Cycling to work, school & play should be quick and convenient and not put you in mortal danger. Here will be noise about this healthy transport choice.
Lime e-bikes transformed cycling in Islington. It’s now common to see many more people cycling & greater diversity of riders’ age, gender & ethnicity. Lots of physical activity. It’d be detrimental to public health to bin Lime e-bikes over parking concerns. www.islingtontribune.co.uk/article/lime...
Lime e-bikes: is it the end of the road?
Town Hall chiefs are ‘minded’ not to renew operator’s contract

Why is road crime treated differently to other crime? IMO complacency and acceptance of road danger as inevitable have dulled accountability. Strategy isn’t enough — we need a fundamental root & branch cultural reset.

If you kill as a motorist, it‘s practically guaranteed you’ll be given more compassion than the victim.
If that life you took was as a result of you choosing to break the law, then “Dangerous Driving” should be mandatory, with no prospect of that charge being reduced.

In 2024, more than 1,600 people died on UK roads. Yet a major new road safety strategy has passed largely unnoticed. This reflects media acceptance of road danger and a societal complacency—an “it won’t happen to me” mindset. Sadly, it can, and by then it is too late. How do we change this?

Great to see the Streatham Hill cycle lanes being built.
The A23 here has a terrible safety record. Tragically, 3 people have been killed in the area. There've been over 70 collisions in last 3 yrs.
This scheme will make it safer for everyone with new bike lanes & pedestrian crossings.

Critically, we also need the public to support actions that enable older people to live great lives without having to drive for when they fail the eye tests. So the public need to get onboard with no pavement parking, pedestrian priority, denser housing, fewer out-of-town shopping centres, etc etc
