3+ years #carfree for me too 🚶🏻‍♀️🚲🚌🚖

Walk, ride, public transport, and the occasional car share (Co-Wheels) or taxi when needed. Honestly? It’s nowhere near as hard as we thought it would be

Still saving money, still getting places, still feeling good.

For the source of congestion, we should look at where traffic is coming from. Considering that only half of Wandsworth’s residents have access to a car, the A3 with its 6 lanes might be to blame, not the people who want to take back their streets from car dominance

In contrast to Wandsworth council, H&F actually takes some action to support active travel. Wider pavements and space for people on our high streets should absolutely be supported.The petition’s suggestion that Hurlingham Rd should take more traffic is also ridiculous, we don’t need more rat-running

This is such a smart way to handle bike lanes next to bus stops. Much safer for a pedestrian to have to cross a bike lane than for a cyclist to cross a bus lane - as we so often do.

It’s dispiriting that this is what getting a COVID vaccination now looks like to this chronic asthmatic.

UK Universities cut 12,000 jobs, more on the way.

40% of Unis in financial crisis.

Major exporter destroyed by successive govts

Obstacles for foreign students.
Low fees in England, lack of govt funding.
£267bn student debt.
Home student numbers down.

How will the UK compete with other nations?

You wouldn't campaign to change this safe, efficient, sustainable transport corridor (#Hammersmithbridge) into the sort of hostile, car-choked shambles of frustration & delay that most key roads in @hfcouncil.bsky.social are would you @libdems.org.uk? I think Sarah Olney has got this wrong. #bikesky

The bar must be really low for footballers if cycling to work is so special it’s getting you a sustainability award
I think we should get more awards for regular commuters 🏅

Hammersmith bridge is open to pedestrians and cyclists, boosting sustainable cross-river traffic.
One of the excellent routes it enables is featured in Jon Stone’s latest video on his 'London Cycle Routes' YouTube channel: Hammersmith to Roehampton in Wandsworth.

I would be interested in seeing a decent engineering drawing, details of how the motoring network has been unravelled and a forecast of expected cycle and motor flows.

Based on the image? Not a cycle street with parking bays sticking out like that.

Brand new in Wandsworth. Utterly bleak. Healthy Streets Scorecard fail.

I never understood impatient drivers in London. They are usually just rushing to sit in the next bit of congestion 🤷‍♂️

YouGov survey of 1,000+ Londoners, post-tube strike said 1/5 cycled during strikes, 1/4 will now cycle more, with ~35% of central & East Londoners embracing cycling. Those areas tend to have more safe cycle routes generally than other areas of London currently.

If anyone’s around Tooting Common today or Tuesday, the heavy horses from Oakwood Clydesdales mowing by in between the lake and tennis courts, and by the woods to the right of Bedford Hill. GORGEOUS sight!

One day later, same road, no police was there to catch the taxi jumping the red lights, while pedestrians were still crossing!

(I’m not posting the video as I’ll submit it to the online. Just need to figure out if the Met or the City of London Police are responsible)
