If you told me 5yrs ago that young children were cycling along Jamaica Road to school, I would have said you were mad. I see children cycling and scooting to school all along the Cycleway4 daily now and full credit to those involved in this implementation 👏🏻

Women cycling aged 36 years old with whole life with family ahead of her. Mother of two children. Cycling on a recognised cycle route in London with a reduced speed limit of 20mph. Killed by a dangerous motorist who fled the scene. My heart breaks for her/her family 💚💛❤️💙

Bike security is a huge barrier to cycling. Outside Euston Station where there is a designated bike stand, multiple bikes/parts have been stolen. Even a child’s bike had its saddle taken. If cars were being stolen like this, there would be a huge clamp down to stop it…

Genuinely confused how you can’t manage to walk around the bike with the space either side of this moveable object, but can walk around the smaller space without issue beyond the bike with the black car front bumper taking up most the pavement space in pic 2?

Cycleway 4 has multiple floating bus stops. However since the introduction of the cycleway, there has been a dramatic increase in usage, esp with children - cycling and scooting as well as less able. I can’t imagine pushing them back into the road to mix with vehicles.

If you cause a collision where you have seriously injured or killed someone and being prosecuted for the offence - your driving licence should automatically be suspended. It may take years before the case comes to court and no way should you be driving during that period.

Why do cyclists ride “in the middle of the road” reason 482: rubbish road surfaces (ps cyclists report potholes for repair which helps motorists from vehicle damage).

There are so many different people who ride bikes. Some wear lycra, some causal clothes, some have ponchos. The fact is, everyone has a life outside of cycling, but all have a common objective of getting from A-B safely.

I never understand the “wait until the cold and the rain” comments. Even if someone changes habit (cycling, walking, public transport) for only one day of the year rather than unnecessarily driving, that should be applauded, not scrutinised because you’re not doing it 365.

A short story. Less than 3 months later it appears the 🔔 end who insists on parking here every day, putting child’s lives in danger mon-fri, has a court order against them and their car has been clamped. Time to seize that asset. To be continued…

We can make eScooters work. Yes, some are dangerous (speed), but if regulated and used properly, it’s can be a step in the right direction to reduce congestion in London and build a greener city. I don’t think a blanket ban is the right way to go IMHO.

Crooms Hill on the way home last night. At a stand still. Cause - motorists not giving way to each other and refusing to move over. Saw at least two cabbies in this jam. This used to be an LTN that allowed cabbies through and worked well…

Martyn Gall. Tuesday marked the 3 year anniversary since he went out for a Sunday morning bike ride with his wife & kids at home and never returned. A reminder that using your phone while driving can have catastrophic consequences and devastate families lives 💔
Today is World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims – a poignant reminder that almost 4,000 lives are lost every single day on roads across globe and of the ripple effect of grief that extends through families and communities:

In the last 3 years of available data, there have been 217 fatalities on Londons roads between 2020 - 2022 (Stats19).
Without attributing cause of collision, only two of these fatalities involved a pedal cycle, the majority of the others, motor vehicles. That’s less than 1%.
Dangerous cyclists who kill or seriously injure others should face the same penalties as other road users.
Today I have agreed a way forward to ensure the Criminal Justice Bill contains powers to hold irresponsible cyclists to account, paving the way for even safer streets.(1/4)

Given the tragic death of Hilda Griffiths resulting from a collision with a cyclist, it appears people believe the cyclist is responsible despite the facts. Are people now advocating for presumed liability along with parity with motorists. If so, I’m all for presumed liability…

Road violence is out of control. There are so many uninsured and untraced drivers for causing serious injury or death that there really needs to be a cultural shift in societies attitudes towards driving a vehicle and the dangers it can pose.

I’m not for second suggesting they are perfect but if people understood how they worked, stopped and gave way to pedestrians - they can work well. I like the raised hump before the start to slow you down and make you more aware.

Absolute pleasure meeting Mark on the CS4 tonight. He was stuck at home for a lot of Covid-19 due to his MND condition but he told me the new cycleway is a game changer to get out the house and to work. We chatted about developments in treatment for MND and my dad who had it.

The next time I read… “but motorists have VRNs and easily traceable”. The motor insurers bureau ends up dealing with thousands of seriously injury and death claims a year for collisions caused by drivers who go undetected - it’s a huge problem in the UK.
Can you help find the driver responsible for a hit and run in North Hyde Lane

I’m not for a second trying to suggest that there is a larger proportion of women cycling than what is traditionally known, but with the increased protection of the CW4 being put in place, I’m noticing more women cycling. Out of the 9 stopped here, 6 are women. It’s great to see.

I really enjoy your tweets/content but I don’t think the car overlay works here in this scenario IMHO. It works better as just a cyclist. If this was a motorway and a vehicle was trying to get from middle to inside lane to turn off, I’d probably slow down and let it in.

Over here in Greenwich, the biggest cause of delays to London Fire Brigade call outs was traffic, not LTNs. What you going to do about excessive car use?
1. If you really want to read the data, it can be found here:
@One_Greenwich
has used the data for “Greenwich” and “East Greenwich”. Actually it’s not 128, it’s 142 between 25/08/2020 - 04/03/2022 - Hills and Vales LTN (I believe these are the dates).

Wear hi viz, don’t wear hi viz. I thought I had heard all the excuses to excuse poor driving. People will literally do mental gymnastics to excuse their own poor driving behaviour.
In court Christopher Morrison said he had not seen cyclist Robert Cowie — who died after being struck by the driver before falling into the path of another driver's vehicle — due to sun glare and suggested "maybe it was bouncing off his high-vis vest"
