More investment, more infrastructure =more cycling. Much more needed please 🙏

Camden's officers just seem to get it. Inspiring to see one borough that understands junction design being paramount to safety

This was Mrs Thomas's chair who lived in Finsbury Park from 1935 to 2000. It is still in the same house now.

Tories pledge to scrap landmark climate legislation Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch says her party would axe legally binding targets to cut emissions.

Climate change is already damaging the nature, beauty and heritage we care for. Without deep and sustained cuts to emissions, nature faces an even more perilous future and the places people love will continue to suffer.

Now our election and we have a new pair of coordinators as @microlambert.bsky.social and @liamduffy.dev become joint role holders.

Congratulations to them and a huge thanks to both @garmonap.bsky.social and @netwench.bsky.social who will be stepping away from @hackneylcc.bsky.social soon.

Now we have @tomfyans.bsky.social the @londoncycling.bsky.social CEO to talk about membership. He discusses the membership offer. Nearly half of new members come via word of mouth. So if you are a member please share the good work
RT please 🙏

OK, Quick Q&A:

What is the plan for cycling along Amhurst road at Mare Street?

A: a bus gate, operating 7-7. So no protected lanes.

Someone jokes that cyclists disappear at 7pm 🤣

Garmon finishes by saying we as a group want to get Hackney to high levels of cycling access. Making cycling a natural form of transport for everyone regardless of age, gender or ability.

Coming forward, they remain underwhelming. The delivered LTNs are less ambitious than discussed and the continued lack of camera use on some filters is problematic.

The good news is that some of the smaller stuff is being done well. Cycle parking and school streets remain a proud delivery area

Some great developments but also a couple of really disappointing schemes on the cards more recently.

OK, now on to the political asks that we had worked on. We had 5 asks that we put to the Mayor.

There remains a sense that Hackney has lost its way on delivery post pandemic. Whilst schemes are

OK, first up is our amazing coordinator @garmonap.bsky.social talking through what's been happening and what's still to come in the borough

Hey hey! It's autumn 🍂 it is Hackney Cyvling campaign AGM and I thought let's share some news! Thread incoming...

Raskin: "The dictators of the world have got nothing to fear from this hearing. Republicans called it to attack our democratic allies in Europe. The star witness is not a human rights leader like Navalny, but a far-right pro-Putin politician who leads the UK Reform Party."

Total bollocks. 40 years of LTN here in Hackney. 3 delivery drivers came to my house yesterday. No problem with trades either.

Its defo not our neighbours. But we have a lot of stolen phones being swapped in the street.
Fortunately, local Police are busy arresting grandmas in parliament rather than violent phone snatchers

Don't think so. We have also had 2 police officers visit. Today was a Japanese tourist with very little English.

Had yet another person knock on my door saying their stolen phone was located in my house today. 3rd in 2 months.
Is find my iPhone not that good or are the phones in the local "second hand" phone shop 50metres away?

I can guess

A photo of a road behind a bus stop in Hackney. There are no crossing points.

Yes! Or this fine example of a road in Hackney which doesn't seem to face any scrutiny from certain former cllrs

A meme showing 2 statements. Cycle lanes behind bus stops bad. Roads behind bus stops good.

Remember folks...

It's the usual reductive nonsense from people with an agenda that doesn't stand up to a moments scrutiny.

Yes we could ban driveways, in the same way the MP in question wants to ban cycle paths. The question is, why is one suggestion unthinkable but the other deemed OK?

You LOVE to see it

A family cycles on CS2

In the five years leading up to the replacement of blue paint with segregated cycle tracks and floating bus stops 5 people were killed on CS2. In the ten years since they were constructed no cyclists had died and there have been no significant collisions between cycles and pedestrians at bus stops

….Hackney with protected cycle lanes and floating bus stops (2/2)

Hackney without protected cycle lanes and floating bus stops versus….(1/2)

An ammendment sheet relating to banning cycle paths near bus stops.

@meghillier.bsky.social has tabled 8 amendments to the Bus Services bill. All 8 relate to cycle tracks around bus stops. None relate to motor vehicles.
It goes against Hackney Councils own guidance by calling for an outright ban.

Take a look at this thread. This is what the absence of decent infrastructure for cycling causes: kids end up riding on the pavement because the roads are unsafe.

Driveways open onto these pavements without adequate risk assessment, because drivers get the benefit of the presumption of right.
