🙃 TOO WEAK SADIQ 🙃 "The simple truth is that safety & mode shift lose out to ‘easing’ traffic flow." TfL plans for London's 2nd most dangerous junction don't meet Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan Sadiq Khan's own cycling design standards. 👇👇👇SIGN THE PETITION action.lcc.org.uk/tooweaksadiq

Panorama's attack on ebikes tonight (bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…) nails some of issues but little of solutions. Our view: 1. ebikes are brilliant. They enable a far wider range of people to cycle more journeys, which is vital for public health, climate and road danger outcomes... 1/7

While jonn elledge is mainly on bluesky highlights good points in this opinion piece and we'd recommend a read, we disagree with the assertion that "The real barriers to such schemes, alas, is the public." Here's why... 1/7 🧵 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

'Strong' leaders are what people tend to vote when they feel hopeless, that all they can do is protect what they have from feared 'outsiders'. 'Soft' leaders is what we need. Doesn't matter how staged photo is, this is what we need more of, not despots, tyrants & demagogues ...

1/4 of TfL signed, supposedly 'high-quality' Cycleway network in London is not inclusive for women after dark & in winter. This IMO mostly because TfL & especially boroughs are making weak decisions on routes to avoid impacting motor traffic. *Big* report from London Cycling Campaign...

Cars are getting 1cm wider every two years. That may not sound much, but over time it adds up, and it's showing no signs of slowing down. That's #carspreading for you. If you've spotted this trend in your city, snap a pic and tag us. Then head to cleancitiescampaign.org/carspreading to

In journalism it's important to reflect both sides of an argument, to listen, to try and understand nuance and different perspectives, to be aware of your own bias.  But sometimes it's also important to state facts, and to call out facts that are not true

We should not have to be here, and yet we must be here tonight. Last month, a young man in his twenties was killed cycling in Stratford.   🪧 Tonight we've come together to call on TfL and Newham Council to work together to rapidly improve the junctions along this route so that

You can see the anti-ULEZ, anti-LTN, anti-cycling, anti-woke, anti-evidence folks frothing over this already sadly. But not only did this bold move work, we need a lot more if we are to tackle pollution, inactivity, road danger, climate emissions...

📅 We're just over a year into Sadiq Khan's third, and most likely final term, as Mayor of London, so how's he been doing on cycling and active travel in these 12 months? In short, not great. Read our full verdict over on our website... 👇

The shocking thing here is that this is by miles not the most #DangerousJunction in Haringey. But it's still a horror that TfL & council have ignored for too long. Bus gate for Brownlow would be a good start & lots could be done fast as a trial. The kid that was hit lived but...

Sadiq delivered major progress in 1st 2 terms, but seems to have slowed down in 3rd. His own targets on road danger, emissions, mode share will be missed if he doesn't re-find his mojo, move faster & 'Dare To Dream'. Take the 1 minute action for London Cycling Campaign today please...
