@park_crossing @TheOxfordMail @BBCOxTravel @OxfdPedestrians @OxfordshireCC Please could I ask you all to @droptheaword. These are crashes/collisions/incidents. Accident is deprecated language around car collisions because it actively suggests nobody or nothing was to blame.

@carlafrancome I took the Victoria Line home late one Friday when we stopped in a tunnel for several minutes. A guy from a chatty group offered to teach any willing volunteer Salsa Dance. So many eyes down, and he called out my bemused smile. Livened up the trip.

@carlafrancome In this case I'd prefer the cup was half empty.

@carlafrancome @kat_1701 I clocked two guys following me down my street one night some years ago, swiftly deciding I'd get into the road and make a noise.

A terrible night, but noise and visibility brought out many helpers who even detained one of the assailants.

Take the road!

@carlafrancome I did the autopilot thing onto Baker St Jubilee/Bakerloo for the last Tube one night. Still don't know how I managed it, although relaxed after a drink. Made it home!

Good news from @carlafrancome who spoke so brilliantly for cycling at the recent @London_Cycling campaigning conference.

It was a BIG night tonight, the launch of London Cycling’s report, “What stops women cycling?”

1000 women were surveyed about the abuse they face on bikes in the capital, and the results are astounding.

9 out of 10 women have faced aggression or abuse on the road.

"I felt free" - congrats to Southwark’s Deputy Mayor @Naima_Ali01 riding a bike for the first time! Over 40% of suitable areas in @lb_southwark are now Low Traffic Neighbourhoods plus the new C4 cycle lane, so lots of safe places to explore 🙌 https://t.co/8NtSS5OrNe

@StormontCyclist I live by a similar junction and see many, many motorists do this. A lot are fully right of the centre line as they turn right. Hopeless.

Some developers resist allegations of gentrification / social segregation but this place appears to celebrate them.

🚨 BREAKING: We hand-delivered cycle-lane bollards to the Kensington & Chelsea Customer Service Centre to hammer home how there are no protected cycle lanes in the whole borough.

@OneEyeGrey And another this (Sunday) morning at Medlar St junction. I'm aware of four serious collisions in the last 3 weeks on a short stretch of road.

[Rich @richy_pp]

@London_Cycling names @hackneycouncil as leading the way on cycling, with @CamdenCouncil @wfcouncil @lambeth_council doing brilliantly too. Nice work!

Calling on @MayorofLondon to keep up Vision Zero (collisions) and to catch up on Net Zero (emissions).

@MattDrapps I remember that one from Soul Survivor in the 90s.

[Rich @richy_pp]

@8dangerou_sadam My mother had the cute postman's parents around for dinner.

I still don't know how this happened.

@Hippyfish77 Call the Midwife.

@theeyecollector Like the people who stop their car two feet out from the kerb 'cos "I'll only be a minute" and sit there on their phones, oblivious to the chaos they're creating all around.
