The very stretch of road @carolinerussell.bsky.social talked about - 1 woman dead, 3 loosing limbs, all just wanting to get about by bike - has been top of our campaigns for YEARS.

Nothing being done.

More cyclists, even wobbly ones, a good thing!

A surge in 'strikelists' on the commute this week means some folk will continue cycling when strike is over - but "exposes the lack of capacity for cycling in London" says our Head of Campaigns @psimonk.bsky.social
metro.co.uk/2025/09/09/s...

'Strikelists' have taken over London after the Tube network ground to a halt

Seasoned cyclists have reported 'dodgy behaviour' from inexperienced riders during the Tube strike.

Some of London's most dangerous junctions are at side roads where lots of people cycle past lots of drivers turning. The answer, as we told Global Cycling Network recently, is often LTNs. Now @active-ata.bsky.social evidence: removing cut-through motor traffic saves lives bsky.app/profile/find...

Please fill in the Hoxton LTN consultation!
HCC supports the scheme but has concerns about the potential for increased traffic on C1 due to filter placements / remaining through-routes. We suggest adjusting filter locations to minimise traffic on C1.

Fill in the Shoreditch High Street consultation:

TfL seems unwilling to create proper protected junctions for cycling. Best practices elsewhere in the UK demonstrate an inclusive approach.

Shoreditch High Street: Not Safe Enough, Sadiq

New plans for Shoreditch High Street’s nastiest junctions are a big improvement on the last lot, but nowhere near good enough. Take action today...

All of the planned bus gate + one-way changes for the Chatsworth Rd LN have begun.

My favourite bit of it is the western section of Clifden Rd. Its one-way has been reversed (+ has contraflow cycling).

Consultation to support: the Dalston LN scheme would substantially improve walking & cycling.
But, the proposed filters would leave a route open for through-traffic from Cecilla Rd to Montague Rd, and the scheme should be adjusted to address this.
