For reference, @ippr.org said "£35 per head per year for a decade is needed to deliver walking, wheeling and cycling infrastructure" so even the best funded places are getting under one-fifth what they need. www.ippr.org/media-office...

If only all involved had read TfL's access control guidance note. content.tfl.gov.uk/access-contr...

That's 3m wide and by walls, knock off 0.5m on each side to give an effective width of 2m; so it wasn't very good in the first place. These barriers are disgraceful. (here for others interested: maps.app.goo.gl/WMDovGQxCwr2...)

Here's a blog someone else wrote about them doing this. yorkcyclecampaign.bike/2021/03/20/t...

Two interesting new videos by my colleague Barnaby Eager, with plenty of tips on cycling in town – you may or may not agree with him, but well worth watching. Amazing to see the sheer number of people cycling in central London @londoncycling.bsky.social @willnorman.co.uk youtu.be/zd822jBr-A4?...

Just when you thought #Cycleway1 couldn’t get any worse! It was awful enough that the route takes us through a seedy alleyway, but Haringey Council thought it would go one further and install these barriers!!! Good luck to cargo bike riders. Depressing. @willnorman.co.uk @mikehakata.bsky.social

Many of my pals are 60+ and are not stopping cycling any time soon. The physical, mental, social and financial benefits of using a bike are already proven. If we can live longer as well, bring it on. Some of us even 'did' Dunwich this year 🥹

Looks like we're not hanging our helmets up any time soon. Our top two Dangerous Junctions have been on our to-do list for years. Nothing is happening. We need to get noisy. @london.gov.uk and @islington-council.bsky.social need to step up cycleislington.uk/2025/islingt...

Our @psimonk.bsky.social got rather excited about news London now seeing average 1.5 million journeys cycled daily this morning: bsky.app/profile/lond.... Now here's his slightly calmer & more detailed analysis: lcc.org.uk/news/1-5-mil... covering funding case, outer v inner London & a lot more.

Our Head of Campaigns @psimonk.bsky.social quoted in this 👇 New stats on soaring cycle trips are great, but... “Until every borough gets with the programme, cycling’s potential in London will remain ...restricted to the fast, fit and fearless" zagdaily.com/places/cycle...

Lack of political will in London is perhaps most starkly visible in inaction around London's most #DangerousJunctions 1. We have 3 years in a row highlighted ratrun cluster in Wandsworth as the most dangerous in London, where ratruns cross main road cycle tracks. The same Cycle Superhighway, CS7...

' ... any junction, no matter how complicated, can be made safe with political will' So where is the political will to make the Finsbury Park gyratory safe ? @london.gov.uk @haringeycyclists.bsky.social @hackneylcc.bsky.social youtu.be/pYHVj9JRzGY

Brilliant to see my daughter Sabine’s first article in print in the Ham & High www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/255880..., telling her story about the day she stopped waiting for the bus – and started saving £1,000 a year. 1/7

It's a joy to see Westminster's determination to build new, safe cycleways in the West End, despite some minority opposition 🥳 C43 is a much needed route. Most residents supported it at consultation 😍 Kudos to Cllrs @adamhug.bsky.social @maxsullivan.bsky.social! www.standard.co.uk/news/transpo...

YouGov survey of 1,000+ Londoners, post-tube strike said 1/5 cycled during strikes, 1/4 will now cycle more, with ~35% of central & East Londoners embracing cycling.

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 🙌🏻🙌🏻

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

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
