@IsSaddleThereIs @IslingtonBC @TfL @CycleIslington If you think this is bad you should try the crossing from King St across Cheapside. It’s bike only so sensor activated but you have to be there for ages before your turn is due otherwise it skips your turn

@BobFromAccounts He’s been in power for a while but not since 1976!

Hi @TfL. There's clearly something wrong with these cycle signals on Balls Pond Rd #Cycleway1 again. Waited over 3 mins without a green phase yesterday morning! Gave up waiting and walked across in the end. Can they please be fixed. Thanks. (Video at 3.25x speed)

I'm seriously starting to question the credibility of the FIFA Peace Prize.

@_spez_ @StokeyUpdates Fair comment. You’ve made me doubt myself, I’ve not used it yet so it’s possible I’ve missed it being two way although I don’t see how it would work where the bike lane disappears at the crossroads. The proposal is here: https://t.co/A9yNrl9Wc6

@_spez_ @StokeyUpdates The bit I don’t like are the traffic lights at the bottom. There’s a bike box on the road but the traffic turning right onto Boleyn Road has to go through it which is really dangerous. Especially the buses

[Chris Wheeler @stokeywheels]

@_spez_ @StokeyUpdates It’s just shared with the cars. Sadly the road isn’t wide enough for 2 bike lanes and cars too. To be honest, the worst problems I’ve had on this road have all been Northbound so it’s an improvement.

[Chris Wheeler @stokeywheels]

@_spez_ @StokeyUpdates Do you mean at the junction or on the road?

[Chris Wheeler @stokeywheels]

@CRCuthbert @RSPBMinsmere @RSPBEngland Wow! I’ve only ever caught the tiniest glimpse

[Chris Wheeler @stokeywheels]

@BackseatsmanLFC Not sure I’d seen this before. Thanks for sharing!

Just over a week to go until Sir @ChrisHoy's @Tour_De_4 fundraising ride in Glasgow 🙌

Over 600 riders are gearing up to join him in support of our work, and together they've already raised over £300,000 to help save men’s lives.

👏 What a team!

Fancy a swim at Flamborough, Bridlington or Scarborough this afternoon? I wouldn't. 👇

@London_Cycling is there a map of the road closures in Hoxton for the cycling festival tomorrow please? I’ve tried to search for it but all I’ve got is that a map is “coming soon”

A special moment for humanity as the world gets to watch billionaires play astronauts with the tax money they avoided paying

Just a reminder that you don't become working class just because you had a job once.

@StokeyUpdates I’m not sure but I hope he’s ok and well enough to re-open soon!!
