Congratulation @wfcouncil for 10 years of transformation of the Borough to a place for Wheeling and Cycling. It was a tough initiative. The wonderful political leadership from the Deputy Leader Clyde Loaks and work of @wfcycling made it happen.
At #innovationzero up steps this guy, ‘about 20 years ago I gave you a cycling lesson’ he says. @FixedFun is back! Watch out London I’ll be back on that bike before you know it.

“I tried it and love it. [I feel] euphoric. 30 minutes I am talking on my lightwriter to my hubby [about] how wonderful I feel. I think cycle taxi is the most wonderful thing in the world.”

@ConfidentCyc @CHAIRRDRF@BCCletts@RoadPeace@ActionVZ@London_Cycling That's such backward thinking. Exchanging places was the main aim of various driver-rider sessions.
