🚽😱 384 days since Thames Water shut Newham's ONLY safe north/south cycleway
❌🤕 4 years of danger, at least 4 injuries—and it'll get worse
🪧💩 Tell Thames: no more closures until they pay for a safe diversion!

New stats on soaring cycle trips are great, but...

“Until every borough gets with the programme, cycling’s potential in London will remain ...restricted to the fast, fit and fearless"

Cycle journeys soar 43% in London since 2019
Cycle journeys in London have surged by 43% since 2019, Transport for London (TfL) has revealed.

Wheels for Wellbeing are concerned by reports that the Chancellor is considering putting a maximum price for cycles allowed through the Cycle to Work scheme.

We are calling for the scheme to be reformed rather than capped.

🚦 Why aren't clearly dangerous junctions being fixed faster? Why are some being fixed, and some aren't? And how do we put the pressure on to get them fixed?

🏆 congratulations to the borough of Wandsworth, for taking first prize once again in the 'most dangerous junction' ranking!

The cluster on Upper Tooting Road keeps the top spot for another year, begging the question, will action ever be taken to fix it? 👀

Great to see this fantastic junction design in more areas of London! Previously only seen in Waltham Forest, now Camden and Newham are planning them. What borough will be next? How about TfL?

Camden is consulting on their design, respond today!
