Kingston Cycling Campaign

Sign the Petition Keep the one way trial on King’s road

The "Friends of Kingston Gate" say that the ongoing trial of one-way working 2 way for bikes on Kings), on upper Kings Road and New Road (near #RichmondPark Kingston Gate) is at risk of being halted by the Council. They have a petition here www.change.org/p/keep-the-o...

Have you ever seen a bike lane sweeper - pulled behind a bike?

Volunteers in Kirkland have a new tool that attaches to the back of an e-bike. It's good for protected bike lanes, sidewalks, and narrow trails.

A red triangle warning sign depicting a cycle skidding with a sign beneath "CYCLISTS CAUTION Roundabout may be slippery" and a blue roundabout sign above.

Lots of new signs in #RichmondPark. Not seen this design for "slippery cyclists" anywhere before.

Lots of leaves on cycle lane on Kingston Hill

'Tis the season where we struggle to get Kingston Council to sweep up leaves on pavements and cycle leaves 🎄🍂. When we reported these leaves in the cycle lane the case was closed with the comment "Unable to remove or clear" 🙄

Excavations in the footway exposing pipes and large cables.

Uh-oh! Repairs to a high voltage cable mean that the cycle track on Kingston High Street is closed at the junction with Kingston Hall Road.

The artwork "Out of Order" toppling red phone boxes) artwork in Kingston, with a bike frame locked to a bike stand, missing wheels and a saddle and a chain.

#KingstonBikeTheft is Out of Order.

New (replacement) bike stands outside KFC, Clarence Street.

New bike stands outside "The Rex", with the Kingston bike hub (400+ spaces) in the background.

We've spotted more bike parking stand installations. Locations: Clarence Street outside the KFC and the new apartment block "The Rex", and on Kings Road.

No chance of the lights under the bridge being fixed...

Blue plastic barriers block the Skerne Road cycle route under the railway bridge.

Seems that what is possibly the busiest cycle route in the borough was closed without warning or consideration of cyclists. #SkerneRoad

Wheel-bender "gripper" bike stands.

Terrible NEW bike parking installed by Eden Walk shopping centre. We'll ask the Council to request its removal. #KingstonBikeTheft

The obvious thing is to remove the planter box, which obscures the views between drivers. It's not needed. There is a No Entry sign on a post. Also, drivers on Park Road need to drive within the speed limit.

A view of Kings Road signed as one-way but with contra-flow cycling permitted.

We've been told that there's a lot of opposition to the trial measures in Kings Road, Tudor Road and Crescent Road. Probably the most anger has been at the Crescent Road change. Kings Rd and Tudor Rd are not permanent changes - still only trials. Survey: www.kingstonletstalk.co.uk/highways-and...

Question 4: Donyou support the trial on Kings Road, making it one way, towards Queens Road with cycling permitted in both directions.

The new LCC map of 'Dangerous Junctions (for cyclists) in London highlights the risks in north Kingston. Most dangerous junction is assessed to be Kings Road with Park Road (mini roundabout), 3rd is London Rd juntion with Birkenhead Ave (opposite ASDA), and #4 Queen's Road/ Crescent Road.

The kerb 'upstand' is minimal there because the junction has been built as a very, very subtle "raised table".

We can take this matter up with the council. It is confusing. Possibly, the designer expected that people on bikes would take the route we marked in red and just hoped there wouldn't be conflict.

Hi, the crossings for cyclists going east to West are shown here in green. The red line is what cyclists should not be doing as they would be going through a (Toucan) crossing being used by pedestrians and potentially cyclists. The layout is confusing and lacking in markings and signs.

Man goes 'full baboon' to confront Leeds bike thieves in Headingley - BBC News Alex Morris was sat in a Leeds cafe when he decided to challenge three would-be bike thieves.

Midweek ride to Ashtead

Wednesday 19th November. A cold damp start, not too surprising that 6 late cancellations, including 1 who got the wrong train! Just 12 Cyclists in 1 group, left via Portsmouth Rd, -alas a coming together of 2 Bikes, with 1 having a jammed front Brake, about to abandon the…

4 new stainless steel bike stands with tapping bars. To the left of the Guildhall as you look at it.

Three bike parking stands parallel to the kerb outside Anytime Fitness (opposite the Bentall Centre)/ near Skerne Road.

We've noticed some new cycle parking stands in Kingston. Have you spotted any other new ones in the borough? We had requested the ones near Anytime Fitness.

Rude. Driver parks their van across the Little Wood Street cycle track for a couple of hours. RBK Parking enforcement officers nowhere to be seen.

Bread pudding ride to Northolt

Kingston has a #BromptonDock near Surbiton station. Great value for users We asked Kingston Council for one near Kingston Station as part of the bike hub project, but we were told it was too expensive. It's time to ask the again! #Brompton.
