Man killed in collision with car driver on Old Kent Road www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

Good old #Cycleway1. Driver blocking contraflow lane with parked car and other cars blocking ambulance on emergency call. But at least they've resurfaced the road! Thanks a bunch @hackneycouncil.bsky.social and TfL for this dreadful Cycleway route. This is fit for purpose is it @willnorman.co.uk?

"Cyclists: they don't stop at zebra crossings and they all disappear when the temperature drops!" (Also, what's going on with that driver at the end!) #Cycleway1

"free parking". Someone always pays. It's never free. Pump the money into public and active transport instead, then everyone can benefit. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The mother of a 12-year-old who was nearly killed by a hit-and-run driver is calling for urgent action to make roads safer for children, as new research shows that more than 400 pupils are injured on their journeys to and from school each year. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

This. This right here is why proper cycling infrastructure is an investment in our communities and our future. It is only the beginning. This route isn’t even fully finished. When we stop imagining and start doing, change happens. @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social @edi.bike @chasbooth.bsky.social

"You can’t just build a neighborhood and then figure out how people will get to and from it… If we’re to provide housing that’s affordable to everyone, accessible and sustainable, then we must invest in cycling and public transport. And €1 billion is a pretty big statement of intent." bit.ly/48lM5xC

In 2024, 1,671 people were killed on UK roads and 28,804 were seriously injured. Do you think this is acceptable? This week is #RoadSafetyWeek and we’re calling on the Government to take action to prevent road death and injury. Read the full news story here: www.brake.org.uk/how-we-help/...

I’m old enough to remember when roads were used for getting to places, and not for storing something which on average is only used 4% of the time. What happened?

I really thought we’d get this situation sorted before letting AI take over our lives.

Mobility means more than getting from A to B. Freedom to travel brings new experiences and opportunities. Government cuts could take away more than disabled people's cars - they could take away our freedom. Let's protect our independence. Learn more on our website: https://bit.ly/49E3QJt

Those lost or seriously injured on Hull's roads are to be remembered at a memorial service. The service marks the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, which is on the third Sunday of November every year. www.bbc.com/news/article...

A route is only as useful and inviting as its weakest part. And #Cycleway1 has an abundance of weak sections! Fancy crossing this road and negotiating your way down this side road with your loved ones by bicycle? No? Me neither. @willnorman.co.uk thinks it's fine!

Obviously glad to see another tinkering of a section of the #Cycleway1 route, but this part is very poorly managed @hackneycouncil.bsky.social! Narrow pavements and "cyclists dismount" signs are well below par in this day and age. @willnorman.co.uk

Nothing quite says "Cycleway" like negotiating your way around damaged road surfaces and impatient drivers! #Cycleway1

Weaving between bins and poorly parked vans, lorries mounting traffic islands because of other poorly parked vans, and having to filter on the right due to parked cars, aren't things we should have to encounter on a TfL funded Cycleway. #Cycleway1

Another delightful commute on the TfL funded #Cycleway1 route, mismanaged by @hackneycouncil.bsky.social and promoted by @willnorman.co.uk @mayoroflondon.bsky.social. How is this fit for purpose? The fact that anyone cycles here at all is a triumph of the human spirit. What a shambles.

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new. This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

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?

Worth remembering that freezing fuel duty, which could well happen again, costs about 30x more than the cycle to work scheme per year.

I hope this doesn't happen. Would be a huge mistake.

Britannia Leisure Centre Hackney is a bike theft hotspot. I called Police on people openly grinding locks recently but there are more cut locks every time I come. They must know. Why is nothing being done?

I just can't see why more people aren't enjoying #Cycleway1! Any clues anyone? Look at this. It's just so inviting!

Ah, good old #Cycleway1. So well lit, free of motor traffic and smooth as a pancake! Thanks @hackneycouncil.bsky.social TfL @willnorman.co.uk @mayoroflondon.bsky.social

It's got the point now on some sections of #Cycleway1 where you'd surely feel embarrassed to drive a car, being vastly outnumbered by people on bicycles, and obstructing those behind you who would otherwise be able to go quicker. Even in the rain!

For taxpayers, every piece of cycling infrastructure is a gift that keeps on giving. An asset that returns annual savings in congestion, pollution, maintenance, safety and healthcare over its lifetime. Stop asking whether your city can afford to invest in cycling. Ask whether it can afford not to.

Cyclist Cahal O’Reilly was five miles from catching a ferry in Holyhead in Wales, when an uninsured driver travelling at 70mph collided with him before leaving the scene. He was thrown into the air and landed 20 metres away on the side of the road. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

Seems @hackneycouncil.bsky.social has lost its way in delivering real and meaningful infrastructure to enable active travel. I'm not sure what this nonsense is.

My unpopular opinion: those of us advocating for non-car travel need to stop apologetically saying "I know not everybody can cycle!" Obviously not everyone can cycle, but that's also true of driving. I fear we're just giving our opponents' attack lines legitimacy by shouting them out for free

Gotta love #Cycleway1. Often rough, sometimes dark, still too choked with cars and vans and absent crossings aplenty. Not at all convenient, inviting or safe. @willnorman.co.uk @mayoroflondon.bsky.social

A £22.5m cycle route project will take a key step forward when it goes before councillors. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

People are often alarmed by the cost of an e-bike. My latest bike cost £2,799. It’s my main transport for commuting, appointments and going with my son to sports. My previous e-bike was £1,899 and lasted for 5+ years. An annual TfL travel card costs £2,100. Great value for money.

Oh man, this new bike of mine is a beast, even by Gazelle’s standards! A comfy, practical and hardworking beast. Only my second Gazelle bike, but can’t see myself getting any other make of bike ever again.

Riding up Broadwater Rd with my son tonight was not fun. Choked with cars coming the other way with little to no space left for us. #Cycleway1 makes a mockery of safe, convenient cycle infrastructure. We’ve got to do better than this @willnorman.co.uk Haringey Council, TfL and Mike Hakata!

We’re all duped by ads from time to time, but buying a £20k car under the illusion that it’s an efficient transport option in a densely populated city is wild!

Interesting take here from a funeral procession driver. Apparently they don't have to let people cross at zebras! Who knew?

So close! There's hardly a person on Earth who'd expect that to happen! Doesn't even look like a school bus! Good thing I was going a sensible speed. Terrible judgement from the driver.
