We are delighted to support the fabulous, 'Everyday Cyclist' exhibition, on the 9th of July, 4-6pm, in Brockwell Park, offering a variety of cycles for people to ride & a cycle taxi service from outside the lido next to the carpark (side-by-side and wheelchair carrying platform trike).

A poster featuring a vibrant photo of a tan skinned woman with long dark hair, in a red dress sitting, facing the camera, on the rear of a tricycle. The background is of a leafy, park setting. The poster reads, 'Free exhibitions of The Everyday Cyclist by Becky Mursell Photographt, 8th July- 31st August 2026, Brockwell Hall and Brockwell Park (outdoors by the lido). ' It also provides details of a 'Celebration event' on July 9th, between 4-6pm at the Stables Courtyard, Brockwell Hall, featuring free 'Try a Cycle' sessions with Wheels for Wellbeing and a free 'Wooden Bike Build activity with upCYCLE LDN, alll free to attend with no need to book.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death

The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

The further a journey is, the more barriers Disabled people will usually face to completing it. Moving about in our own homes is usually much easier than making a longer trip around our own communities. Her are some of the barriers many Disabled people experience. What barriers do you face?

A very busy graphic showing, from top to bottom, increasing distance required for activities from tens to hundreds to thousands of metres per trip and a range of the cumulative barriers likely to be encountered on increasing length trips. From shortest to longest, activities are moving around own home, moving from home to car/taxi, getting to a bus stop, getting to/around a supermarket/hospital, attending work/education - moving within organisation sites plus commute using public transport, taking children out to nursery/school/activities and play including carrying tired/Disabled children, taking part in local democracy, eg. Standing for election, canvassing, walkabouts, campaigning. Associated with the activities cumulative from top to bottom are stairs, broken lift, narrow doors, limited manoeuvring space, need to make trips in tight timeframes, narrow/obstructed paths, need to be supported &/or support others, few fixed supports, difficult weather- wind/ice/heat/rain, poor/uneven surfaces, injury risk from drivers, need to carry items/equipment longer distances, risk of harassment/abuse, inaccessible bus stop, inaccessible bus, risk of falling on moving public transport, noise, crowds, need to address workplace inaccessibility conflicting with need to maintain good relationships with those in power, organisational expectations including timings, personal appearance etc, support needs of children, moving on unmade surfaces (grass, bark, gravel, mud), need to approach many private, often inaccessible homes, increased risk of harassment/abuse.

Hace demasiado calor. No me gusta. But it's good for cycling numbers. That's the busiest I've seen it outside Tube Stroke days. Even if the counter says just north of 12k for the day. Think that's maybe 2.5k too low.... @cs3cs6count.bsky.social

Embankment counter showing 12,758 cyclists today and 637,840 since the restart in April.

Our latest blogpost on how car-dominated streets are contributing to a public health crisis, and what we can do about it in Hackney www.lowtraffichackney.org/latest-news/...

Why Hackney LTNs are vital for public health and environmental justice

People tend to think of LTNs as a policy to make local streets nicer or better to walk or cycle, or perhaps if they oppose them, how they can make driving less convenient.  But most people don’t...
