Roadside flowers for a fallen cyclist, South Norwood Hill, Croydon. Heart attack, not RTC. Same age as me, teenage kids. Life can be brutal sometimes. 💔 And the two little dudes that cycled by on their wee 16in wheels as I stopped to take the photo say: and yet.

We are not amused.

Cunts have just stolen my bike from the garage and fucked my garage door. If anyone sees this around Croydon, let me know.

Will it be "Nul Points" for Jason Perry and the London Borough of Croydon? Tune in to find out.

one of the biggest errors the entire world made in the last century was handing over to cars the streets that once belonged to our children and communities it shouldn't surprise me but this is truly one of the most nihilistic and terrible takes I've ever heard ⤵️

What a shame that Croydon residents are now missing out on these benefits. Hopefully all the mayoral candidates will promise to reinstate the ones that had to be removed through total incompetence.

It won't come as a surprise to many, but good to see The Times pointing out that people actually like less traffic in local neighbourhoods. It concludes that no big change is ever introduced without some initial opposition - so leaders should stick to their guns! www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

Perry’s council fails to spend £74,000 from road safety budget

Under the Tory Mayor, Croydon axed six lollipop patrols outside primary schools last year in a cost-cutting measure. Yet now, according to Croydon East MP Natasha Irons, the council is sitting on a…

Protected cycle lanes =/= Painted lines

Physical separation between cyclists, pedestrians and motorists key to safer streets, research shows

The study also found that bad behaviour is the biggest contributing factor towards streets hostile to walking and wheeling

‘We live in a danger zone’: locals call for action on speeding

Residents in Upper Norwood staged a protest this week to demand urgent action from Mayor Jason Perry and Croydon Council to tackle dangerous speeding on their road, where police have confirmed some…

Croydon is fortunate to have 20mph zones on most of its minor roads. But they're missing from our high streets, and the busiest roads in built-up parts of the borough. We'd like to see a commitment to extending 20mph borough wide in 2026 manifestos - exceptions only where footfall is negligible.

Will Norman@willnorman.co.uk · last yr.

The evidence is clear - 20mph zones save lives. In London, they’ve cut deaths and serious injuries by 34% and child fatalities by 75%. That's why we need to see more 20mph areas. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Be careful out there, people! Multiple reports of cyclists being mugged for their bikes by moped gangs. Shirley Church Road (Croydon) and College Road (Dulwich) targeted in recent days. Keep an eye out for these scumbags and report anything suspicious to the police! @insidecroydon.bsky.social

Croydon Social Cycling has made it to West Sussextoday 🚵‍♀️ @croydoncyclists.bsky.social @londoncycling.bsky.social

Our Sunday Social rides continue - and with the clocks changing, we'll be running a series of weekday evening rides through the summer months as well. RSVP for lots more of this ⬇️

Social rides are back! This Sunday we're running an easy 20-miler taking in six parks and commons across South London. Approx. duration 4h including café stops. Normal clothes, age 16+. Meet 10am, Queen's Gardens, CR0. Like this post to RSVP. Weather is currently looking "couldn't be better!" 🌞

Our Social Rides run every Sunday, and we'll keep going all through the winter (wellness and weather permitting). This weekend we'll visit the Dinosaurs in Crystal Palace, head over the brow of the hill down to Dulwich, and back home on the Waterlink Way. Easy pace - all abilities - wrap up warm!

Next Wednesday, 20th November Croydon Cyclists - meet 7pm-7:30pm, downstairs @ the Spread Eagle. We'll join the wider Green Networking & Social upstairs from 7:30pm.

Croydon's falling far behind the pace here. Our Social Rides often use the Colliers Wood to Merton route - it's a good example of how to do a low-intervention, low-traffic route in outer London. Would be fairly straightforward to build similar routes here, if there were any political support.
