Ever been riding with someone new to biking or from out of town and you feel it's your personal responsibility to protect them and keep them safe the entire ride? Would be really great if our cities felt like this.

An incredible thing has happened in Westminster’s Connaught Village this week - there’s hardly any traffic at all! This is music to our ears, it’s what we’ve always wanted. Turn up the sound, for the sound of NO MOTOR TRAFFIC! 🎶 It’s because a road is currently closed. - 1/5

London needs a safe, connected cycle network! Great to see tri-borough momentum: Haringey, Islington and Hackney cabinet leads + LCC members visited the incomplete C50 route which ends dangerously at Finsbury Park bridge. Hi @willnorman.co.uk + @sebdance.bsky.social how soon can you start here?

Global Cycling Network look at the need for political will if we're to deliver environments that are more hospitable to #activetravel www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4pO...

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

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.

We had our first HCC in-person meet up of the year, last week, and we recognised everyone’s tireless work for change. Now the big question: how to get these cycle infrastructure plans – currently “sitting in a drawer in the town hall” – out onto people’s desks, and built on our streets?

👀 👀 👀 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

In December, we at @haringeycyclists.bsky.social won two awards at the LCC bash. Ben House and I cycled in to collect them, but we wanted to make sure the appreciation reached the right people. So on Tuesday, at our first real life meet of the year, we did our own awards ceremony … 1/7

He goes on: “My understanding is that there are designs for this but that they’re sitting in a drawer in town hall”. Hmmm. It’s about time someone whipped those designs out and got building isn’t it! Jump to 5 mins in for the Haringey bit … 4/5 youtu.be/igvYHUiv5mE

And my piece is here. I was limited to 500 words so it won’t take you long to race through … 5/5 www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/2581323...

Public reporting deters crime. We urge it for burglary, assault, fraud — so why not road danger?? Reporting helps tackle reckless driving and save lives. The Daily Mail mocking this as “villainy” misses the point. Accountability on our roads protects everyone. www.the-londoner.co.uk/jeremy-vine-...

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

One of our members, Carla Francome, has written about @mikehakata.bsky.social's departure in the Ham and High - one line of his resignation letter has piqued our interest. And it’s all about the future plans.

The @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social gives his take on what isn't working on Green Lanes for cyclists. A space that isn't bicycle friendly despite its important place in borough's transport infrastructure.

Not long until our yearly social / fundraising céilidh! www.tickettailor.com/events/hackn... Dinner and dancing, perfect to chase away the January blues.

Just when you thought #Cycleway1 couldn’t get any worse! It was awful enough that the route takes us through a seedy alleyway, but Haringey Council thought it would go one further and install these barriers!!! Good luck to cargo bike riders. Depressing. @willnorman.co.uk @mikehakata.bsky.social

Looks like we're not hanging our helmets up any time soon. Our top two Dangerous Junctions have been on our to-do list for years. Nothing is happening. We need to get noisy. @london.gov.uk and @islington-council.bsky.social need to step up cycleislington.uk/2025/islingt...

Our @psimonk.bsky.social got rather excited about news London now seeing average 1.5 million journeys cycled daily this morning: bsky.app/profile/lond.... Now here's his slightly calmer & more detailed analysis: lcc.org.uk/news/1-5-mil... covering funding case, outer v inner London & a lot more.

Lack of political will in London is perhaps most starkly visible in inaction around London's most #DangerousJunctions 1. We have 3 years in a row highlighted ratrun cluster in Wandsworth as the most dangerous in London, where ratruns cross main road cycle tracks. The same Cycle Superhighway, CS7...

' ... any junction, no matter how complicated, can be made safe with political will' So where is the political will to make the Finsbury Park gyratory safe ? @london.gov.uk @haringeycyclists.bsky.social @hackneylcc.bsky.social youtu.be/pYHVj9JRzGY

Brilliant to see my daughter Sabine’s first article in print in the Ham & High www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/255880..., telling her story about the day she stopped waiting for the bus – and started saving £1,000 a year. 1/7

📣 Callout: Do you have a good idea💡or a story about cycling 🚲 in Haringey? Know someone with an unusual experience? Or a real talent for cycling? Or who’s found an unusual route? We’re collecting local stories for our next newsletter and local magazines – all ideas welcome!

My 5 top tips are: 1. Fit mudguards and mudflaps. 2. Keep it clean. A regular soapy wash is great 3. Keep it lubed. 4. Keep tyres inflated to almost the max pressure. 5. Swap derailleur gears for hub gears. www.theguardian.com/thefilter/20...

🔔 I’ve written a brand new piece for the Ham and High about why children in Haringey need a safe habitat for cycling 🔔 It’s absolutely chock full of polar bear puns 🐻‍❄️🐻 It’s about a family ride to visit animal murals, that Haringey Cycling organised last month. So many children … 1/8

Don't let anyone tell you people don't cycle in Haringey...figures from Forest & Lime show over 278,000 rides this July in the borough and that doesn't include people riding their own bikes. We need more infrastructure to support pedal power in Haringey www.minutes.haringey.gov.uk/documents/s1...

Thanks to everyone who came along to yesterday's ride and the volunteers who made it such a big success. We'd love to see more cycle friendly infrastructure in Haringey, making it safer for everyone to cycle around the borough and not just on our #communityrides

Great to see how you've ignited the discussion Carla. @willnorman.co.uk's latest map highlights the big hole in Haringey: no new cycleway network here in a decade – Green Lanes is glaringly absent. Has Haringey's Streets for People plan stalled? Political will? bsky.app/profile/will...

My Ham and High piece has been featured on Harringay Online and has 5 pages of comments. What I’ve realised recently is how many regular folks around here are looking for a safe cycle route. A local mum told me in the playground the other day that … /1 harringayonline.com/forum/topics...

Big shout out to Carla Francome for bringing the hostile environment of Green Lanes for cyclist in the Ham&High www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/2539380... #safercycling

Kudos to Carla and all those that write to their local papers and elected officials about road safey: www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/2539380...

Because it's ok for my life to be constantly put in danger so people can store their large items of personal property.

Read this 🧵 to the end "Because inertia costs lives. And we’ve had enough. "

We agree! 😱 Green Lanes, like too many main roads in London, remains hostile & dangerous for cycling @carolinerussell.bsky.social's brilliant report on Vision Zero needs Mayor, TfL and councils to act, now, to avoid more families & lives ruined london.gov.uk/sites/defaul...
