Thanks Ranty – and thoughts on pros and cons of this one?

Contender for one of the most uncomfortable places to cycle in Haringey?

Baffling: white bicycle logo painted on the road here in Wood Green. Hi @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social, thoughts?

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.

1 in 4 Londoners more likely to cycle after Tube strike
A poll by Lime and YouGov found that 28 per cent of Londoners are more likely to consider cycling in the future due to the disruption

I’m down at the Oxford Street car free day and I can already tell this is going to be an exceptionally joyous event. I’ll share some highlights!

Loved the hubbub of people and music rather than motors!

Great to see you there Carla – and thousands of others enjoying the street without any motor traffic, plus some welcome silver birch trees!

Ermygadddd, I’ve been on Oxford Street with my daughter today as it’s been traffic free.

What a total buzz 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

All we could hear was people chatting and laughing, and not ONE engine. It was delicious. And of course people are here in huge numbers. … 1/11

We love the new safer crossing on Essex Road - now let's crack on with C50 at Finsbury Park where it remains unfinished, dangerous and seemingly ignored by decision makers

Thanks to everyone who came along to yesterday's ride and the volunteers who made it such a big success. We'd love to see more cycle friendly infrastructure in Haringey, making it safer for everyone to cycle around the borough and not just on our #communityrides

What I’ve realised recently is how many regular folks around here are looking for a safe cycle route. A local mum told me in the playground the other day that … /1

Great to see how you've ignited the discussion Carla.

@willnorman.co.uk's latest map highlights the big hole in Haringey: no new cycleway network here in a decade – Green Lanes is glaringly absent.

Has Haringey's Streets for People plan stalled? Political will?

We've grown London's network of cycleways by over 450% since 2016 - enabling millions of people to cycle safely around the capital every week.

Professor Ian Walker was inspirational at yesterday's conference at London's beautiful Guildhall. His allotted time was way too short - could have listened to him all day. 🙏🏻 #motonormativity
