Great to join @simonlightwood @_petermason to look at the new walking & cycling infrastructure in Northolt. Interesting listening to a local business owner talking about how these improvements were helping trade. And always a pleasure to see the brilliant @GoSouthall community.

I’ve just cycled from Vauxhall to Battersea Power Station and am v impressed with @tfl’s new temporary cycle lane protecting cyclists as the construction takes place for the permanent infrastructure.

Everyone deserves safe, accessible transport. That’s why we’re extending e-scooter trials to 2028 and expanding them to new towns to learn how best to regulate them. We’re also looking at our mobility aid laws so disabled people can use the devices they need for independence.

Great to visit @forestbike_uk and see their e-bike operation this morning. Good discussions about the growth of cycling in London, the importance of maintenance for safety, parking and regulations.

Cycling is a great way to explore London - especially in summer. With Santander Cycles, you can enjoy unlimited 60-minute rides with a Day Pass for only £3.50. They're green, clean, cheap & fun. It's no wonder we had over 35,000 hires yesterday 😎🚲 Give them a go!

Since 2017 we've been asking governments for powers to regulate dockless bikes. I'm delighted the new government have included this in the English devolution bill. Dockless e-bikes are well-used & popular - with new powers we'll tackle parking issues & make them safer for all.

🔄 The great power shift begins today. For too long, Whitehall spreadsheets decided your area's future. Not anymore. The English Devolution Bill puts YOU in control: 🏗️ Speed up housing delivery 🗳️Stronger neighbourhood voice 📈 Local growth plans that work
