🧵📢 NEWS: TfL and @london.gov.uk publish Vision Zero Action Plan 2, setting out plans for zero road casualties in London...
🤔 Our take on it? Broadly, we're in favour, and TfL are making some bold promises - the first of those being a doubling of the cycle network by 2035 🚲
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...
A 12-year old cyclist is in hospital after being struck by a hit-and-run driver on Sandy Lane West, between Blackbird Leys and Littlemore. Thames Valley Police are appealing for witnesses or dashcam footage of the collision, which involved a red car yesterday around 3.25pm.

Have you signed our petition to stop cycle theft yet? lcc.org.uk/campaigns/th...
Our new Broken Locks, Broken Promises report, survey & petition all highlight the issues with Police follow-up on cycle theft, lack of registration at sale, unregulated online marketplaces & more.
Day 1, media says...

I found being here in New Cross quite emotional earlier. The A2 is utterly grim for cycling. I'm angry that an experienced rider was killed through fault of her own, on a stretch of road identified as needing protected cycle lanes years ago.
Can't help but think Irene won't be the last. Praying...
Irene was one of two people killed on London's roads while cycling in January 2026. Not a good start to the year. This Friday, 6 Feb, our local group @lewishamcyclists.bsky.social will hold a short vigil to mark her passing on what is a horrible stretch of roads that need improvement, urgently...
Thoughts with family & friends. 39 year old woman killed cycling, New Cross Road ~8:30pm last night. www.mylondon.news/news/south-l...

Great to finally meet you. Thanks again for a top show, so many stories and your help all those years ago getting to OT for the Villa game in 2013. And keep up the great work with UWS, The Athletic and TotD.

Play street at Cold Blow lane
Sunday family spin from London Bridge to Cold Blow Lane for an awesome play street in the tunnels, now closed to traffic and a space for kids and parents. The route almost all on protected cycleways, so our 7 yr old son could ride the whole way there and back.
Celebrating #CarFreeDay in Lambeth today, with another unforgettable #KidicalMassLond and @ibikelondon.bsky.social ride. Enormous thanks to all the ride marshals, music bike riders, @solveschoolrun.bsky.social, ride lead @rahario.bsky.social and all the children, parents and friends who joined!
Looks great, but can't help thinking more space for pedestrians is needed. And some protected cycleways on Wigmore and Margaret Streets.
Blender bicycle making smoothies
Top work from @lambeth_council too showing what car free high streets can and should look like. Ethan managed a full 9 miles (14km) powered by 🍊🍌 🧇 🧁 before blending his own smoothie and trying out some assisted bikes courtesy of the awesome @wheelsforwellbeing , then jumping on train home.
Always fun and always a privilege leading @kidicalmass_london from South Bank all the way to Clapham, riding with Ethan past my our old flat in Kennington, past tcricket ground & thru Brixton with @ibikelondon crew. Lot of happy kids on 🚲 .
