The many cyclists in our fair borough...
As we head full pelt into election season, it’s pretty😯🤪🤯to think how far things have come in @citywestminster.bsky.social . For decades, this borough was the "missing link" in London’s cycle network. In 2026, it is starting to become the heart of it. Here’s why the shift here matters👇
As the "West Dulwich Action Group" launches a legal challenge against what they describe as a "rushed implementation of a cycleway" lets have a look at the history of this route...
Rosendale Road formed part of Quietly 7 which was announced in 2013 and was supposed to be built by 2016.....
106 vehicle hit-and-runs on cyclists in London in 2025 - zero arrests. Only prosecutions involved 4 drivers coming forward voluntarily after leaving scene says @lbc.co.uk news. "Absolutely unacceptable" says our senior policy officer, Tom Bogdanowicz, in response: www.lbc.co.uk/article/cycl... ...
Reminder of the Active Travel + Clean Air Hustings next week. An important opportunity to ensure that we have streets fit for all users and not just motorists

"Unsuspecting motorists have been ticketed for speeding on a country lane after not realising it has a 30mph limit."
Surely:
"Inattentive motorists have been ticketed for speeding for ignoring the 30mph limit."

While this Cycleway is great for residents of the new housing in the Royal Docks, we think everyone in Newham should be able to cycle in safety and comfort. That’s why our #StreetsForCycling campaign asks for a safe connected cycle network on 4 key corridors in our borough. action.lcc.org.uk/streets

Now the weather is finally improving, you might want to consider giving your bike an overhaul.
Whether you have been riding on wet and dirty roads with mud, grit and other debris or using it occasionally, it’s always a good idea to keep your bike clean.

Defending what ? Being shown up as a prat for being behind the wheel of one ?
Seven years today since @hammersmithbridge.bsky.social closed to motor traffic. Many happy returns to all who celebrate
Couldn't agree more !
(Looks at Paris and the Netherlands and Copenhagen and Belgium with envious eyes)
@thwheelers.bsky.social
Low-traffic schemes aren’t so toxic, after all LTNs became a culture-war battleground but the evidence now is that people rather like them
You have to hope that Emma Duncan and Andrew Ellson don't have have desks near each other.
[a slightly niche joke in honour of all those who endured the Twitter LTN chaos of a few years back]
A woman riding an electric cargo bike with a child seated in a safety seat behind her. She's riding down a street lined with residential buildings. The scene includes parked cars and a no-parking sign.
A woman rides a bicycle with two children seated in a rear child seat. A white delivery van labeled "Forestier" is in the lane next to them, while pedestrians and cars fill the street. There is greenery and buildings in the background
A cyclist with a child in a seat rides along a street lined with buildings. A delivery truck is in the lane next to them, and traffic lights are visible.
A man riding a bicycle is seen from behind, carrying two children in child seats on the back. The street features a bakery and a delivery van nearby, with trees and buildings lining the road.
A city can be judged by how comfortable its most vulnerable residents feel cycling on its roads.
It was very heartening to see so many parents carrying their children on their bikes on my way to work in Paris today.
Albert Bridge closes to walking, wheeling & cycling due to "movement" detected in bridge. metro.co.uk/2026/04/09/a...
While some politicians & residents want bridge reopened to cars, our @psimonk.bsky.social says we need "a grown-up conversation about all bridges & tunnels across the Thames"... 1/3
