We need a properly managed pan-London bike hire scheme so all Londoners can benefit from convenient active travel across the Capital. This public health ‘miracle pill’ can’t be hobbled by motor-normative councillors competitively posturing to respond to a moral panic about people riding bicycles.

Dockless bikes have expanded diversity & popularity of cycling in London. Yes, there are issues with parking, rollout of bays. But London's councils using contracts as revenue streams to create a patchwork of checkpoints & no-go zones threatens uptake. Bad move. www.standard.co.uk/news/transpo...

In 2025, there were 1.5m daily cycle journeys in London, equivalent to nearly half of daily Tube journeys.

Evidence shows that London-wide, cycling infrastructure is effective in reducing risk exposure:  Protected cycling infrastructure reduces injury risk to people cycling by 40-65%.  Around 33% of all cycling in London occurs on Cycleways, but only 15% of cycle casualties.  76% of people cycling feel safe on Cycleways compared to 40% feeling safe on other roads.  70% of Cycleway users felt safer after the introduction of the Cycleway.

Road safety factors are more likely to be attributed to the driver of (recorded in 2024) the other vehicle than people cycling, with three of top five factors relating to behaviour of other drivers. • People cycling undertaking an illegal turn and/or not complying with traffic lights is a factor in only 3.7% of all collisions resulting in a cycling fatal or serious injury (same prevalence as drivers undertaking illegal turns and/or not complying with traffic lights).

A 2023 analysis showed that in the 2016-22 period, we saw a greater reduction in risk in boroughs where the Cycleway network expanded the most. Conversely, risk increased most in boroughs with no or limited investment in Cycleways.

Vehicle fuel economy and vehicle miles traveled: An empirical investigation of Jevon’s Paradox There has been, in recent decades, a concerted effort to promote energy efficiency as a means to reduce energy consumption. The general thesis is that…

STUDY: Despite conventional wisdom that increases in vehicle fuel efficiency results in decreased gasoline consumption, Jevons’ Paradox holds. For every 1 mile per gallon of increased fuel efficiency there’s an associated 1.2 mile increase in vehicle miles travelled.

Better cars = higher emissions.

Thanks to the data shared by citizens around the world, the Bike Data Project aims at showing where and when people ride their bicycles. The data gathered will help local communities and decision-makers make cycling and cities safer.

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

Traffic light pedestrian crossing.

The traffic light pedestrian crossing on the Outer Circle of Regent's Park, near the zoo and running track has been installed. Like the one at the other end of the zoo, the delay time and repeat frequency is very good for pedestrians.

VOTE FOR WESTMINSTER’S FUTURE! 🗳️✅With local election season about to go into high gear, now is the time for residents to reflect on how we've turned red lights into green ones when it comes to cycling & let council leaders know @citywestminster.bsky.social that you WANT MORE CHANGE! 💪🚴‍♀️ ⬇️

Cyclists in an under protected lane

200,000+ people cycle in the city centre, outnumbering cars 2-to-1 in our post codes. Nearly 2/3 of Westminster households do not own a car. We want less traffic & less pollution for a safer, cleaner borough. Please share with neighbours! And THANK YOU for your support ♥️

New cycle lane alert - building underway for Westminster’s first stepped tracks - same as a kerbed cycle lane I think.

Bravo @maxsullivan.bsky.social and team!!

YouGov research commissioned by Cycling UK shows 74% of 16 to 30-year-olds in Wales support redesigning streets to improve safety for walking and cycling.
