City of London Cycling Campaign

@citylcc.bsky.social

We are the City of London group of the London Cycling Campaign @londoncycling.bsky.social, working to make cycling safer, easier and more enjoyable for everyone.

From the CoL Streets and Walkways Sub Committee 21 Jul 2026: at the next meeting on 15 Sep there is going to be yet another discussion about floating bus stops on the Aldgate to Blackfriars route. Member Alison Gowman is planning a meeting for members and officers with NFBUK prior to the committee

3/ London's congestion charge ends at 6pm ... and then the number of motorised vehicles in the City of London rockets. That looks like a policy failure to me. (Unsurprisingly, folk walking are the City's main mode of transport, usually arriving by public transport)

2/ "Compared to summer 2023, people cycling increased 44% and walking and wheeling by 22% over a 24-hour period." "The latest autumn counts (2024) showed that cycling growth, overall traffic reduction and freight reduction are all currently ahead of their respective 2030 targets."

26.Travel patterns in the City of London continued to shift towards more people
walking, wheeling and cycling in summer 2025. Compared to summer 2023,
people cycling increased by 44% and walking and wheeling by 22% over a
24-hour period. These modes now account for 78% of all daytime trips and
87% during peak hours. Footfall reached 83% of pre-pandemic levels when
compared to autumn 2019 counts.
27.Cycling growth has been pronounced over the past two years, with the
biggest growth on dockless cycles, which now make up 31% of all observed
cycles (up from 9% in 2023). Cargo cycle use has more than doubled since
2023, and people cycling now accounts for 45% of all vehicular traffic during
the daytime. Overall the summer 2025 daytime counts showed more people
cycling than motor vehicle activity on the road for the first time, reflecting the
notable growth in people cycling in parallel with a gradual long term reduction
in motor vehicles.
28.The general trend shows that motor vehicle traffic is decreasing in line with
targets. Compared with 2023, total motor vehicle volumes recorded in
summer 2025 decreased by 1% over a 24-hour period. During the daytime
period (7am–7pm), motor vehicle volumes were 9% lower than in 2023, with
the largest reductions observed in cars and private hire vehicles (-11%), taxis
(-11%), motorcycles (-11%), and buses and coaches (-17%).
29.Progress against the City of London Corporation Transport Strategy traffic
KPIs is measured using autumn traffic counts against a 2017 baseline. The
latest autumn counts (2024) showed that cycling growth, overall traffic
reduction and freight reduction are all currently ahead of their respective 2030
targets. Summer 2025 traffic volumes are broadly consistent with these
trends.
30.Data relating to collisions and injuries on the streets of the Square Mile is
published by DfT each September for the previous calendar year, and will be
reported in late 2026

Here's how you close a cycle lane for roadworks. Close a lane for cars to create a temporary cycle pane, install ramps so people on bikes can exit and re-enter the cycleway. 📍 Upper Thames Street, London

LAST CALL!! Here's a nice way to spend a minute this evening. 😁 Taxi drivers argue they need access thru Bank junction but this simply worsens conditions for those walking, wheeling and cycling and it doesn't add access for taxis to the junction they didn't already have. bank-taxi.commonplace.is
