Dear @haringeycouncil. Despite giant fences, HGVs, and the general building-site-in-park vibe: kids still need a place to play in Finsbury Park.
So why do they have to dodge condoms and reams of litter in their play area?

@LondonHeathside This may come as a surprise to you, but (a) you don't actually own the park, & (b) not everyone wants to hear your appalling (& foul-mouthed) music being pumped out across the whole north side of the park at 6pm in the evening. Lower it!! @ContactHaringey
Sharing this fun bike video from 10 years ago. I was biking along the beach in Santa Monica and amazed when I saw this Dutch crew with very expensive gear biking along - no big deal!
I really admired them. Yeah, I used to bike with a lot of gear but nothing on that level!
Wait until you realise that people who can cross the road easily visit shops.
Zebra crossings also decrease the speed of motorists, so they'll be more likely to notice the commerce on offer...
This is what happens in NYC every time we open a new #bikenyc lane. (Turn up the sound!)
Imagine the number of celebrations to come! The next 3 1/2 years are gonna be great!

London is the greatest city in the world but one thing it does lack is a good beach. If we're gonna have more days like this we should 1) clean up the water and 2) build a big beach in inner London accessible by tube. (NYC did this in the 1930s) How about along the shore here

Selling social isolation as freedom to people has been one of the most impressive marketing stunts of the 20th century.

When girls can reliably get to school, they don’t just dream about the future. They begin to build it.
Saida's bike brings her closer to becoming a doctor. And while the road ahead isn’t easy, she's clear about where she’s headed.

Absolutely not having that this is Green Lanes in the new Netflix show ‘Legends’. However top marks to the production design team for using the old Haringey Council logo on various letters Tom Burke has in his flat.
