Cycling to work, school & play should be quick and convenient and not put you in mortal danger. Here will be noise about this healthy transport choice.

A woman killed by a driver while waiting at a bus stop on Monday has been named by police. Chithra Vanmeeganathan, 46, died at the scene. Two others - a woman in her 30s and a 12-year-old boy - were taken to hospital for treatment. #VisionZero www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/m...

Not just at stations. Public buildings are all built on the cheap, with no concept of making them bearable. "This hideous new footbridge underlines the poor state of UK design" search.app/jYyUhGW6ddVr... Shared via the Google App

This is @haringeycouncil.bsky.social's idea of quality cycle infrastructure on a revised road layout scheme, completed today. Painted signs on roads designed around the needs of cars, and a shared-use pavement. Please tell me this is a joke @mikehakata.bsky.social @haringeycyclists.bsky.social. 😒

Research: Protected bike lanes result in approximate doubling of number of users in a network link. Roughly twice as many women as men become new users of a link when protected infrastructure is installed. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Woman waiting at bus stop killed and two others hurt in horror smash. History just keeps on repeating and nowhere near enough is being done to stop this from happening time and time again. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

East Sussex has some wonderful cycle routes (the Cuckoo Trail and coastal path between Bexhill and Hastings are among my favourites) but this scathing account exposes a woeful lack of ambition from the County Council.

Yesterday we launched our Children's Walking and Cycling Index report - the first of it's kind - in Parliament, at the All Party Parliamentary Group for Cycling and Walking. A huge thanks to Chris Boardman for speaking at the event.

📢 Last night LCC and @newhamcyclists.bsky.social took to Stratford High Street, calling for life saving changes to be made by TfL and Newham Council to the junctions there. 🧑‍💻 Help us keep the pressure on by sending just one email today. Head to our website to find out how: bit.ly/3QzFNAJ

New Camden Lime data just published: - 7% of Lime trips are motor vehicle replacement journies (Car/Taxi) - 12% of Lime rides are 'Just for Fun' :-)

Car Driver Kills Passenger Waiting at Bus Stop in London www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

London Buses Not Slower After 20 mph Limits www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

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.

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’

Current status at Highbury Fields. Was part of the alignment for the planned Quietway from Canonbury to Highgate (route alignment around Highbury Corner may have changed since).

The lack of any serious consequences for bad and risky driving contributes to danger on our roads and the terrible toll of road death and serious injury. The cost to society is huge we really should be paying this more attention. 👇

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... “Drivers can be super aggressive - nothing can get in their way. For some the car is an extension of their virility and if anyone touches their car … it’s taken as a personal attack.” #JeSuisPaulVarry

Good video from GCN on the safety risks of cycling, both real and perceived, as well as the difference in overall mortality rates between those who commute by car and bike. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDhG...

Paris 9th has recently finished a major redesign of Rue de Châteaudun adding a center island of trees & new bike lanes as part of the "greening" of Paris to fight climate change. #paris #urbanism #15minutecity #trees #bikes #climatechange #bikelanes #climateaction #greening #arbor #velo #paris9

“If you had to guess the leading cause of death for children and young people around the world, what would you say? Malaria perhaps? Pneumonia? Suicide? They’re all high up there, but no, it’s road collisions.” www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

So much this. The contrast with the time & energy it takes to try to figure out a vaguely safe route up here in the NE (& doubtless elsewhere) is striking. I cycled places I didn’t know today & worked between various map views to try to find a route that felt safe enough - but encountered all this:

Imagine my 12 year olds reaction to all the amazing cycle infrastructure in Amsterdam. Bear in mind she has grown up in Hackney where sticking a few trees next to a lethal road junction is seen as an amazing upgrade by the useless local council

Are you disabled and live in York or Cardiff? Do you have issues with access control barriers on traffic-free routes when walking, wheeling, or cycling? We are recruiting disabled participants for in person interviews to discuss their experiences. DM, comment, email if interested. 1/

I want to see a study that shows a key urban wellbeing indicator is the amount of 65 year old women wearing sundresses while biking. Video from lovely Milan.

I’m absolutely delighted the Leith Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) has been made permanent today. This is the right decision for Leith, and will help to lock in the traffic reductions, safer streets and cleaner air that this scheme has already delivered.

HOT RESEARCH NEWS! Motonormativity ("car brain") is a bias that stops people making rational judgements about driving en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motonor... Our new study shows where this bias comes from AND how it makes people think they're odd for supporting changes to the transport system 🧵

The next Camden Cycle Campaign Zoom mtg is on Monday at 19:30. LCC Members & non-members are welcome. Agenda: - Torriano Avenue - Camden High Street & Kilburn High Road - Crowndale Road & Chalk Farm Road - 1st March Rides; Kentish Town pedals & Dartmouth Park camdencyclists.org.uk/events/membe...

Calling all #Haringey residents!🚴‍♀️The council is inviting residents to share their views on how kerbsides can be improved to better serve the community. One area is increasing cycle parking to support sustainable transport and make cycling accessible for everyone.🌿 www.haringey.gov.uk/news/2025021...
