@NewhamCyclists @thameswater @TfL Went past this by car and it wasn’t great, really surprising to see lack of cycling provision at the pinch point here.

@_The__Last__ @levirivets Maybe you’re confusing the Niqab and Burka 🤔

Imagine investing in a new tunnel but not allowing cycling and investing time n a bus to take bikes and then not putting the bus stop on maps and not putting any signage on any of the cycle routes? #SilvertownTunnel @googlemaps @TerribleMaps @TfL @Sustrans @MayorofLondon

Commuted by bus today because of the rain. There’s nowhere to hang up wet clothes, no changing rooms at Lynton House @RedbridgeLive @RedbridgeCycli1. Took forever to get home, walked half the way.

[Anita Two Sheds Anderson @Anytar]

@BBCTomEdwards So what happens for group rides?

[Anita Two Sheds Anderson @Anytar]

@taxiboygolf64 @lennythepen Quite a lot of sexual offences in one year. Strange how some people think this is a safer travel option.

[Anita Two Sheds Anderson @Anytar]

I knocked on two cars that were in the cycle ASL boxes this evening. One driver threatened to break my f**king fingers and the other to knock on my helmet like that.

Neither of these threats were realistic as their arms simply weren’t long enough 🙄.

I’ll keep on knocking.

Awful news - fatality at Stratford High St/Carpenters Rd, 2pm yesterday (13/1).

A man in 20s cycling, killed at known dangerous junction in collision involving driver maneuvering HGV.

More from LCC & @NewhamCyclists as we find out more.

Our thoughts with friends and family.

[Anita Two Sheds Anderson @Anytar]

@john_w_wilcox @ChaponaBike123 Yes, I did wonder if the wind had blown his car and made it go faster than the speed limit. That would be a likely scenario. The car may even have been flipped by the wind.

Really interesting. Waltham Forest came out the happiest in East London. Any correlation with sustainable active travel?

Havering is one of the saddest places to live in London according to new study https://t.co/x9Kv6kPR4j

@RantyHighwayman @RedbridgeLive @RedbridgeCycli1 The trouble with ‘do it with care’ is that I need the drivers to care!

[Anita Two Sheds Anderson @Anytar]

There’s a traffic free area in central Ilford but I’m not allowed to cycle down it. Help! Can someone help me find a safe passage from Lynton House @RedbridgeLive to Romford Rd? @RedbridgeCycli1

NB. I have been cycling on roads since 1977 but cannot find a safe route here.

[Anita Two Sheds Anderson @Anytar]

@RantyHighwayman @RedbridgeLive @RedbridgeCycli1 Thanks, it’s this bit that is the worst. The red represents me, travelling at less than 15mph and the yellow represents the cars travelling at approx 40mph to join the A406, some of them might be coming from Mill Road.

Should I cross here to use the footway then cross back?

[Anita Two Sheds Anderson @Anytar]

I find myself screaming 😱 on the routes that I try and can’t figure out which bits are shared use pavement and which are not. Bits marked ‘cycle track’ are used as pavement.

[Anita Two Sheds Anderson @Anytar]

This is what my cycle commute home from work looks like.

See the bike symbol on the road? That’s the cycle lane. Looking forward to the eventual completion of the Romford Road segregated cycle lane. @NewhamLondon @NewhamCyclists

Noisy gears

Wonky saddle
Brakes, bit of oiling

Oh no, this moveable feast road closure in the Stratford Park #LTN has no diversion info for cyclists at the two modal filters. Signage at motor vehicle entry points but most of the people who live here don’t own cars! @thameswater @NewhamLondon

[Anita Two Sheds Anderson @Anytar]

@adamtranter Something that helped me return to cycle commuting was an @EvansCycles newsletter that mentioned something like that London cyclists only get rain during their commute about 12 times per year.

Pleased to here @NewhamLondon is looking at cutting the provision of biscuits for staff. We are facing an obesity crisis and shouldn’t be spending public money on biscuits.🍪
