The British Transport Police won't investigate bike thefts if the bike was left for more than two hours.

"Effectively decriminalising bike thefts": Bikes stolen from train stations that were left for more than two hours will not be investigated, says British Transport Police

CCTV footage will not be looked at outside a two-hour timeframe

Construction has started today to complete the Kingston to New Malden #Cycleway. With construction continuing on Ewell Road this means Kingston has two Cycleways under construction. New crossings being installed will make it safer for those walking too 🚲🏗️👍

Most of those years the response was 'Our contractors have cleared the blockage'.

Kingston Cycling Campaign @kingstoncycling.bsky.social · 10d

Yay!!! After 6 years, the footway flooding problem on #SkerneRoad has been fixed. The lump of timber that blocked the drain and stopped rainwater getting to the drain has been replaced with the proper grill (presumably by Network Rail, whose access this is)

Make it as convenient as possible to get your bikes out. Cycle in normal clothes. Chores are never a chore when transported by bike.

Spot the difference at #Tolworth !

May 2019. 3 traffic lanes in the northbound approach to Tolworth roundabout and a pedestrian subway.

May 2025. 4 traffic lanes on the northbound approach to Tolworth roundabout and no pedestrian subway.

Seems like Lime bikes don't get in the way when councils remove a couple car parking spaces to allow their use

Neither of the maps appear to be correct in respect of Kingston. #factcheck

Maps of London boroughs showing (1) where Lime operates and (2) where Voi and Forest operate.

Kingston Cycling Campaign @kingstoncycling.bsky.social · Aug 21

Oddly, Lime have self-imposed restrictions on where their e-bikes can be used in the borough of Kingston. It's annoying and frustrating, and we hope they will fix it soon.

Map showing the location of Lime bikes. Lots in north and central Kingston, but almost none in Surbiton, Chessington,Tolworth or Berrylands.

🗺️ The Standard have attempted to fully map out the increasingly confusing e-bike zones...

Conclusion? It's a mess, and it's a mess that that's driving riders mad!

I so enjoyed my visit to Pavilion on the Park in Eastleigh with local MP @lizjarvis.bsky.social

It’s a fantastic place for everyone to get some exercise! We tested out an adapted bike from Cycles4All. NO HANDS!

From the images that the operators of the Kingston Market have used in their "Have Your Say" questionnaire, you'd be forgiven for thinking that they don't see a future for cycling through the market place. Please respond to their questionnaire. Link: kingstonmarket.co.uk/have-your-say

Great opportunity for children to pick up practical life skills this summer in Kingston, because you're never too young to learn how to take care of your own bike.

Full Cycle in New Malden are offering two Under 18s bike maintenance workshops this summer
