50 year anniversary of De Beauvoir, the LTN inspiration for so much that came after. Obviously everyone is calling for it to be removed...

Levelling Up has long looked from outside a politically motivated funding stream. In London it has also appeared to sideline or undermine a democratically-elected Mayor. I'm not surprised to see councils bitter at money delays & opaque bidding processes: theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…

Fascinatingly poor response from Network Rail London Euston to overcrowding concerns at Euston. Underlines need for far more systemic response to rail (HS2) but also incredibly tone deaf arrogance on part of org when customers talking about genuine safety worries.

Forget culture wars. Ignore the 'war on cars'. This isn't 'us v them'. The reality is cycling in London is often joyous & while it could & should be far more comfy for more people, it already is a very positive way of getting around for loads of Londoners.

Truly terrifying... ly weird.

(As the context added note points out, London is 14th in the rankings of global safest cities. This is blatant desperation by Conservatives.)

Oh dear. Mayoral candidate Susan Hall AM says 'there's only 2-3 per cent of the population that are cyclists' when the piece says 24% Londoners cycled last year & 'mode share' for cycling in London is now 4.5%, 1.26m cycled journeys daily or 1/3 of all tube. Wrong, Suzie...

Absolutely brilliant demonstration of why ratruns are terrible, why LTNs are good, why main roads like Kensington High Street need proper treatment & why politicians like Cllr Cem Kemahli need to take a hard look at themselves for actively fighting against progress, safety, planet...

Great thread about risk to Sadiq from assuming he can swing driver votes from Susan Hall while ignoring risk of swing to greener politicians. And of course, assuming he can deliver Net Zero 2030 without smart road user charging or ignore policy as it fails without consequences...

8 in 10 parents & carers say zebra crossings on side roads would make them feel safer walking their children to school. Today we've announced new side road zebra trials to help West Midlands Combined Authority and Greater Manchester Combined Authority with their devolution deals. Watch our video with Chris Boardman 🦓🚶‍♂️👩‍🦽🛴
