Dreadful news of a woman killed by a lorry being driven on Hornsey Rise. My thoughts with her family, friends and work colleagues and with first responders. World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims yesterday. I hope any lessons can be learned from the investigation and any changes made.

This is one of my favourite pieces so far as The Times emphasises how AMAZING swifts are & how small the ask of swift bricks is, illustrating how pathetic Labour are being. www.thetimes.com/comment/the-...

People also forget that for many an e-bike IS a mobility aid and yet we can't take them into hotels, we can't charge them on campsites or other accommodation, we aren't even allowed to put them into safe bike lock-ups at work (even if not charging). And yet you can buy an illegal e-bike from Argos

So glad these pesky e-bikes have speed limiters www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

The hysteria over this has been utterly insane. No one bats an eyelids when parked cars reduce road width down to a single car width do they? road.cc/content/news...

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Of 1847 total reports 1362 are NFA or Warning Letter - 74% either got a "got away with it again" letter or were just not actioned at all. I guess that's OpSnap been binned, again. @roadcc.bsky.social

This is the logical consequence of Labour’s appeasement of the far right - this is an arms race Labour should never seek to win

On today's World Day of Remembrance for Road Victims it is worth noting that in the two years since Wales implemented a national default 20mph (32km/h) there have been 25% fewer casualties on such roads with over 1,000 fewer people killed or injured. youtu.be/efr3uVKpOwY

I'm infuriated that I have to pay £5 to bring my £180,000 range rover into central oxford... (narrator: The vehicle takes about 2 hours to simply depreciate in value that much).

Samir Zitouni a Muslim Immigrant from Algeria left hospital today, 2 weeks after being the first person to try stop the attack in Huntingdon train attack. They won't want to talk about this immigrant.

BUT "The hardest part is crossing massive junctions or changing lanes in front of cars" The fix: Haringey needs a safe cycle network – including Green Lanes! People have been waiting long... @mikehakata.bsky.social @perayahmet.bsky.social @scottemery.bsky.social @haringeygreens.bsky.social 6/7

From cars to cargo bikes: how families are finding freedom on two (or three) wheels. Here’s how Norwich is helping residents make the shift. Matthew O’Conner Lomas reports eastangliabylines.co.uk/business/tra...

After 4 convictions, she still hasn't been able to grasp that there is one sure way of not getting a speeding ticket entirely within her control. Being caught at 35 means her speedo was almost certainly showing 36 or 37. Even bang on 35 would have been obvious. #Motornormativity entitlement.

Get cabs.

The other thing I don't understand is this. There must be a number of Labour MP's who have parents who came to Britain as refugees. (Ours is one.) Or who might be refugees themselves. How on earth does this new policy play with them??

English councils plan to sell off social clubs and sports centres to balance books. Social spaces lost forever. Libraries, community centres, school playgrounds, parks closed/sold as council funding cut in real terms to appease the rich. Social vandalism.

With all Green MPs, I voted to keep the vital nature protections in Lords Amendment 130 to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill last night (now no.40 in our weird processes). The Govt is ignoring evidence and playing political games with our ecosystem. hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2025...

Why was #CelebrityTraitors one big SUV ad?! SUVs like the Defender are three times more likely to kill a child under 10 in the event of a crash, compared to a small car. This form of advertising needs challenging. #AirPollution #RoadDanger

Disappointed that the Met Commissioner does not see the part that a good collision investigation plays in road traffic victims getting justice after a crash.

The Lower Thames Crossing is unaffordable. If fully publicly financed, it would need £16 billion of taxpayers' money! transportactionnetwork.org.uk/chancellor-u...

This feels like the right balance. The BBC made a mistake and should certainly apologise, but it shouldn't give in to Trump's mafia shakedown routine. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is a most excellent letter from one the original 100 Women in Cycling @cyclinguk.bsky.social need to pay attention to their female member, whilst they still have any

Trump is going to have a very hard job proving that his reputation was damaged in any fair and honest court examination of his incitement to riot and his subsequent pardoning of those who helped kill security workers defending Congress. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Delighted to see TfL confirm today they are making changes that will let them increase the congestion charge in the same way as transport fares. The extra revenue helps fund alternatives but the principle is the most important bit - why freeze charges but not fares? tfl.gov.uk/info-for/med...

I was so proud to be listed on Cycling UK's 100 women in cycling 2022. Because of their recent decision to exclude transwomen from the list, I have requested my name be removed. Transwomen are women & cruel politics has no place in the cycling spaces that I campaign and research for.

Rolls eyes at the Lib Dems. It's a CONGESTION charge.

Excellent news. Camden has recommended the Albany St scheme for approval. democracy.camden.gov.uk/ieDecisionDe...

Axing the cycle-to-work scheme might seem like low-hanging fruit for a cash-strapped Treasury, but it would be a big mistake. Particularly with expensive kid-carrying cargo e-bikes, it's one of the most effective modal shift levers out there. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The local cycling WhatsApp has been alight today with warnings about the slippery leaves in the chiswick cycle lane - & puzzled speculation over what idiots could have made weird big piles of leaves in the lane, making it even more dangerous.

Did you know the government spends £2.7 billion a year on tax breaks for oil & gas companies? I've written to Rachel Reeves to tell her to end this scandal: stop propping up declining oil & gas companies and back workers instead Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en... @38degrees.bsky.social

Woman killed on pedestrian crossing by speeding motorcyclist “with no consequences“. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

seen at Pine & 12th

This scheme has already transformed King Henry’s Walk and made it much safer when I have to cycle through with the kids. We just need Boleyn Rd filter now. 👏 @islington-council.bsky.social

Labour peer blocks plans for nesting brick to aid endangered swifts The former head of the RSPB voted against plans to make swift bricks mandatory in all new housing www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

So stop subsidising motorists!! Especially for those oversized SUVs!

Look behind you? “Taxpayers shouldn’t be footing the bill for luxury leisure.” Says govt source. Will that apply to the £4bn a year in fuel duty freeze costs, which go to drivers on the highest incomes the most?

In 2023, the Labour party supported mandating swift bricks, whipping FOR the swifts brick amendment. 2 years later, the same Ministers in charge of Housing put a 3 line whip (the most extreme block) AGAINST swift bricks. Listen to the strength of support in this powerful speech.

New cycle lanes are not for people who currently cycle. They are for people who drive because it’s too dangerous to cycle.

Paris cycling numbers double in one year thanks to massive investment and it’s not stopping. momentummag.com/paris-cyclin...

Tonight ! ⏰ 1900 🏢 Islington Town Hall followed by ☕️ 🍻 🍷 💬🤗

Bravo Simon ! Up there with @annehidalgo.bsky.social @modacitylife.com @olord.bsky.social and @jskstreet.bsky.social to name a few stars amongst many Congratulations !🙌🏻 @londoncycling.bsky.social

Leading medical publication the British Medical Journal recognises SUVs as a danger to public health in a new editorial co-authored by T&E’s James Nix: bit.ly/4hVDlBC Large SUVs are a danger to pedestrians, cyclists & other drivers. It's time to take action to reduce their presence in urban areas.

Sadly missed it but absolute credit to @lb-southwark.bsky.social running a 'Guided Cycle Consultation' where Officers actually got out & cycled with residents to consult changes. People saying it was the best consultation they've ever seen. FANTASTIC progress that every Council should copy.

This is just insane. VPN use is legal and not just used by ppl circumventing the crap and pointless online safety act. This is nothing more than an attempted authoritarian power grab that North Korea would be proud of.

Incredible speech from Armando Iannucci about how the U.K. creative industries are enormously valuable to the economy, including the #BBC. Something Lisa Nandy should listen to and actually champion www.instagram.com/reel/DQrCykU...
