This was Such Fun; lots of families loving cycling together protected from car, bus, lorry and van drivers by marshals. A couple of impatient car drivers - one wanting to drive through us - but mostly well behaved. More please ! @londoncycling.bsky.social

If your city leaders see something AMAZING that another city is doing but claim “we could never do THAT in OUR city,” don’t believe them. Leadership doesn’t make excuses. It takes action. #UrbanTruth
