Tips for (wannabe) cyclists, designers & politicians to encourage cycling in a safe & social way and make London the greenest & chillest capital in the world
@drmatthewhardy @RantyHighwayman @cycleoptic @London_Cycling Yes that's how they do in the NL and that is what advisory cycle lanes are made for 😀 Giving priority to cyclists even on narrow streets and allowing vehicles to drive on them to cross each other. Share as much as possible! 🙏
📢The first publicly available cargo bike sharing scheme in the country is being launched in Hackney this month to help residents and businesses carry goods by bike and support them to reduce transport emissions.

We love seeing cargo cycles out and about in London. They're helping people drive less and use safe, fun and sustainable cycling more. But it's clear there's a big shortage of accessible and secure parking for them.
With additional help from @London_Cycling and @sustrans, the Safe Cycling in London map has been massively improved. Not only have hundreds of legacy LTNs been added, but thanks to some great feedback, many errors have been fixed & upcoming schemes put in

Paris is investing £225m to transform the iconic but car-choked Champs-Élysées boulevard into an “extraordinary garden.” Among other things, 140K on-street parking spaces will be removed. Bold city-building leadership from @Anne_Hidalgo & team. Via @TheB1M
Great to see cycling ambulances exist in London! 🙌🙌🙌 and for 21 years already! I'd love to see you more often @Ldn_Ambulance (sure you produce less noise pollution as well!)
21 years ago our pedal-powered cycle paramedics began responding to patients on 🚲🚲 .

Would you visit Brick Lane more if it was pedestrianised? Boosting footfall here is vital after the last year, so let @MayorJohnBiggs know that he's making the right decision - it only takes a minute to sign @BetterStreetsTH letter here:

Cyclists and greens have got their cycling utopia. No cars, no planes and everyone working from home. The downside is the economy has crashed.Sixth form politics doesn’t work in the real world. Just glad the cycling utopia has now been found out so going forward no more nonsense
New case-crossover study of cycling injury risk in London has found protected cycle infrastructure reduces injury risk but painted advisory lanes increase it, for people cycling in London morning commute.

#LiveableStreets have massively improved the lives of residents in Bethnal Green. This time lapse shows the change from a year ago! Many thanks to councillors for making this happen @MayorJohnBiggs@Tarikahmedkhan @Dan_Bromley_N @Kevin_J_Brady
