Could really do with this approach here!

Hackney Cyclist@hackneycyclist.bsky.social · yesterday

A new housing development under construction in the Netherlands The cycle infrastructure is already in place, complete with junctions ready to connect to future homes, along with dedicated bus lanes Active and sustainable travel is planned from the very beginning, not bolted on as an afterthought

Bus lanes are not safe cycling infra, because buses have to pull in front of those cycling. Dangerous & stressful even when everyone is careful & follows the rules. Protected cycleways with floating bus stops make this kind of near miss impossible. (Video from Old Street—thankfully not in Newham!)

The cycle shuttle bus for the Silvertown Tunnel could carry foot passengers in the future, according to Transport for London. Only between 100-130 journeys are made on each weekday on the buses, which run from 6.30am to 9.30pm each day. greenwichwire.co.uk/2026/07/28/s...

Healthy Streets Scorecard: no change in position for Greenwich since 2025 results. "The borough still needs stronger delivery on all its sustainable and active travel infrastructure."

Healthy Streets Scorecard 2026

No change to position for Greenwich since 2025 results Here's what they report: "Greenwich remains in 22nd place overall this year, with its final Healthy Streets Scorecard score unchanged at 3.37 out of 10. The borough’s results are mixed: there has been some progress, but also reversals and data corrections which mean the headline score has barely moved." "The clearest positive change is on 20mph roads, where coverage rose from 62.0% to 68.9%.

greenwichcycle.wordpress.com

“Despite TfL delivering more 20mph limits, collisions have risen, and traffic volumes and rollout of cycle tracks have essentially flatlined. “London faces crises of climate, road danger, inactivity-related ill health and far more. TfL needs to make that ‘step change’ now, not later.”

I cycled to work the longer way today. At 5.5 miles, that's further than most UK car trips - yet it took me just 22 minutes We urgently need to unblock and enable the millions of short active trips that are being blocked every day because of our collective car dependency. Our health depends on it

2026 Healthy Streets Scorecard results out: www.healthystreetsscorecard.london The winners? Active travel star Waltham Forest climbed 4 places in rankings, way ahead of every outer London borough & 1/2 inner London boroughs & Islington (& City) topped overall scores. Also for 1st time ever...

The Dutch lead the world in residential bike parking, and it's not by accident. Municipalities have spent 20+ years building programs that put certified, secure bike hangars on residential streets at scale. How the model works, and why cities everywhere are looking to replicate it: buff.ly/EFkQaiX

Greenwich Town Centre has the UNESCO heritage site, the Naval College & Museum, Cutty Sark, market & shops. But it's cursed with too much dangerous traffic. We're working with @Royal_Greenwich to make it safer for visitors, pedestrians & cyclists. royalgreenwich.gov.uk/news/2026/pl...

The Woolwich Foot Tunnel’s broken north lift could finally be fixed by December after four years out of action, according to Greenwich Council. Pedestrians and cyclists have had to use the stairs at the North Woolwich side of the tunnel since August 2022.

SUV buyers undeterred by warnings of risk to pedestrians, UK study finds

SUV buyers undeterred by warnings of risk to pedestrians, UK study finds

Exclusive: Research suggests financial penalties necessary if number of large vehicles on roads is to be reduced Drivers who are told about the safety risks posed by SUVs to cyclists and pedestrians are very unlikely to be deterred from buying one, a new study has found. The findings indicate that if governments want to reduce the number of large, dangerous vehicles on the roads, it is likely to require financial penalties, according to the psychologists at Swansea University who led the research.

On the way I passed schools, the university, shops, parks and neighbourhoods. The route links communities across the city, making everyday journeys possible without a car. Most of this infrastructure has been upgraded in recent years. The Dutch continuously keep investing and improving.

Tonight I cycled from the western edge of Tilburg to the station in the centre, 8km on a continuous fast cycle route. Priority at every junction, and just two traffic lights once the route ends near the station. This is what happens when cycling is designed to be the easiest way to get around.

I shall watch this with interest. There's no way to get 60% of kids actively travelling to school without disrupting current patterns of car-based mobility. This includes making all urban streets safer, not just those right outside schools www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

There's an indicator species for evaluating the safety of your urban infrastructure, and it's not middle-aged men on bikes. It's women, seniors, and kids feeling safe enough to ride in their everyday clothes.

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

We'll make our streets safer with hundreds of new pedestrian crossings, 200 more schools streets, safer speed limits, cc-tv at bus stops, tackling pavement clutter like e-bikes & signage - and so much more.

I want to get more Londoners walking. To make that happen, our streets need to be safer and cleaner. Together with TfL, I'm setting out an action plan for new crossings, safer routes to school and clearer pavements so more Londoners can walk every day.
