I know this area well, consistently agressive driving where a proposed traffic filter was put on hold after a local petition against it. This incident must have been terrifying for the family. At some point we need to ask: is the ability to drive through all roads at all times really worth the cost?

This happened to my little boy on Tuesday evening. Please sign and share to pressure Newham Council to make the streets safer for everyone, especially children.

A local resident has started a petition to push #NewhamCouncil to install an LTN that has been proposed since 2020 after her 3 year old son was hit by a driver trying to pass them on their way home from nursery. If the LTN had been in place, this would not have happened. chng.it/fdMjmQxkQw

It was fantastic to have Travis & Sigrid on our ride last week. Sigrid needs safe routes after dark too!

Transport is a gendered issue. Great to see our work - showing that in England, women made over a third more bus journeys than men - featured by @unison.org.uk. The severe cuts to bus routes have disproportionately affected women, especially in rural areas. magazine.unison.org.uk/2025/02/11/o...

More people were killed while walking on London's streets in October than were killed while cycling across the whole of last year. Let that sink in. If the Mayor and TfL are serious about targets to reduce road death to zero then this crisis of death on our roads must be treated as an emergency.

Really important bit of research. I hope #TfL will take heed. It highlights the route by #Millwall Stadium which frankly feels unsafe on foot or bicycle in the day, let alone after dark.

Brilliant to see improved #access and #inclusion for hire cycles with these passenger-carrying Forest bike models - such an important improvement!!! (Nobody under 16 can hire these & many Disabled ppl can’t ride solo, so passenger capacity is soooo important for many people)

💬 Have you ever cycled a historic route? Laura Laker & her friend Claire spent 3 days on Hadrian’s Cycleway. Starting in Whitehaven, they followed quiet roads and off-road paths, tracing Roman history through stunning landscapes from flat coasts to rolling hills. cyclinguk.org/riding-roman-roads

This is so key. Transport planners in most cities only consider the commute when they plan cycle routes. That’s not how you get more women on bikes. It’s also not how you stop people driving the school run!

I'm only halfway through @lauralaker.bsky.social's book but it's ruining my life. I've already planned a 68mi birthday ride to the coast, bought a pair of gravel tyres (never needed them before) and am considering taking an NCN path to a film shoot in Cumbria. DO NOT read this book. (5 stars.)

This is a good article, worth reading. Gigantic SUVs are a public health threat. Why don’t we treat them like one? The anti-smoking playbook is worth studying and learning from, and is completely applicable to oversized cars. Via @davidzipper.bsky.social in @vox.com #CarBloat

Unbelievable to see people who claim to care about social environmental justice jubilant about the vandalism of liveable streets in Tower Hamlets. They claim to support equality and to be motivated to improve bus times. Clueless hypocrites- here is what TfL experts said about removing the scheme...

17-year-long Scottish study of 82,000+ adults finds commuting by bike reduces your risk of: • early death • hospitalisation for any reason • cardiovascular disease • cancer mortality • treatment for mental health problems. Yeah, but those LTNs and bike lanes are really annoying.
