LTNs save lives. Cycle lanes save lives and make sustainable and healthy transport more inclusive. if you object to LTNs and cycle lanes you’re a sociopath 😊
Just fabulous to see so many people out enjoying Hammersmith Bridge on Easter Sunday. 🥰 Hard to imagine six years ago this had 20,000+ motor vehicles on it every day. 😊 Now it is dedicated to walking and wheeling 👍
Stops and NFBUK have zero footage of cyclists failing to stop for blind people at any pedestrian crossing in the country. When Stops stood on the tactile crossing filming Andrew from NFBUK in Chiswick crossing the cycle lane the cyclist stopped for him.
Well, in the first one the kid just runs into the cycle lane without looking. There's a zebra crossing just ahead but he doesn't use it 🤷🏻♀️ User error, not structural error. Second one is essentially the same. Not stopping for a blind person is something else!
This is the best response these flat-earthers could muster to the evidence that LTNs reduce road casualties by 35% after days of deliberation. Deprived people live in LTNs and travel through them. And the most deprived areas in London are LTNs (Council Estates). Debate is over
The recent report from Rachel Aldred's Active Travel Academy found casualties fell in LTNs. But there's a strong argument the focus on LTNs gets in the way of efforts to cut overall casualties. The focus should be on deprived areas.
Just ride your bike to work like all the best people in London
Looking forward to the debate tonight on this motion, bringing in emissions- and weight-based charges for car parking in Richmond. The road danger that #SUVs bring must be tackled.
Stops is having such a tantrum about the latest short stretch of safe cycling infrastructure to be installed on a dangerous A road in South London. The silly old fool had obviously got himself excited that he’d finally found a way to stop cycle lanes being built 🤭
There are still some men who think because they are comfortable cycling with buses on A roads that everybody else should be too including elderly and disabled, women and children. Thankfully we have moved on from this outdated view and are now making cycling inclusive.
Personally, as a cyclist, I would be happy to continue to use the bus lane, rather than have a dedicated 2-way track, but would feel safer if the bus lane was widened at bus stops so that cycles could pass stopped-buses on the right whilst staying in the bus lane.
This latest edition of... 'School-Run-Mum Weekly' "Someone had the audacity to ask me to switch my engine off today. I had to walk all the way back to my car to do that!"
This is probably the most cringeworthy anti-cycling political video I have seen. Vote Tory for more cars, more pollution and more road casualties.
Want different transport policies, want to remove the parklets and prevent chicanes from being built on Wandsworth Bridge Road then switch your vote away from Labour @LBHF at the next election. @HFConsCllrs have created this amusing video. hfconservatives.org.uk/campaigns/dema…
No. It is not a “factual statement” that “cycle lanes cause congestion because they take space from cars”. It is an ignorant tenet of the anti-cycling lobby that crumbles at the flimsiest scrutiny. Anti-cycling people are stupid. This group has learned nothing in four years.
We simply made a factual statement that a cycle lane usually takes space from cars in reply to a question. We did not say or imply that therefore no cycle lanes should be built. It was the poisoness @OpenChiswickW4 who chose to interpret in that absurd way.
Look! They are bonkers. They are literally campaigning to divert HGVs off red routes and main roads with double yellow lines, central hatching, signalled pedestrian crossings etc down these narrow side streets with parking either side. Finally they show us how mad they are.
It is always only a matter of time before these anti-cycling accounts give up the pretence of reasonableness. Finally @SocEnvJustice is comfortable admitting they oppose all safe cycling infrastructure. Why couldn’t they just admit this four years ago?
Social and environmental justice 👇
Ghent is a city facing similar challenges. To address them equitably, they are executing bottom-up initiatives like facade/street gardens and planter beds, and top-down projects like the green climate axes that form permanent links between the centre and surrounding rural areas.
Oh no middle-class reporters working for Rupert Murdoch will have to drive their SUVs the long way round in inner London so that fewer people are killed and injured by rat running drivers on urban side streets. Madness 😊
Main road traffic belongs on main roads. Most of the traffic cutting through Hackney is not local
More plans to increase segregation in what is already one of the most traffic segregated boroughs in London. Hackney has published plans for its Dalston LTN. Will ease traffic on some roads at the expense of others. consultation.hackney.gov.uk/streetscene/da…
LTNs reduce road casualties by 35%. And this plan creates priority for buses. The only people still opposing LTNs are sociopaths who want more pedestrians to be run over by cars.

Great to see the Streatham Hill cycle lane works finally getting going. First the cycle lane and bus priority on the A23. And then the return of the Streatham Wells LTN. One day Streatham might be as nice as Dulwich 😊 brixtonblog.com/significant-de…
Thoughts and prayers with @JoannaBiddolph and @johnjohnstewart who have to cope with the news today that The Telegraph’s number one recommendation for improving London is to pedestrianise the whole of the west end. 😊
Are they saying that two residents objecting to a CPZ is grounds to reject it in Brixton? Ha ha! Desperate stuff from the car lobby.
You claimed there was high opposition. You now want to treat high indifference as opposition. Make your mind up.
This carefully edited video from No Fucking Bikes UK shows numerous benign human scale interactions between pedestrians and cyclists on a bus boarder. People are cycling responsively and carefully and there are no collisions with bus passengers. Looks great to me 👍
