If only we weren’t so siloed in our budgeting. The gains for public health budgets from enabling a physically active population are immense. Safe routes for cycling are an investment in health more than a cost for transport budgets. 👇

From 1st March the Islington police station will no longer be open 24/7 Will police vehicles still be parked in the mandatory 24/7 (no loading at any time) C50 cycle lanes outside? @metropolitanpolice.bsky.social @islington-council.bsky.social @cycleislington.uk

Some of the new public realm has opened at the St. John St works. The 'contraflow wands' have been removed as there's pavement work under way on the west side of the street. Another week or so to the scheduled end of the scheme. @marcus-on-a-bike.bsky.social

A few years ago over 2000 angry people signed a petition against Church Street bus gate. They said nobody agreed, it would hurt small businesses & destroy the high street. www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/2110921... Watch how it turned out here: youtu.be/nLrliKaAjnU?...

You love to see it. New separated cycle lanes are being built on Clerkenwell Rd. More cyclists = more room for drivers = less congestion

With thanks to all who discussed the dismal lack of progress on C50 @haringeycyclists.bsky.social @hackneylcc.bsky.social @londoncycling.bsky.social Calling @willnorman.co.uk @london.gov.uk - this was announced in 2018, would be super to complete by 2028 ? youtu.be/pYHVj9JRzGY

Bike lanes, not new roads. www.ippr.org/articles/mak...

Excellent news - can some be allocated to enabling walking, wheeling and cycling please ? Investment in active travel will pay off handsomely as well as delivering to #Visionzero and mitigating #climatechange risks

Out in Finsbury Park today with our neighbours @islington-council.bsky.social @rowchampion.bsky.social and Haringey Council’s Cllr Ibrahim Ali and @londoncycling.bsky.social looking at how to work with Transport for London to extend Cycleway C50 so we can ride safely through all of our boroughs.

Cycling & transport is important to young London voters.

18-34 Londoners say they want to live where there's dockless hire, say cycling schemes & transport policy is important according to new Lime & SpareRoom surveys. 67% say cycling makes London more "liveable" & nearly 1/2 see cycling as a "green flag" for dating. airqualitynews.com/cars-freight...

This kind of car-centric infrastructure in a city centre is a relic of an experiment that went wrong. Big roads and mega junctions have no place in busy cities. A good step is making crossing them in one go much easier. But a better one is to remove them altogether. www.bbc.com/news/article...

“No one should feel scared or excluded in our city…” Why we need a network of safe 24/7 direct cycling routes” Tell your prospective councillors. @londoncycling.bsky.social

After years of us campaigning for a new law, government gave London the power to regulate pedicabs. Today we're launching the new regulations. Our new rules will ensure pedicabs are a green, safe, fair & fun way to explore central London. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’ve campaigned for years for TfL to be given the powers to regulate pedicabs. That’s why I’m pleased that pedicabs will now be regulated across the capital, to ensure they meet proper operational standards.

91mph, killed someone. It's relentless. Imagine the outcry if trains or planes killed this frequently. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Scottish Borders bus for the win.

Brilliant plans by Islington Council to build protected cycle lanes on Market Road. Would make the Cally Park, football pitches, tennis centre & Lumpy Hill Adventure Playground accessible by cycle to people of all ages. Please support the consultation. www.letstalk.islington.gov.uk/market-road-...

👀 👀 👀 consultation on improvements on Market Road- have your say by 8 March ! www.letstalk.islington.gov.uk/market-road-... This link between us and Camden is embarassing - things can only get better ! cycleislington.uk/2025/market-.... @camdencyclists.bsky.social @londoncycling.bsky.social

Or, and hear me out, we could copy the Dutch and have staffed cycle garages at stations. Amsterdam, Utrecht and a much smaller one at Gouda. They are usually free for the first 24 hours *and* house the national cycle hire scheme run by Dutch railways.

We don’t just want more and better LTNs, we want Hackney main roads to change. 10% of Hackney residents live on main roads, and we want those people to feel the benefit too. Here’s how main roads should be changed in Hackney: www.lowtraffichackney.org/hackneys-mai... #hackney #LTN #traffic

The Queenstown Road cycle infrastructure is progressing well - more of this please!

Only passed driving test 3 weels earlier. No insurance. Habit of phone use whilst driving. Crashed and killed 2 whilst overtaking at almost 100mph. Just 6 years jail and an 8 year driving ban. What can be done to stop lunatics like this before they kill? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Go go @cyclingmikey.bsky.social - and thank you for all your efforts

Designing in car dependency into every town and city is a financial burden we can well do without.

I don't want self-driving cars. I want cars with speed governors and doors that won't open when cyclists are approaching.

Drivers: If you're waiting for a cyclist to pass so you can come out of a side road, edging forward is a great way to slow the cyclist down since it signals to them that you're not in full control of your car and that they need to be extra careful.

Looking for something to do this half-term? Then come along to one of our inclusive cycle sessions at the Ladywell Centre in Lewisham. Open to Disabled people of all ages and impairments, the sessions take place on Fridays at 10:30am, 11:30am or 12:30pm.

TfL report a wopping 43% rise in serious injuries to car occupants. The figures will come as little surprise to many Londoners concerned at the reckless way that cars are driven by some drivers . www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

Cycling (especially on e-bikes) improves cognitive function & mental well-being of older adults. We need to make streets safe enough for older people to feel able to cycle with more protected bike lanes & low traffic neighbourhoods.

coming up with a new idea called "driving like shit olympics". no more bland, unprovable statements like "california drivers are the WORST" allowed. whichever state wins every 4 years gets a moonshot-sized public transit investment to get those fuckers off the road

Over 8 million ‼️ e-bike hire journeys annually are made in Wandsworth 🚲🎉 We welcome this growing demand for cycling and are pleased the council provides dedicated parking bays in busy town centres. It’s a far more efficient use of kerb space and road space, cutting congestion and pollution 💚

Thank you to everyone who attended the Vigil for Irene Leardini this evening. Good to see members of the press, Lewisham Council and our local MP attend. We'll be writing to TfL to try to engage in some sort of dialogue about the A2. Hopefully we won't have to do this again.
