@Nobbie2020 @BobFromAccounts @CityWestminster Yes.

As you rightly point out, it’s so few cars yet they occupy half of the road. We are just used to seeing this happen everywhere that we don’t stop and realise how ridiculous it is, and how few people it benefits.

Traffic Lights on Hampstead Road stuck on red (again).

Please be careful

@jillreports @CityofVancouver “They don’t slow down traffic” yet this car went from dangerously fast to 0 thanks to this barrier. 😘

@andie52 @willnorman @MayorofLondon It’s great that you can afford a car when millions of Londoners cannot. I love when people claim they have data without providing it. Top stuff Andie. https://t.co/Os5FIHBZw3

@Rachel_Norman @AdamBronkhorst @NewcastleCC Seems fine to me. That road is 4 cars wide. Couldn’t possibly make it narrower.

@loadarubbis @kidkaratemusic @HarryHamishGray Its not though - in the Netherlands kids cycling to school wont wear one.

People wear a helmet (unless legally required to) as a resonance to risk.

Racing car - helmet, drive to work - not.

Rock-climbing - helmet, bouldering - not.

Sport cycling - helmet, around town - not.

@mark__b1 @HarryHamishGray But the use of the word “invisible” is still false, and dramatised.

@JeremyVineOn5 Why is it that we say “a helmet saved his life” and never “this would never have been happened if the road was safe to begin with”.

[London Cycle Updates @updates_cycle]

@AceLaurie384 @BCI_realm @iambrianjones If you viewed cars as just being 1.3 people, roads aren’t actually busy.

[London Cycle Updates @updates_cycle]

@sp_jimbob @joncstone The point is that if you make it very cheap for people to store their cars taking up valuable public space for far less than the value of the public space, then you’re advocating car ownership.

[London Cycle Updates @updates_cycle]

@charlie_baker23 I’m sure they’re mad that he felt like he needed to wear a helmet when he wouldn’t in the Netherlands. Right!?

[London Cycle Updates @updates_cycle]

@tomhfh Dense housing within 5 minutes of all basic amenities and a tube station would be great.

When housing is in such short supply this would help, without increasing cars.

@SafeCycleLDN @TfL They’re great, I walk through them often.

I really really wish they’d sort out the pavements on Park Village East though. They’re single file narrow yes the road is 4 cars wide…

[London Cycle Updates @updates_cycle]

@adamtranter @thetrainline Tap in tap out nationwide travel like the Netherlands.

[London Cycle Updates @updates_cycle]

@NFBUK You know that under the Highway Code now drivers should stop for pedestrians going straight at junctions?

Or do we only care if it’s bikes who are breaking the rules, which they shouldn’t be.

[London Cycle Updates @updates_cycle]

@iamgrootxxxx @hammerotass @LutfurRahmanTH @NEUnion There’s a difference between “make driving impossible” and “make it safe for kids to get to school”. I don’t believe you’re ignorant enough to confuse the two.

[London Cycle Updates @updates_cycle]

@VincentStops @MayorofLondon @willnorman @TfL Just a reminder that cycle lanes can be used by people with a range of disabilities.

[London Cycle Updates @updates_cycle]

@dannyjamesjohn @MarkMooseOwen @PunchlineGlos Sure, it’s not as important and infrastructure within Chelt or Glos but you might want to check the plans. The A40 is the major route between the two, this is going along the B4063.

@BFryback London Overground?
