Campaigners are calling on Westminster City Council "to get a move on" in providing safe, parallel cycle lanes to Oxford Street. road.cc/news/cycling...

He wants to spend it filling in potholes for drivers and denying people transport choices doesn't he?

Having no safe way to cycle round is way less than an imperfect safe way to cycle round.

It should have been delivered as part of the scheme to be available from day one.

⏰️ It's time for a bold, green budget that brings down bills, tackles inequality and works to protect our environment. Will Labour deliver?

🚲🚶‍♂️ Our CEO Tom Fyans down at the new pedestrianised Oxford Street this morning... 👍 We're all in favour of this move, but where are our safe alternate cycle routes?! 👨‍💻 Send an email to Westminster Council to ask them to start work on new safe cycle routes near Oxford Street: buff.ly/Fhm8R18

There has to be proper parallel route for cycling without having to dodge the beemers driven at speed, ASLs properly enforced, ban illegal car parking in Wigmore St. Plus #begbuttons for those traversing by motor rather than for those walking on the main drag. And open to cycling 20.00 to 07.00

*** New blog post *** Yes. I have posted about floating bus stops again. Well, sort of. It's more complicated than that. therantyhighwayman.blogspot.com/2026/10/its-...

The media have ignored the Covid Inquiry outcome. All those deaths directly caused by Johnson and Hancock ignoring advice. They need banging up. But we are moving on. Because the media say we should. Failed 6yrs on by our media colluding with the vile Tories. Never forget.

Elephant & castle today... Another child injured by drivers. One of 15000 kids killed & injured by drivers every year. Yet BOM wages war on road safety for kids. Time to free the press from billionaire capture. MediaFreedomAct.org/take-actìon

This article fails to ask the question of whether we actually need this bridge for cars www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Why do drivers always act so surprised when caught? Is it because they know they are doing wrong, and simply think there aren't enough police to catch them? youtu.be/gUgkykHy5HU

UK lacks essential electricity transmission/storage systems. Billions paid to solar & wind turbine farms to switch off during periods of high sunshine/winds, expected to cost £8bn a year by 2030. National Grid pays dividends. What is the Govt doing? Watch the Minister's reply.

Why does the government not provide ministers with logo free PPE rather than take the corporate branding?

A least she is honest enough to wear her sponsor's logo.

There needs to be enforceable standards or parents with pushchairs, children, and people with mobility issues, and literally every pedestrian will have their safety put at risk by their remaining limited area being invaded by car infrastructure.

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding bikes, yet 66% of people did so while driving. And perhaps even more importantly, if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com

Lime sent me a parking warning for this parking in Highbury Crescent on Tuesday. Apparently I need to check the app as boroughs don’t allow Lime in all parking bays. It’s such a confusing mess and a pan-London scheme can’t come soon enough.

So it is just to line the pockets of the fossil fuel corporations then. Well now we know who labour cares about and it isn't you and me.

“Cycle jousting seems like an entirely sensible sport in the grand scheme of things” Lime says its bikes are designed for cycling, not jousting and warns “safety must always come first” after viral medieval mischief

The Energy Secretary says North Sea drilling “won’t take a penny off energy bills.” The Health Secretary says summer heatwaves put pressure on the NHS. So where’s the Government’s impact assessment? If they don’t have one, they should delay the decision on drilling for oil & gas until they do.

Between 2021 and 2025, around 2 million cyclists passed the floating bus stops on Leith Street, Edinburgh, and around 5 million bus passengers boarded or alighted here. No injuries have been recorded. Over the same period, drivers injured around 600 Edinburgh pedestrians, killing 16.

Switzerland has recognized that adjusting parking space markings to accommodate increasingly large cars would result in the loss of one-sixth of available parking spaces. Consequently, resident parking permits are no longer issued for vehicles that are too large.

‘It’s the best feeling’: how Copenhagen gave cyclists a green wave. “Traffic lights are synchronised so a rush-hour cyclist at 20km/h can catch green lights all the way.” If you want people to choose not to drive, make the non-driving trip better & easier for them. It’s as simple as that, really.

Amazing that councils can find these powers when they want to. Now do cars you cowards. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I wonder how many dead cyclists is the right number for them

Apparently at around 1:30 PM ET, the main accounts for the No Kings coalition on Instagram were frozen and pulled down. Admins have lost access to the account and are unable to log in. This happened at the peak of the organization's national day of action. Instagram, of course, is owned by Meta.

Hey @ldntravelwatch.bsky.social, two questions: 1) Can you publish your actual tangible alternative designs? 2) What is your optimum number of dead cyclists? We need @london.gov.uk and @willnorman.co.uk to take them to one side for a chat

UK's dysfunctional power grid. Yesterday Scotland had over capacity. Rather than provide free energy in Scotland, the turbines were switched off, then gas turbines switch on in the South of England. Then EVERYONE in Scotland pays for electricity like it's gas. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Public drivers from San Luis Potosí, Mexico, were put on bicycle to know how bad it is to pass by scraping cyclists. Original post

It either complies with EAPC regulations, in which case it is an ebike, or it is a motor vehicle. There is no grey area in the eyes of the law. So anything that exceeds the limits placed on it by those regulations is an emoto/electric motorcycle; not an ebike.

Have they even asked people who don't drive for their views? Removing cars makes everywhere safer and more pleasant. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It will be a long long wait ......sadly put in 'too difficult' bucket for others to solve. Most dangerous junction in Islington. @hackneycycling.org.uk @haringeycyclists.bsky.social @london.gov.uk @londoncycling.bsky.social

Council Grant Gives Community Nurses E-bike Access www.transportnottingham.com/council-gran...

“If every cyclist did this, Toronto would be closed for business. And Doug Ford might realise bike lanes were not just for the safety of cyclists, but for the convenience of motorists”

Using the word e-bike to do with any kind of discussion around enforcement against illegally operated motor vehicles creates confusion and deliberately implies that bicycles are the problem.

Those of us sensitive to the damage misleading terms can cause would appreciate it if you described these as 'Electric motorbikes' Scott. E-BIkes are as we know legal, safe and an incredible game changer re urban transport. Every one one of your committee's problems comes from Electric motorbikes.

And yet here we are in Islington rowing back on promises to put LTNs in the whole Borough. What a shameful lack of ambition in the face of all the evidence. I would tag LBI but they aren't here, preferring The Other Place. Says it all.

Just 3 yr suspended sentence for driver who hit an oncoming motorcyclist at 70mph and killed them whilst he was showing off at a car meet. And a 6 yr driving ban. Pitiful really www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
