A damning critique of @hackneycouncil.bsky.social redevelopment at Pembury Junction. £19m being spent on a new design that fails basic 🚲safety audits. How can we expect other authorities to get it right if Hackney doesn't bother? 🧵

Right I'll do a little bit of reporting from today's #LabourWalksCycles25 event in Leicester. We've kicked off with Geoff Whittle, assistant Mayor who has inspired us with what the city has been up to in terms of change.

Cities full of cycle parking for all are quick and easy wins. If your neighbourhood doesn't have any, ask your council why not? #Hackney

London’s Vision Zero action plan is being updated. It’s a chance for the Mayor and TfL to show they get why their Vision Zero plan matters and to make it robust enough to challenge the motor normativity that prioritises convenience of people in cars over the safety of people on foot and on bikes.

It is 10 years since Stephanie Turner was tragically killed cycling in Hackney on Seven Sister Road. Nothing about the road layout where she was killed has changed. www.hackneycitizen.co.uk/2015/01/27/v...

I'm sure I'm not the first, but how long can Met Police and other govt depts carry on using Twitter in an official manner? How can Londoners trust a force that is using a tool run by a fascist?

Cycle lanes create the space for those with mobility scooters to go further independently. Why are we still arguing about if these are good things?

I love cycling. If I'm ever killed by a motorist; whether through negligence, weakness, or their own deliberate fault... I hope no one says I died doing what I loved. Instead let people say I was interrupted doing what I loved, and killed by a motorist.

Cycling as a mobility aid, far more common than you would think #cycling #infrastructure

Only a small number of cyclist and pedestrian fatalities attract media coverage because the names of the victims are nowadays rarely made public. We’ve written about Harry Webb several times. Now the Government knows his name. This is why journalism matters. www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/h...

Not great here @arsenalfc.bsky.social big crowd still not seated after KO due to terrible crowd control. Blocks not opened despite being sold. Really poor #UEFA #WCL #ARSJUV

Work as intended vs work as done. A good example of why it's important to factor human behaviour into design. Also vertical bike racks are bullshit #bikes #design #desireline

Because Hackney Council LTNs made safe cycling routes we were able to get rid of our car & cycle our kids (& their friends) around. It isn’t rocket science - make alternatives safe & attractive & people will use them
