@richmondcycling.bsky.social sounds like a good idea.

Living in Richmond? Thought about a cargo bike to get the kids around? Come along to our Cargos & Cakes event on #Twickenhamgreen to find out more. Meet local families who use them every day, and give one a try! *Friday 26th Sept 3-5.30pm* @rtfoe.bsky.social @richmondcycling.bsky.social

🤔 Tube strike forcing you to rethink the commute? 🚴 Don't put yourself through the painfully slow bus or the painfully overpacked train - make the most of the September sun and ride into work! You never know, you might actually enjoy it... 👀

Comparing the vibe of Richmond park where cars are allowed to where they are banned (on weekends at least), I really don’t see how cyclists are supposed to be a problem in the park. @richmondcouncil.bsky.social @richmondcycling.bsky.social

Looks like something that we should raise for every attempt to facilitate electric cars . @richmondcycling.bsky.social @alexanderehmann.bsky.social

#pedestrianiastion never works. Allegedly. Church Street in #Twickenham, closed to motors some yrs back. Yes an event but how did all these pple get here when they can’t park?? It’s a conundrum. Well done @richmondcouncil.bsky.social - more please. @richmondcycling.bsky.social @londonls.bsky.social

Story from Chris Whitty at this conference: his warning that culture war-based coverage of cycling based on stereotypes of middle-aged men in Lycra could harm health because it shifts focus away from the people and communities who most benefit from activity, www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

@richmondcycling.bsky.social Ride for Everyone this Sunday. A short, low-traffic, morning ride from Twickenham Station at 10.30. Suitable for all ages. richmondcycling.org.uk/richmond-rid...

It's not that it can't be done, just that companies won't do anything they don't have to. Government needs to actually do its job for its citizens, not pander to corporate money.

@richmondcycling.bsky.social Richmond council officers told us that this was impossible.

The #RoyalPark is always at the top of their game when it comes to accommodating drivers. Parking and cycling out of designated path is prohibited due as it causes soil erosion / destroy wildlife. #RichMondPark #Conservation #Nature CC: @richmondcycling.bsky.social @richmondpkcyclists.bsky.social

We’ve seen a 63% growth in cargo bikes across London, with more & more businesses recognising that switching van journeys to bikes isn’t just good for the environment, but saves them time & money. Great to meet handymanstation.co.uk in Richmond today.

Granted, it’s not quite a Taylor Swift concert - but amazing to be on the UK’s first cargo bike stage. Yes! The stage we are sitting on is a cargo bike - the first in the UK. veloconcerts.com

Reminder - Cargo bike fair tomorrow at Old Deer Park: richmond.gov.uk/services/roa...

We've installed another three new simple zebra crossings, this time near Edgware Road. Without them drivers yield to pedestrians around 40% of the time. With them, it's around 80%. (Based on monitoring results from our first 4 sites)

Free guided #cycle ride this weekend with our friends at @richmondcycling.bsky.social And you don't even need own a bike - you can hire one for free: www.tickettailor.com/events/richm...

Paris bike lanes: pretty great!

The flags of the EU are out in force in Richmond upon Thames this week.

What a ride 🚲☀️ Huge thanks to everyone who joined us for yesterdays's London Cycling Festival. We had an amazing time 💚 We were joined by @richmondcycling.bsky.social @richmondcouncil.bsky.social and Wandsworth council for this fantastic ride!

Time to dust off your old bike (or use a free Lime Bike if it's just too dusty!): lcc.org.uk/events/richm... Thanks for organising @richmondcycling.bsky.social @londoncycling.bsky.social

So glad to see that Hammersmith bridge reopened. I hope there will soon be public transport options as well, then it’s perfect 👏 @hfcouncil.bsky.social @transportforlondon.bsky.social @london.gov.uk @wearepossible.bsky.social @richmondcycling.bsky.social @fleuranderson.bsky.social

Last week, @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social spoke at BCP Council's Transport Conference about "Movement, Space, Choice and Place". There is now a blog post on our website about the talk with a link to his slides. cityinfinity.co.uk/2025/04/01/m... 1/2

🤩 We're buzzing to hear from the one and only Laura Laker at our Community Skills Summit this Saturday! 💻 Places are still available, so get booked on today: bit.ly/3FCbvv6

The Colney Lane fiasco isn't going away. @roadcc.bsky.social report on our latest video, which showcases the dangerous junction, and was branded "an 8-minute masterclass on all that is wrong about UK roundabout design" by @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social road.cc/content/news...

Just saw that Richmond council is looking for input on their transport strategy. Make sure to let them know you’d like to see safer streets for walking wheeling and cycling or point them at a concrete change you’d like to see ➡️ richmondtransportstrategy.commonplace.is @richmondcycling.bsky.social

🚲 KEW ECOFAIR BIKE FESTIVAL 🚴‍♀️ Come to Kew EcoFair *this Sat 22nd March* at St Luke’s Church, Kew 🙌 💚 Free bike health checks from London Cycle Workshop💚 Cargo bikes to try from Cycle Race 💚 @richmondcycling.bsky.social w/ local cycling tips! And @jeremyvine.bsky.social with his Pennyfarthing! 🤩

@richmondcycling.bsky.social An interesting summary. Local celebrity Virginia Woof as Mr Toad !

The lift system at Teddington station is finally working. Essential for wheelchair users and a boon for pram pushers but also handy for families from SE Teddington cycling to Bushy Park and wanting to avoid main roads. @richmondcycling.bsky.social

We love @rbgkew.bsky.social in the Springtime. Bulbs as far as the eye can see:

A testament to the popularity of cycling in London shows that, given a choice, many people prefer to cycle. It makes sense to reclaim some of the vast space occupied by cars: ‘Almost 200 car parking spaces in central London are to be permanently converted into parking bays for dockless e-bikes’

We should not have to be here, and yet we must be here tonight. Last month, a young man in his twenties was killed cycling in Stratford.   🪧 Tonight we've come together to call on TfL and Newham Council to rapidly improve the junctions along this route. Change is needed. Now.

Great article - full of hope for a #plasticfree future

The #driver of this flatbed hooted, tailgated incessantly from #LeybornePk to #KewGreen at 4.30. It’s clearly a #ratrun which needs closing @richmondcycling.bsky.social @londonls.bsky.social. Scary for me, imagine w Kids, schools all around there.

Sometimes people ask why I advocate for greater investment in active travel. One massive reason is that I was lucky enough to go to Kesgrave High School. I experienced transport independence as a child. And I want that for my children, and others. #activetravel @chrisboardman.bsky.social

Thanks @richmondcycling.bsky.social & Richmond @livingstreets.bsky.social for hosting last night's Active Travel Event with @willnorman.co.uk. One key takeaway is how joined-up infrastructure is vital to inspire behavioural change & help Londoners bring more walking & cycling into everyday journeys.
