I dread this part of my journey. I often get beeped at while cycling along West Bank. I try to explain that the c’ lane is one-way, going North to South. Cyclists going the other way have to use the road. But seriously, who thinks it's okay to just park in the cycling lane?!🀬

Well, what do you know… 24 hours later, and yet another vehicle blocking the cycle lane. No wonder more kids don’t cycle. Maybe we need more bollards? πŸ€”

Another day, another car blocking the cycling lane 🚲πŸ’₯ Cycling lanes take up such a small % of the road, yet here we are again with cars blocking it πŸš²πŸ™„. We need to keep these spaces clear to ensure everyone can travel safely. πŸ™Œ

For those concerned about whether this is a designated cycle path – I cycled the same route today & took a πŸ“Έ. And, of course we can move round the car, but parking over cycling lanes creates ongoing challenges, esp for those who rely on these paths for safe &accessible travel.

Some say as winter approaches, people put their bikes away and stop cycling. But on this gorgeous October day, it seems like everyone’s still rolling! πŸ˜‰πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈ

Tottenham at its finest! πŸ‘‡πŸ’šπŸš² Pedaling to school = healthier kids, less traffic & greener planet! Cycling not only keeps kids active but also reduces congestion. Fewer cars on the road mean safer streets & smoother commutes for everyone. +it’s a fun way to start the day!πŸ™Œ

Cycling infrastructure should be consistent and safe. Part-time lanes create confusion and put cyclists and drivers at risk. Full-time, segregated lanes encourage more people to ride. For kids to cycle safely, they need routes free from cars and buses. πŸ™

I’ve found Low Traffic Neighbourhoods bring big benefits. 🌱 By reducing through-traffic, they create safer streets for pedestrians & cyclists & lower air pollution. They encourage more people to walk & cycle, boosting health & well-being. πŸ™Œ

It’s 5th Nov & I’m seeing loads of people still commuting by bike! Why? Even with the cold nipping close, cycling remains the cheapest, fastest, greenest way to get around. I’ve been cycling to work since β€˜09 & I’ve yet to see everyone put their bikes away during the winter πŸ₯Ά

One of these modes of transport is considered expensive, is used multiple times a day, and typically carries between 1 to 4 people. The other mode is parked 96% of the time and, statistically, carries only one person 60% of the time.

Cycling through London’s weather is still one of the most effective & efficient ways to get around. πŸš΄β€β™€οΈ Not only do you skip the traffic, but the fresh air keeps you energizedβ€”even in the drizzle! Plus, it’s often faster than public transport & driving for shorter journeys. πŸŒ§οΈβ˜”οΈ
