And just like that, more than a decade of bike repair workshops in Deptford at Ron Hoskin Hall come to an end. Thanks to everyone who's helped over the years. Mechanics, Volunteers and supporters. You're all wonderful. Here's to the next chapter, wherever that is.

During summer if I post a video of #Cycleway4 often the football fans and the anti-active travel brigade will retort with comments along the lines of wait until it is wet and freezing in January. Well, here it is and it seems the cyclists using the cycle lane outnumber the cars.

At least 8 people on bicycles occupy the space for 1 modern car. This is efficiency; this is the future of cities. Build more cycle infrastructure, as not everyone can or wants to drive

The root cause of congestion in London is the excessive number of private cars + the inefficiency of travelling in a vehicle that is, on average, 1.8 m wide x 4 m long, statistically transporting 1 adult 60% of the time It's not cycle lanes It's not 20 mph zones It's not LTNs

Reece McKinven reversed over an 83-year old grandmother FOUR times, killing her. He had no licence, no insurance, Cannabis in his system + a history of driving offences. He received a 13 month sentence + 2.5 year driving ban. The system is not working. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Illegal parking / waiting endemic across Lewisham Town Centre - Lewisham Council continue to ignore it despite resident complaints. Every car (minus taxi) parked illegally in this video - impressive given no CPZ restrictions on a Sunday.

"Cycling is not a practical daily travel option for most people" In 2022, 26% of car trips in the UK were shorter than 1 mile, and 71% were under 5 miles. A 5-mile bike ride takes around 30 minutes. Provide people with the option to cycle and build more safe infrastructure

Men who campaign against cycle lanes and LTNs are campaigning against the freedom of women and children to walk and cycle on safer roads in London. They are waging war on women and children. It is that simple. LTNs work for women and children.

You can either use road space efficiently, or you can have cars. Transporting 200 people: 🚌 in busses (0:31 minutes) 🚋 in trams (0:32 minutes) 🚶 walking (0:38 minutes) 🚲 biking (1:59 minutes) 🚗 driving (4:08 minutes 😱)
