Solve The School Run

On #cleanairday2025, your regular reminder that.. ‼️The London primary school run causes 480,000 car trips per day ‼️School term time has been linked to a 50% increase in nitrogen dioxide between 7-10am (Herne Hill junction) #cleanair #airpollution #solvetheschoolrun

Brilliant to join up with @AirRosendale on last Friday’s glorious #bikebus. Hundreds of children cycle to school in West Dulwich facing close passes and road danger every day. These children deserve their bike lane - @WestDulwichLab please don’t keep them waiting! #cycling

Brilliant to be part of this coalition of Lambeth children asking the council to take action to reduce the number of SUVs on our streets. 75% of primary pupils in London walk or cycle to school and giant SUVs are a growing threat to their safety. bit.ly/4kJ4nM8

It can be easy to think of the school run as an intractable problem that can’t be solved. And then you go to France, Bordeaux to be precise, and it’s school run time, but there’s not really any traffic, and everything seems very calm…… #cargobikes #schoolrun #parentinghacks

Another car crash in Dulwich, this morning on Half Moon Lane. We only post about a fraction of the incidents on our roads. In London there are 23,000 collisions each year, resulting in 3500 seriously injured and over 100 fatalities. Where is the media outrage at this?

Celebrating our busy bike lane for #bettertransportweek2025. Situated in #westdulwich it helps so many people get to work, school & nursery safely. We’re very grateful to @lambeth_council, @RezinaChowdhury & we look forward to it being extended #saferoutes #schoolrun @TfL

🚗480,000 morning car trips in London are school runs. That’s nearly half a million short, polluting journeys - everyday. But it doesn’t have to be this way: Walking buses Cargo bikes School streets Shared travel Better for the planet & your pocket. Let’s #SolveTheSchoolRun

Happening this Friday in Belair park, Dulwich! Join us for an after school chat to find out more about cargo bikes and give one a try. We’ll have info on options to suit all budgets. Plus free cake! 🍰 #cargobike #schoolrun #parenting

It’s national walking month.. ☀️ And whilst we encourage families to try walking to school in the sunshine… 🦓 We mainly encourage local authorities & the government to give children safe routes to school. #nationalwalkingmonth #saferoutes #cleanair

It’s national walking month… 👉In London 75% of primary pupils already walk to school. 👉Nationally this figure is 55%. Parents all over the country are doing things like this 👇…begging local authorities for safer crossings. Families want safe walks to school.

Hiring an electric cargo bike by the minute is now a reality also in NW3! Parked outside the @WacArts centre in Belsize park you can find a @OurBikeUK cargo bike and start your cargo bike journey today! 😊 🚴‍♀️ #cycling #cargobike

All children should be able to walk to school safely. The fact that authorities are now going school by school, street by street to implement school streets & zebra crossings (if they are doing this at all) shows how badly we’ve let down children. We need safe streets for kids
