Regent's canal is a popular🚴‍♀️route - efficient, vehicle free & scenic. But cycling after dark vs during the day feels a vastly different proposition. How socially safe would you feel here at night? @londoncycling.bsky.social volunteers tested 2 new proposed routes to bypass the canal ⬇️

Disappointing back sliding as the City of London Streets and Walkways committee resolve to keep Old Jewry open to southbound traffic. What's not to like about a rat run spewing traffic across the Cheapside pavement.

Look like the deep shaft on Arthur St that went down to the 🚂 station below has finally been (or is almost) closed up. The planned changes at the bridge end of the road will hopefully follow soon. @raynoldchow.bsky.social @edmondchuihw.bsky.social

The diagram shows, in black, the national annual distance cycled. On top of this I have drawn the growth rates seen in the City of London and Wilmslow Road in Manchester. A few schemes see a phenominal growth (the heavy lifting) but there aren't enough of them (yet) to affect the national picture.

It's time to put in your suggestions to the Fenchurch St Healthy Streets Plan to improve cycle provision in the area between Fenchurch Street and Lower Thames Street in the City of London. This early consultation closes Fri 17 October. www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/services/str...

Good news! It's been confirmed this morning that contraflow cycling will return to King William Street next Monday, assuming that the road surfacing goes as planned this weekend.

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

City of London police are holding a bike and phone marking event on FANN STREET on FRIDAY 15TH AUGUST between 12:00-14:00.

Disappointed that TfL has abandoned its plans to replace the Wandsworth Gyratory with no alternative ideas. 2014 it was a “car-clogged one-way system hostile to pedestrians and cyclists” and nothing changed since. Is it too late to safe Wandsworth Town? @willnorman.co.uk @wandsworthls.bsky.social

Pedestrianise the west end! 🙄 @westminster-Icc.bsky.social

The resurfaced C11 outside Bart's Hospital. Was told that the West Smithfield section of C11 (where it meets C6) is opened permanently (with a mini-hint of "unless..."). @citylcc.bsky.social

A tweet from City of London Police: Do you cycle in the City? We're running a free bike marking session this week to help keep your bike safe. We'll be at the junction of Moor Place and Moorgate between 0800 - 1000 on Wednesday 30 July 2025.

Cornhill has now reopened. @citylcc.bsky.social

Campaigners! 🙌🏻 What’s a term for when you shout until you’re blue in the face about a stretch of road and nothing gets done- for YEARS? 🗓️ “Stuck Record Blues” maybe? 😢🎵🎤 Any others? Because I’ve had serious Stuck Record Blues this week - and there’s a story behind it. 🧵1/18

ADVANCE WARNING From Monday 28th July taxis will be permitted East-West through Bank Junction during the restricted hours 7AM to 7PM, eroding the utility for people cycling.

🚨 NEW REPORT: Today, I'm proud to launch ‘Changing the Narrative – Ending the Acceptance of Road Death in London’ 👉 www.london.gov.uk/caroline-rus... To mark the launch, I’m hosting a roundtable at City Hall today with campaigners, bereaved families, crash survivors, policy experts, TfL and more.

👷 TfL's new plans for Shoreditch High Street are an improvement on previous junction redesigns, but simply aren't safe enough for people riding through... Check out the blog for a full breakdown of our thoughts: bit.ly/46YXovp

The West Smithfield end of C11 is open again, hopefully more permanent this time. There *might* even be little indications that the left side in pic 4 could be getting readied to be reopened. @edmondchuihw.bsky.social @raynoldchow.bsky.social

City of London Police: On Saturday 12 July at 12.44pm a cyclist collided with a bus whilst crossing Farringdon Street. The cyclist has suffered life changing injuries. If you have any information, including dashcam footage, call 020 7601 2115 or email [email protected]

Everyone should watch this! It's a delightful & joyous celebration of how we're transforming London into a cycling city. Brilliant to see ... but there's much more hard work to do. #LondonLovesCycling 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲 www.youtube.com/watch?v=OunB...

🏆 2025 Healthy Streets Scorecard has the City of London top this year, climbing from 2nd place in 2024, for its delivery of sustainable transport, low car dependency, and healthy streets www.healthystreetsscorecard.london/results/your...

Black cabs will be allowed through Bank jn, eastwards only from 28 July then both ways from October. Simon Munk of London Cycling Campaign: "Reintroducing more motor traffic to a now beautiful, calm and people-friendly space risks significantly worsening the jn." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The experiment to allow taxi access on Cornhill and Poultry across Bank starts on Monday 28 July. This will start eastbound only from Poultry to Cornhill and then be fully open in October to westbound. We will be monitoring the situation. cityoflondon.gov.uk/allchangeatbank

We have also submitted written evidence today. We are extremely concerned about these exclusionary amendments which would make comprehensive safe cycling for children, families & many disabled people impossible.

Ranty stating very clearly here why there should not be any reference to bus stop design in the Bus Services [No.2] Bill as it would bring cycling as transport to an end for most people in England.

⚠️ Looks like cycleway #C3 #CS3 gets diverted 5+6 July into the Castle Baynard road tunnel, as CB Street will be closed each day 7am-8pm 📸 x.com/a1_bloke/sta...

📅 It's been nearly a week since we launched our Dare to Dream campaign, calling on the Mayor to dream bigger when it comes to cycling in the capital! 🧑‍💻 Taken the action yet? Email Sadiq today and ask him to be bolder: bit.ly/43YSUC7

So, people will vote for cycle infrastructure and low traffic?!! Fantastic result and congratulations Emma.

👀⏰🚶‍♀️PEOPLE! It’s the LAST DAY to throw your support behind turning Oxford Street from this…to this! And yes, pedestrianisation does mean NO vehicles, including BICYCLES 🚳 and YES, we FULLY support that! BUT.. action.lcc.org.uk/oxfordst

The City of London team have made this great video showing what these works will deliver at St Paul’s - looks fabulous 🚲🚶‍♀️💚 youtu.be/lwPe4UjvEaM

7 Charities to receive £5,000 each - and all it takes it 2 secs of your time to nominate us. Even better, the link below has pre-filled half the form for you! We would be very grateful if all our supporters could do so, as charities with the most nominations receive the grant. Thank you.

Fantastic to visit the City of London today and see construction underway for the transformation of the St Paul’s Gyratory. With St Paul’s Cathedral looking lovely in the sunshine 😎

February minutes of the City of London's Streets & Walkways sub committee. NFBUK refuses to discuss better designs, their position is simply to ban them. This position will hurt people and help keep the streets objectively dangerous for their members. democracy.cityoflondon.gov.uk/documents/s2...

Today, work began to transform the three traffic lanes at the southern end of King Edward Street, removing St Paul's Gyratory, creating a new Greyfriars Square and introducing over 800 metres of east-west and north-south cycle lanes. Works are scheduled for completion in two years' time.

Make streets safer for cycling, you get more cycling. Astonishing stats from the City of London: 🚗⬇️ Motor vehicles down by 34% from 2017 baseline 🚴‍♀️139,000 cycle journeys per day (up from 89,000 just two years ago) 🚲🕗 Massive cycling peaks at commuting times; bikes making up 56% of all traffic

Cycling in City of London rises show the potential for Camden. www.bbc.com/news/article... Since 2017 cycling in the city has increased by 70% & motor traffic has reduced by 34%.

The City of London Corporation has welcomed the biggest increase in cycling in the Square Mile since records began!!! Official counts in Oct 2024 saw an increase in people cycling of over 50% since 2022, the largest jump since recording started in 1999 news.cityoflondon.gov.uk/city-cycling...

🙃 SILVERTOWN TUNNEL OPENED 🙃 Today marks day one of TfL's new £2.2 billion east London river crossing, the Silvertown Tunnel. 🗣️ Here's Jonathan from @newhamcyclists.uk on his experience of using the new shuttle bus, and why it falls so short of the mark... For more info: bit.ly/423zlZA

A stark preview image, but TfL's non-folding #eBike ban on public transport will have a stark effect on the mobility options of Disabled people. Further, without reasonable adjustments, we believe the ban is discriminatory under the Equality Act 2010. wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk/tfl-non-fold...

The recent diversions have ended for C6 (near Farringdon Station) and C3 (Castle Baynard St). @lastnotlost.bsky.social @raynoldchow.bsky.social @edmondchuihw.bsky.social

Sir Sadiq could have said: “While most motor vehicles are safe, there have been a large number of incidents where vehicles have been responsible for deaths, these have caused me great concern…” so motor vehicles ( responsible for 5 deaths a day) have been banned.

Disclosure: This is utterly infuriating for me personally as chucking a couple of kids on an e-bike and cycling out to the edge of London then getting a train back is brilliant. Often do the same while reporting for London Centric. But Deliveroo has externalised its costs onto the rest of us.

City of London Police announce another chance to get your bike marked. This quick process can help prevent your bike from being stolen or help the police return it to you in the event it is stolen. They are there today between 1200 - 1400 at 25 Cannon Street..

The St Paul’s Gyratory transformation project construction is due to commence on the 28th April 2025, starting on streets between the former Museum of London roundabout and St Paul’s Underground station. A new public square, Greyfriars Sq, will be created. www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/stpaulsgyrat...

Aldgate square looking fantastic today 🌸. Now one of the largest open spaces in the City of London it was created by replacing a busy road system. And this year we can look forward to work starting on a new Greyfriars Sq replacing the awful St Paul's gyratory. More of this sort of thing!
