🚨 Every year 443 children are injured on the school run in London. That’s the same number of children as a large primary school. 😢 Every injury has a lasting impact on the child and family. This isn’t right. Agree? Support our #streetsforkids campaign www.solvetheschoolrun.org/streetsforkids

London's streets are dangerous and toxic for our children. Join us this election period in asking your council for Streets for Kids.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Vigil for Irene Leardini this evening. Good to see members of the press, Lewisham Council and our local MP attend. We'll be writing to TfL to try to engage in some sort of dialogue about the A2. Hopefully we won't have to do this again.

Incredible work universe in setting it up today for a cinematic cycle with my neighbours to a community meeting. Managed to pass the @lewishamcyclists.bsky.social cargo bike (and rider) on the way out and then happen upon a @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk session packing up on the way back.
Having to leave the workspace where we have run a community cycle workshop for nearly a decade now. Delivering bike fixing, bike maintenance training, refurbishing old bikes and passing them on. All for those on lower incomes in the area. A few memories here.
Fines from speeding go to the Treasury. Cox is putting out deliberate disinformation. And also, speeding is not law abiding by definition.
Bob From Accounts 🚲@bobfromaccounts.bsky.social · 2y agoI believe it comes down to drivers ignoring the speed limit.
And just like that, more than a decade of bike repair workshops in Deptford at Ron Hoskin Hall come to an end. Thanks to everyone who's helped over the years. Mechanics, Volunteers and supporters. You're all wonderful. Here's to the next chapter, wherever that is.
Just loading up the trike for our penultimate Deptford Scout Hut community cycle workshop. 10.30 till 2pm today Childers St SE8 5NU. One more after this in a fortnight: 8th December for our special Winter Fair Farewell with food, drink, cycle jumble
Bromley! Where things end! If you’re coming to the final stage of my Marginal Mystery Tour, thank you. And see you later. 👋
Those who say 20mph/30kmh limits are only needed 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴 are ignoring the fact that children don't live 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴. Children, and everyone else, need the protection of 20mph/30kmh limits on their whole cycling and walking route from home to school, shops, work and friends. It's why #20

I live in a suburban town, and when you gently suggest that perhaps drivers slow down, or, gasp, we install something like a speed hump on a street, drivers act like they've been personally insulted.

Quite a lot going on in December with us. Longer Kent ride on Saturday 7th. Our Winter Fair (and Deptford Hut Farewell) on the 8th and a local parks London ride on the 14th. Details on lcc.org.uk/events-calen...
