I’m down at the Oxford Street car free day and I can already tell this is going to be an exceptionally joyous event. I’ll share some highlights!

Ermygadddd, I’ve been on Oxford Street with my daughter today as it’s been traffic free. What a total buzz 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 All we could hear was people chatting and laughing, and not ONE engine. It was delicious. And of course people are here in huge numbers. … 1/11

Sooooo heart warming ! What a super ride for everyone - what's not to 💕!

WELL NOW!!! I don’t know who the heck edited this video together but they did a rather smashing job 😉😉 Give it a watch folks! Last week’s Haringey safari ride, to everyone’s favourite song right now. Haringey Loves Cycling 🙌🏻🙌🏻

🚨🚨 Sound up loud for our brand new video! 📽️📽️ People riding to the song of the moment - turn it up and enjoy! 🎶 Last Saturday, Haringey Cycling organised a marshalled family ride around local animal murals. We got an amazing turnout, because People Love Cycling. … /1

We love the new safer crossing on Essex Road - now let's crack on with C50 at Finsbury Park where it remains unfinished, dangerous and seemingly ignored by decision makers @hackneylcc.bsky.social @haringeycyclists.bsky.social @willnorman.co.uk youtu.be/u3-A75xJ_G8

Thanks to everyone who came along to yesterday's ride and the volunteers who made it such a big success. We'd love to see more cycle friendly infrastructure in Haringey, making it safer for everyone to cycle around the borough and not just on our #communityrides

My Ham and High piece has been featured on Harringay Online and has 5 pages of comments. What I’ve realised recently is how many regular folks around here are looking for a safe cycle route. A local mum told me in the playground the other day that … /1 harringayonline.com/forum/topics...

Professor Ian Walker was inspirational at yesterday's conference at London's beautiful Guildhall. His allotted time was way too short - could have listened to him all day. 🙏🏻 #motonormativity @ianwalker.bsky.social

Great presentation by the LCC Women's Network at the 2025 London Walking, Wheeling and Cycling Conference. Well done Kate! 👏 Reminder: London's Cycleways need to be routed through safe places - eg not parks - to work for everyone 24/7 🚨 lcc.org.uk/news/womens-...

🤔 Tube strike forcing you to rethink the commute? 🚴 Don't put yourself through the painfully slow bus or the painfully overpacked train - make the most of the September sun and ride into work! You never know, you might actually enjoy it... 👀

Amazing to see the Embankment cycleway in Central London hitting capacity on roughly a quarter of the width of wheeled traffic space. Here's what it looked like before. Cities can change and cycling is a *key* part of the transport mix.

Imagine going in a shop and seeing a sandwich labeled "£1.99 or £4.50 depending what time it is. You'll be punished as a thief if you pay the wrong amount but we won't tell you what time the prices change". That's the UK rail system that is

We had a magical moment in the park on Wednesday night. Just look at this! It was the first day back to school, and after a big early evening rainstorm, we dashed to the new playground at Tambo Rec to have the zip wire to ourselves. We were the only ones in the park and -/1

Would you push someone off this 54-foot ladder? Hitting them with your car at 40mph does the same damage.

Come join us on Saturday 13th September for our biggest ride of the year to the Tottenham Flower and Produce Festival with pick ups from Priory Park, Alexandra Palace Park, Finsbury Park, Chestnuts Park and Down Lane Park haringeycyclists.org/events/big-s... #communityride

We probably need to start a support group that meets regularly and has coffee and donuts in the back of the room.

@anthonychristofi.bsky.social we love you guys. Please spread the word about this to the team. Absolute legends the lot of you 🙌🏻

Hey Carla - thank you so much! It's amazing to see people enjoying the route. The team will be very chuffed with your lovely feedback!

🔔 New Cycle Infra Alert! 🔔 Yesterday, a group of us went to explore a brand new protected cycle lane on York Way near London’s King’s Cross and it’s MAGNIFICENT. It also has an excellent bus stop bypass, and nearby, a pre - LTN roundabout 👀👀 … 1/12 🧵

Correct: we ARE revolting. We revolt for action. We want change now. And if anyone’s wondering if I’m middle class - I ate quinoa this week!

My rant about lack of cycle infrastructure on Green Lanes has been printed in an actual NEWSPAPER 🎉🥳📰🗞️ It’s a half page comment piece in the Ham and High, out now. The online version is also the most read story at the moment. Cycling issues matter! 🚲🚲 You might … 1/9

This reduction was consistent across: ✔️ travel modes ✔️ junctions with/without traffic lights Filtering side streets hasn't just made internal LTN roads safer - it has made boundary-LTN junctions safer too. No negative impacts on other boundary road junctions. findingspress.org/article/1434... 3/

*Our new LTN paper out today* Do 'boundary road' junctions with minor roads get safer when minor roads are filtered (i.e. closed to through-traffic)? We tested this using police-reported casualty data (2012–24) from 113 London Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) introduced between 2015–24. 1/

I find it stunning that more isn’t being done. Inertia costs lives. Here’s the piece online. And the first few lines: “To keep yourself safe when cycling, you only really need one good route - but in a lot of Haringey, we're still one short. … /6 www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/2539380...

As TfL works through its plans for Vision Zero Action Plan 2 it’s important they hear loud and clear that Londoners want urgent action to reduce the devastating toll of road death and serious injury in London to zero. Thank you @carlafrancome.bsky.social for bringing your voice to Vision Zero.

Big shout out to Carla Francome for bringing the hostile environment of Green Lanes for cyclist in the Ham&High www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/2539380... #safercycling

Kudos to Carla and all those that write to their local papers and elected officials about road safey: www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/2539380...

Kidical Mass is run by informal local groups with no significant funding or charitable status. They do fantastic grassroots cycling advocacy in a way which is difficult for the usual cycling opponents to attack. Unglamorous crowdfunder but necessary - please contribute!

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

In the words of @humantransit.bsky.social "Technology Never Changes Geometry" humantransit.org/2016/07/elon... Cars simply can't scale to meet the needs of cities because they are extremely space inefficient.

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.

Great to see my old friend @johnjohnstewart.bsky.social making the case for Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) to support local active travel journeys in yesterday’s Times www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

Really smashing job this - a Schools Lead at Mums for Lungs. A year from October – 8 days a month @£210/day. For the right person this would be such a good job! www.mumsforlungs.org/news/hiring-...

I’ve listened to this podcast twice, and want to listen again to take notes - so many fascinating insights from @ianwalker.bsky.social and @edwardlamb.bsky.social about the strange psychology of car driving and #motornormativity open.spotify.com/episode/2Yxn... @lowtrafficfuture.bsky.social

Vision Zero promises to end deaths and serious injuries on the road by 2041 – TfL knows we need to step up the action and is working on Vision Zero Action Plan 2. I hope all Londoners will share their ideas with me for #VZAP2 to help TfL prevent road danger and keep everyone safe on our streets.

“Oh my God I can see Green Lanes from here” It is utterly shameful that leaving roads, known to be dangerous, without making any changes is normalised. The danger is not inevitable it’s a choice. Thanks @carlafrancome.bsky.social for another 🧵 about my report. www.london.gov.uk/caroline-rus...

We agree! 😱 Green Lanes, like too many main roads in London, remains hostile & dangerous for cycling @carolinerussell.bsky.social's brilliant report on Vision Zero needs Mayor, TfL and councils to act, now, to avoid more families & lives ruined london.gov.uk/sites/defaul...

🧵 by @carlafrancome.bsky.social hits nails on heads 🔨 ❓Could it be that some local councils don't care about anyone other than car drivers and want to keep status quo ? ❓Do council officers drive to work ? ❓ Have councils declared #ClimateEmergency ? 🤔

I appreciate this isn’t the sort of thing a normal person says, but I did an 18-tweet thread this morning, and I left something important out 🤯😂 We’ve all done it right? And the thing I left out was this. Last week, when I was still reeling about the fact that we … /1
