, no feeder lanes to cycle boxes at traffic lights, more parking getting in the way and bumpy surfaces, then #Cycleway1 may be the route for you!

Also, I should've said. This montage was from a single trip!

Across London, people have taken action emailing local candidates. Haringey has consistently been among the top boroughs in reaching out to local politicians. If you haven’t yet, it just takes 1 minute via link below to send email to the leaders of all local parties: action.lcc.org.uk/streets

Missed out on Wednesday's Active Travel + Clean Air Hustings but want to hear what Labour, Liberal Democrats and Greens are offering to Haringey residents? Check out this recording and let us know what you think www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAqG...

HELLO LONDON ON A TUBE STRIKE DAY! I cycled from Farringdon to Marble Arch this morning on a Forest bike and it was BONKERS. Here’s a video ⬇️⬇️ Sound up for an absolute tune by Raye 🎶🎶

We had a Hustings on Wednesday this week - which I couldn’t make due to work and tube strike madness! But there’s a recording here. Well done to @haringeycyclists.bsky.social for organising this, and thank you to all Cllrs who took part …

With the RMT Tube strike, it’s even busier than usual on London’s bike lanes. Not all lines are impacted so check before you travel. If you’re on a bike, take it easy & look out for others. If you haven’t cycled for a bit, refresh your skills online: tfl.gov.uk/modes/cycling/…

Priorities for repairing tired bridges must be based on accurate data and the cost of repairs in relation to public benefit. Decisions should be made to best improve mobility across our whole city. And that may mean simply keeping Hammersmith Bridge open for walking and cycling. 🤸🏽 🚶🏽‍♀️ 👩🏼‍🦯 🧑🏽‍🦽 🏃 🚲

Reminder of the Active Travel + Clean Air Hustings next week. An important opportunity to ensure that we have streets fit for all users and not just motorists

My daughter is in the local paper for I think the first time ever this week! Thank you to the Ham and High for publishing this piece 🗞️🗞️ It’s about what I’ve learnt from cycling with her, as she’s grown up pedalling in London. D learnt to ride a bike when she was four … 1/7

What is Emmanuel Grégoire, the new Paris mayor, planning for the city over his new term in office? —60,000 new social housing units —15 express bus routes —Completion of city's full bike network —Transformation of ring highway into a boulevard —1000 new pedestrian streets —300 new hectares of parks

If you want seamless bike-to-train travel to actually work, start with the basics: put ample bike parking right next to the platform. Convenience isn’t a bonus - it’s the whole point.

The Bourne Identity (2002) / The Hidalgo Legacy (2026)

Right in the heart of the city what would be car parking in the UK is instead space for bike parking, greenery, and outdoor dining. When you make city centres safe and welcoming with cycle routes in every direction, you don't need endless car parks. Cities thrive when places are built for people.

One of the Netherlands best daily spectacles is the school run: every weekday at around 08:00, streets in cities, towns, villages, as well as in the countryside, fill up with children cycling to school. Made possible by safe, seamless bike infrastructure and plentiful school bike parking.

If you hate the school drop-off line, then advocate to change the line itself.
