After a trip to Finsbury Park we rode home. To get home we hve to cross the A10. There’s a bike lane but it’s out of operating hrs so cars can park.
Safety is a primary reason ppl are put off cycling.
Routes like this need to be safe to encourage more switches from 🚗 to 🚲.

In response to many of the comments; we didn’t take a car to the swimming pool 🏊♂️ because:
1. We don’t have one
2. There isn’t anywhere to park
3. Bike is quicker & healthier
4. We’d prefer not to contribute to the traffic
We all dried off pretty quickly after we got home💦

It still amazes me that some people think that the major issue with this clip is with the child cycling 🤷♀️
Also, I’ll to speak my son about his taxes though as I don’t think he pays income, council or any other form of tax & yet he expects to use the roads 🙄😉

Seeing so many kids cycling safely around the streets of
#Haringey
today shows it’s not their ability which stops them, it’s the safety of our streets!
Let’s make 2024 the year where kids and grownups can get from A-B safely.

I love how easy it is to get from
#Tottenham
to
#Walthamstow
on safe
#cycling
infrastructure.
Infrastructure like this 👇makes bike travel more accessible, especially for kids.
More 🚲 = fewer 🚗 = less traffic & cleaner air.
What’s not to love ❤️?

Good morning London! 🚲🇬🇧
At peak times, people
#cycling
represent 40% of road traffic in the City and 27% throughout the day.
Enabling more people to walk & cycle to work is a vital part of building a healthier and more sustainable capital for everyone 🙌

This 30 second clip demonstrates that in London:
🚲 cycling is the quickest way to get from A-B
🚗 it’s the vehicles which cause the traffic

That’s why we’re part of the estimated 1.3 million ppl in London who travel by bike.
It’s a no brainer 🧠. It’s the

As London builds, ppl join 🚲!

Cycling is a healthy and environmentally friendly way for families to get from A to B in
#London
. Cars parked in
#cycling
lanes make
#bike
travel dangerous. The
#cycle
lane on the
#A10
is particularly bad for this.

I’ve been commuting by
#bike
for 15 ish years. I ❤️ it because it’s:
💰free (minus the cost of the bike)
🤸🏼♀️good exercise (I hate the gym)
🌍good for the planet
🚲gives me freedom
Honestly I can’t recommend it enough.
…& loads of others seem to agree! 🙌

On our way home from school a man drove a van spontaneously & directly onto the pavement, narrowly missing 4 kids😤
He did this to let a car pass. Pavements shouldn’t be used as passing places. Cars already have most of the space on this st.
Allocation of space needs rethinking

Another grocery run & as it’s Sunday the painted bike lanes are out of action ☹️.
I believe if there was segregated cycling infra along busier roads (like the A10) more ppl would feel safe making shorter journeys by bike leading to fewer cars on the road & less traffic! 🚲💚🚲

We’ve just had our 2nd successful

sharing outing since selling our car earlier this year.
It was super easy to do:
👉We asked our lovely neighbours to borrow their car & they agreed
👉I insured myself for the day (£24)
👉Off we went

Crazy idea coming up 🤪
Let’s ban private cars along Oxford St. For the avoidance of doubt I’m not inc cabs, buses, disabled or delivery vehicles.
It does include mammoth vehicles like 👇. I had a good look in & I can confirm the driver wasn’t transporting a fridge, garde 1/2

Seeing a little girl
#cycling
in a tutu makes me realise how precious people are. And not being able to cycle from A-B safely troubles me.
Cycling infrastructure in Tottenham is definitely improving, however our busier roads still need improvements.
Generally we can get…1/3

Many people have been commenting recently that people don’t and/or can’t

Well…I can officially confirm it IS possible to cycle when it’s raining ☔️ 👍
And, it’s actually not that bad 😉 (I do obviously prefer it when it’s sunny ☀️ however)

“Today less than 1 in 3 cycle trips in London are done by women”
“Only 1% of London’s kids get to school by bike. In the Netherlands, it's 75%.”
I want a city that is safe to cycle, in every borough, for every journey!
That’s why today was so important. 🙌

If we want
#cycling
to be a viable alternative to other modes of transport we need to build safe & continuous
#infrastructure
. Having a few KMs of
#cyclinglane
leading onto busy & congestive roads won’t be enough to encourage people onto
#bikes
.

Some of the responses to this posts are unbelievable 🙄 Imagine the traffic if all these people were in cars.
If we make roads safer more ppl would feel comfortable travelling by bike. In turn, the roads will be freed up for ppl who need them eg tradespeople, buses, taxis, 1/2

At the
@London_Cycling
summit yesterday
@carlafrancome
said “We have a tale of 2 cities in London”
This morning we experienced a tale of 2 roads. Beautiful cycle along quiet wide road, then💥 we reached mayhem.
Looking forward to the day when our roads tell tale of one city.

Earlier this year we sold our car. Since then, we’ve been exploring car sharing with neighbours & today is our 1st car sharing experience. 🙌
It’s much easier than I thought💭 , you just insure & go!

Ladies & gentlemen, let me introduce to you to…
The cycling superhighway (CS1).

When I chat to pals about commuting by bike one of the primary reasons they don’t is the fear of traffic & cars. If we improve this 👇 & more people will cycle.

Delighted to receive a Haringey Hero award 🥇 for trying to make Haringey a better place…mainly by trying to improve pavements & cycling infrastructure to promote active travel.
Hopefully in a few years time we’ll see a healthier, happier society & planet!

This junction in
#Haringey
used to be tricky to
#cycle
through. The two way traffic left little to no room for
#cyclists
. The filtered street makes this route safer & encourages more people to travel by bike & foot, meaning fewer cars on the road. 🙌
