LPOA - London Pedicab Operators Association

Pedicabing in London since 1998, working towards fair and appropriate Regulations for UK wide pedicab operations.

@DonnachadhMc @StopKillingCycl 1st reading it, we would have agreed but the devil is in the detail, these are not public and sadly it's aimed central London, not nationwide. At this point it is too easy, as an instrument to be used for finishing off pedicabs, discussions should have been had prior to drafting.

[LPOA - London Pedicab Operators Association @LondonLpoa]

Nickie's meeting with the LPOA, showed she is genuinely not wishing to ban, but to achieve sensible regulation, which is excellent. It's sad that the initial proposal was not discussed with cycling groups or the industry, as this means the bill starts on the wrong foot.

Which rag wastes ink on such a tiresome old and misguided winge?

[Donnachadh McCarthy @DonnachadhMc]

Day after day wall to wall coverage of 3 stabbed but zero coverage of drunken driver who killed dad & 2 kids same day! No pics of drunken killer. No details of dad & kids. No MPs calling r action. Cars kill 1000s every yr. Religious bigots kill tiny no. Papers funded by car lobby

[Martin Porter KC @MartinPorter6]

How on earth is it not murder? Because he did it in a car??

@RosieRogers @cyclinguk To wrap cyclists and pedestrians in high vis-vest, helmets and impact vests is not the right way to go. Follow the dutch example for cycling, reduce car traffic

@DonnachadhMc @LinusRees @IsabelleClement @StopKillingCycl @psimonk @London_Cycling @WeAreCyclingUK @Wheels4Well @BritishCycling A workable license is a good thing for a public service transport, especially in these times when roads should be closed to cars and opened to walking and cycling. A cycling taxi service would fit in by offering a health way to get about and offer new opportunities to the young.

Pedicab regulations should ensure that pedicabs flourish in an increasingly cycle-friendly city in which there is a huge demand for short, emission-free journeys.We look forward to working with TfL to discuss the Bill and agree the detail of the Regulations

@DonnachadhMc @IsabelleClement @StopKillingCycl @psimonk @London_Cycling @WeAreCyclingUK @Wheels4Well @BritishCycling .... shame that the proposed bill is not nationwide, nore reflect any discussions with the responsable part of the industry but Nikkie did not seek to ban pedicabs she did started on the wrong foot ...
As it stands the LTDA would welcome it ...

[LPOA - London Pedicab Operators Association @LondonLpoa]

@DonnachadhMc @IsabelleClement @StopKillingCycl @psimonk @London_Cycling @WeAreCyclingUK @Wheels4Well @BritishCycling That's been the big issue with previous efforts, TfL and Westminster Council have always bowed to the heavy lobby from the LTDA, putting a workable regulation scheme into the 'to hard to do' pile and getting it swept under the carpet in favour of efforts to ban

[LondonLivingStreets @LDN_LS]

1. Fascinating to see steps being taken by @CityWestminster in Covent Garden in advance of Monday 15th June and shops re-opening. Major changes with closures of streets from 11am to 11pm will create large pedestrianised areas during the daytime and evenings weekdays & weekends...

One hope's london will follow or better still, maybe catch up?

[Matthew BALDWIN @BaldwinMatthew_]

City urban mobility officials: please take a careful look at this VERY interesting data. A very strong desire, it seems, NOT to return to the old normal.... https://t.co/qBzmn7xIZo

@swat_transport Sorry to hear that, hope you got help out and recovering, being part of the boat and cycling community for a few years, know the hazards of unpleasant persons on the towpath :(

@DonnachadhMc @IsabelleClement @StopKillingCycl @psimonk @London_Cycling @WeAreCyclingUK @Wheels4Well @BritishCycling I agree, the industry does need regulation to help those that run the right model (with training, insurance and good quality equipment) not to be out done by cowboys, as has become the case

@LondonLpoa @IsabelleClement @StopKillingCycl @psimonk @London_Cycling @WeAreCyclingUK @Wheels4Well @BritishCycling My worry is with Aitken proposing it, it may be designed to destroy pedicab industry, not put it on a fair level playing field? Pedicabs are London's safest cleanest transport mode. @StopKillingCycl

[LPOA - London Pedicab Operators Association @LondonLpoa]

@DonnachadhMc @StopKillingCycl @psimonk @London_Cycling @WeAreCyclingUK @Wheels4Well @BritishCycling @willnorman We had agreed a working proposals with Westminster and TfL since 2012 which was dropped in favour of an attempt to shut pedicabs down with police force

[LPOA - London Pedicab Operators Association @LondonLpoa]

@twocitiesnickie Just read it and sadly, it's identical to the bill brought by Paul Scully ......

[LPOA - London Pedicab Operators Association @LondonLpoa]

@CampaignTim @ZacGoldsmith @TfL or you in your's? ;-P

[LPOA - London Pedicab Operators Association @LondonLpoa]

@RuthMayorcas @citycyclists Thank you, we agree with fair, UK wide, regulation for pedicabs. Tim Barnes interview was in a much less noisy, polluted street because car use has dropped off a cliff and not because of the lack of pedicabs.
