Two-way cycle track is now taking shape on St Martin's Le Grand + Cheapside as part of the St Paul's gyratory scheme. @raynoldchow.bsky.social @edmondchuihw.bsky.social @safecycleldn.bsky.social

Highly recommended! Cycle Islington 50th Anniversary Ceilidh – Friday 26 June. Dancing and music from The Muckers + light meal from Southpaw Café. Just £20! 1 week left to buy a ticket here: lcc.org.uk/events/cycle...

3/ London's congestion charge ends at 6pm ... and then the number of motorised vehicles in the City of London rockets. That looks like a policy failure to me. (Unsurprisingly, folk walking are the City's main mode of transport, usually arriving by public transport)

2/ "Compared to summer 2023, people cycling increased 44% and walking and wheeling by 22% over a 24-hour period." "The latest autumn counts (2024) showed that cycling growth, overall traffic reduction and freight reduction are all currently ahead of their respective 2030 targets."

Had a grand old time at the London Nocturne this weekend. Penny Farthings, women's race, and a lot of cowbell ringing!

Great to see the Nocturne back in London on Saturday. Road racing plus: the giant Penny Farthing record, a tiny Penny , LCC's CEO in the VOI challenge, an LCC stall, Brompton racing and fancy dress. Well done all.

It's the Nocturne in the City today and the penny farthing event looks like hard work!

Here's how you close a cycle lane for roadworks. Close a lane for cars to create a temporary cycle pane, install ramps so people on bikes can exit and re-enter the cycleway. 📍 Upper Thames Street, London

LAST CALL!! Here's a nice way to spend a minute this evening. 😁 Taxi drivers argue they need access thru Bank junction but this simply worsens conditions for those walking, wheeling and cycling and it doesn't add access for taxis to the junction they didn't already have. bank-taxi.commonplace.is

LAST DAYS. RESPOND NOW! Taxi drivers have argued they need access thru Bank junction but this simply worsens conditions for those walking, wheeling and cycling and it doesn't add access for taxis to the junction they didn't already have. bank-taxi.commonplace.is

White bike event today at the shocking gyratory at Finsbury Park where C50 chucks cyclists into heavy dangerous traffic. @willnorman.co.uk @cycleislington.uk @hackneycycling.org.uk @haringeycyclists.bsky.social

🙋 If you feel safer and prefer the iconic Bank junction without thousands more taxi trips through its centre (they could always reach the side streets) please tell City by Sunday 31st May... Have your say here 👇

"We don't think we can build a meaningful cycleway without bus stop bypasses that meets national and London standards”. Quite. www.mylondon.news/news/transpo...

Fore St had been re-opened

2/ (Bi)Cycles are now the dominant mode of vehicular traffic over the bridges into the City of London: > Blackfriars, cycleway #C6 #CS6: 13.3k/day, 40% > London, extending #C4, 19.7k/day, 57% > Southwark, cycleway #CS7, 5.2k/day, 36% City of London PDF: www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/assets/Servi...

New with-flow cycle lane on the resurfaced Eldon St, leading on to Liverpool St's Lizzie Line entrance. This was mapped on the Central London Grid. Had hoped there might be a contraflow lane instead. @safecycleldn.bsky.social @citylcc.bsky.social @raynoldchow.bsky.social @edmondchuihw.bsky.social

So I started looking into this to outline the conspiracy theory. But what I found was a genuinely beautiful piece of practical idealism. A small, attainable progressive change that would hugely improve people's lives. I was inspired by it.

Meanwhile Fore St (part of north south cycle route thru City) is completely closed with a plethora of signs but not one indication of where to go if you are on a bike.

Yes this is typical. And if you proceed up to turn right into Charterhouse St you are stuck at a two phase right turn with no visible signal, because the temporary lights are behind you.

I walked the length of Wilson Street and Paul Street to a meeting this morning. Two local authorities, but a complete failure in accessibility from end to end on both sides. More surfaces uneven than even. Terrible dropped kerbs throughout. Missing dropped kerbs on desire lines which don't

⏰⚠️⏰⚠️ ALERT! The Bayswater road consultation is under heavy threat despite the obvious benefits.

They really are saying, without any shame or self awareness, that it should be a political priority for DfT to spend hundreds of millions of pounds of scarce public money on engineering an ailing wrought iron Victorian monument to be able to carry SUVs between two of the UK’s richest neighborhoods

Quite dispiriting really to watch a parade of Labour and Lib Dem politicians who should know better embrace post-truth era and repeat falsehoods in service of a wildly expensive, climate and air quality trashing road building scheme to funnel more motor traffic back into inner London from the shires

This great news. Well done!

The City's traffic reduction objectives laid out in their Transport and Vision Zero Strategies have gone into reverse in recent months. It's time for a u-turn. bank-taxi.commonplace.is

Fwiw workers on site yesterday said the c3 c6 cycle link would reopen 'in a couple of months'. The sooner the better!

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
