This Spanish city centre has been car-free for 20 years. 12k people have moved into the centre since the ban. The Mayor says vehicles don’t have more right to public space than people — & he’s been re-elected 4 times since banning cars. Pontevedra via @WEF

How well you slept last night and when you felt sleepy to go to bed, and how you felt on waking are MAINLY controlled by how early and how much sunlight you viewed before 10am in the preceding 2-3 days. Other factors matter but that’s the biggie folks.
Non-negotiable biology.

Please support the pedestrianising of Brick Lane- a great place to visit and needs this regeneration badly

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Fantastic. New data shows that cycling is up 22% in London — a real testament to the hard work that’s been put into our world-leading Streetspace scheme, creating a huge travel network of safe cycle routes around our city.

Thank you to everyone involved in this vital work.

[Will Norman @willnorman]

Yet more data showing the increase in cycling across London. Our safer routes are enabling more and more people to take to their bikes & cycles - it's greener, cleaner, healthier and fun.

Some great changes by ⁦@lb_southwark⁩ to cycling and walking

[Two Wheels Good blog @TwoWheelsGoodUK]

Nice improvements to cycling on Southwark Bridge Road #spaceforcycling

[Will Norman @willnorman]

Truly terrifying pictures of the wildfires in the US - my thoughts are with everyone caught up in this climate change disaster. 27% of our carbon emissions come from transport. We all urgently need to shift to cleaner, greener ways of getting around. #walking #cycling

One of the easiest ways to write to your councillors is to visit https://t.co/hnHDmp67oU and enter your postcode. Couldn't be simpler!

[Rich Warner @rgwarner]

School run with separate infrastructure. Absolute game changer, ⁦@RBKingston⁩.
More of the same, please!

[Steve Tooze @SteveBTooze]

You and your fellow Lambeth councillors have done an amazing thing with LTNs @EmmaLNye It's transformed the lives of thousands of people and I can't want for the day when they are made permanent #RailtonLTN

A long time coming!!!

The law has to start treating violence on the roads the same as elsewhere. This is worse than antisocial. It’s like running through a crowd with an knife and needs to be treated as such. https://t.co/5nCjhWyjqM

Bike parking at my son’s school this morning, 10 minutes before his start time. There were more locked up to fences behind me.

[Will Norman @willnorman]

With more & more people cycling in London, we need a new approaches for bike parking. This morning, I was delighted to open the new Bike-Drop Regent St facility for 200+ bikes - secure/cc-tv/valet service. Great use for an empty shop. https://t.co/h10VDMXzc7
