Campaign for safer cycling in Liverpool

[Cycle Liverpool @CycleLiverpool]

Thank you to so many people who made this happen. Great to hear from people coming forward to have their thoughts, desires, ideas, solutions and voices heard today.

[LiverpoolWanderer @LiverpoolWande1]

Thank you to everyone that came to the protest ride today, organised by @CycleLiverpool.

Here are many of your happy faces leaving The Mystery🙂

"It's tourism, it's health, it's transport independence."

@Chris_Boardman joined @simonlightwood and @KiMcGuinness in Tynemouth this week to see the wide range of benefits the new £11m Seafront Sustainable Route is already bringing to the area 👩‍🦽🚶‍♂️🌅🚲🛴

It might be nearly 10 years (maybe more!) In the making, but that 10 yards of tarmac made my heart skip a beat this morning, before becoming a little bit still.

If you know where it is, you know.

[Dutch Cycling Embassy @Cycling_Embassy]

Dutch authorities now recommend a minimum cycle lane width of 230 cm (each direction) to allow for side-by-side riding and comfortable passing.

Studies have shown the wider the lane, the lower the safety risk: each 10% increase reduces collisions by 13%.

And finally @KnowsleyCouncil and @WirralCouncil is a no from them for #CycleToWorkDay £70 million spent somewhere and not 1 of our regions councils has promoted it! Speaks volumes!

[Paul @Charliee1972]

Has anyone spotted any of our local councillors out and about or promoting #CycleToWorkDay today? We've got all this best-in-class infrastructure & just launched LCWIP, so there must have been some promotion or some events for today. @harrydoyle96 @liamrobinson24 @LCRMayor

[Cycle Liverpool @CycleLiverpool]

Metro mayor, mayors and commissioner failure.

[Paul @Charliee1972]

Coming up to 3 years since @MetroMayorSteve tweeted this! Today was #CycleToWorkDay & just like his promise here nothing has been done #activetravelmyarse

[Carlton Reid @carltonreid]

"Cyclists don't use cycle tracks?"

Er, here's me on the new cycle track adjacent to the A27 near Eastbourne today and no motorists on the road! https://t.co/AABFE3jSob (Well, couple in the distance, and more soon arrived! But, still ...)

1/ Corruption and cover up in L8?? Update!!
Hatherley Street and Ducie Street
July 2019 was when I first heard the name West Tree Estates (WTE). Many in the local community were horrified at their planning application for Ducie Street and campaigned against it.

[Gary Kilroy @Gary_Kilroy]

Compared to the plans @WestYorkshireCA and @greatermcr have now published for expanding public transport provision the @LpoolCityRegion plans for a glorified bendy bus looks even more pathetic!

[RoadPeace @RoadPeace]

It's not too late to sign our open letter to the incoming government calling for #GraduatedDrivingLicensing to be introduced within the first 100 days of the next Parliament: https://t.co/S4ceW4g83u

[Adam Tranter @adamtranter]

@jonburkeUK I find it so strange, but it's been historically consistent. https://t.co/a6LDe6YriV

[Paul @Charliee1972]

It's been nearly 2 years since @harrydoyle96 and councillor Barrington went to check out Walthamstow. In that time @lpoolcouncil has completed less than 1 mile of bike lanes, not brought in parking restrictions in city centre! @CarlCashman should have a field day!

[Walk Ride GM @WalkRideGM]

THE LARGEST UK KIDICAL MASS EVER

WOW that was absolutely incredible

The message is clear - families want safer streets to cycle in Greater Manchester

[Paul the Cyclist/car driver/pedestrian/contrarian @cyclist13]

Drum & Bass On The Bike heads to LIVERPOOL this SUNDAY 19th May starting from 14:00Hrs at ST GEORGE’S HALL, L1 1JJ. CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS ONE!

[Chris Boardman CBE @Chris_Boardman]

I don’t normally get involved in calling out headlines but it’s just getting bonkers.

If this was directed at a gender, race or religion it would be rightly called out as the hate speech it is. Mums, dads, sons and daughters being labelled as killers. It’s just got to stop.

[Cycle Liverpool @CycleLiverpool]

@AlanMyles8 We have seen so many police forces use this guide badly. They clearly don’t understand Primary and secondary position and have no understanding of National standards for cycling. @Chris_Boardman @activetraveleng police force staff been education.

[Liverpool City Council @lpoolcouncil]

The next three reports are all transport related.

The first is all about improving cycle access in and around Upper Parliament St, Catherine St & Princes Rd – improving traffic flow and having a positive impact on all road users.

[Gary Kilroy @Gary_Kilroy]

In nearly 2 years since this opened @lpoolcouncil Haven't added a single meter to the city's cycling infrastructure.
