Traffic light pedestrian crossing.

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.

Nice video of a quiet Canteen street. I like it shows someone hiring a PeddleMe cargo bike to take them somewhere.

Well done for getting in the MSM Mr Monk.
"New research shows that 43 per cent of riders in London donโ€™t feel comfortable, despite the cityโ€™s cycling revolution in recent years. "

Would you like to take part in Kidical Mass London this spring - which is shaping up to be the biggest one yet? ๐ŸŽ‰

If so, Green School Runs and the Cargo Collective are organising a feeder ride from Hampstead, and weโ€™d love you to join us!

๐Ÿšฒ Taking your bike on a UK train and unsure where the bike space stops?

Stand in the middle third of the platform (slightly rear).

๐Ÿš† Avanti/LNER/GWR โ€“ specific coach (check reservation)
๐Ÿš† Thameslink/Southern/Southeastern โ€“ often first/last carriage
๐Ÿš† Overground/Elizabeth line โ€“ near cab ends

๐Ÿšจ Following cycle theft, 15% of people stop cycling altogether โ€“ thousands of Londoners robbed of the chance to ride into work, or to school with their children.

๐Ÿšฒ If London is to become a world class cycling city, theft must be taken seriously โ€“ sign our petition to demand action: bit.ly/4bRyUXr

London's Church Street Removed the Traffic and Created a Walking, Biking & Transit Paradise! (LTN)
YouTube video by Streetfilmsยฎ London's Church Street Removed the Traffic and Created a Walking, Biking & Transit Paradise! (LTN)

A few years ago over 2000 angry people signed a petition against Church Street bus gate.
They said nobody agreed, it would hurt small businesses & destroy the high street. www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/2110921...
Watch how it turned out here:

Do you cycle to the Ladies or Mens Pond for a dip? Or perhaps to Highgate?
Please take the 3 min survey and ask for:
- A safe Cycle Lane (especially the 1st uphill section to Millfield Lane)
- A ban on Pavement parking (throughout Camden)

๐Ÿšฒ Why bike is king in central London: the best way to cycle from Tottenham Court Road to Aldwych
YouTube video by London cycle routes ๐Ÿšฒ Why bike is king in central London: the best way to cycle from Tottenham Court Road to Aldwych

I love this cycle route through Camden from Tottenham Court Road to Aldwich. We need a new Monopoly set with a bike instead of a car.

Please do take this 3 minute survey to show your support for a new segregated cycle path linking Camden to Caledonian Park, Lumpy Hill playground, the Tennis Centre and the football pitches. The link would also join to Cycleways C38 (Liverpool Road) and C50 (Hyde Estate/Hemingford Road/York Way).

Who else has a camera on their cargo bike - or on a bike you carry children on?

๐Ÿšฒ Are they necessary?
๐Ÿšฒ A good idea?
๐Ÿšฒ Do they change drivers' behaviour?
๐Ÿšฒ Provoke negative reactions?
๐Ÿšฒ Do they make you feel safer?

We'd love to know your thoughts.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Tell us in the comments.

This morning outside Seven Sisters tube station in Tottenham. TfL not able to build a proper Cycleway here but is able to maintain and enable driver behaviour like this. It's little wonder nobody uses these cycle racks.
