Dockless ebikes dumped in foot tunnels under Thames. Our Head of Campaigns @psimonk.bsky.social speaking to @itvnews.bsky.social: www.itv.com/watch/news/e... says the issue isn't just the broken-down lifts or GPS signal in a tunnel, it's also the lack of nearby good river crossings for cycling.

Proud to be one of 50+ organisations to sign @bettertransport.bsky.social call for government action. Most London motor vehicle journeys could be done other ways says TfL and cycling has largest potential in cities to help us shift. More walking, wheeling & cycling for health & planet, now please!

We're horrified to see this. No one's cycle trip in London should end this way. Our thoughts are with the man fighting for his life and his family and friends. We will follow up with the Met Police to find out more. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

There's been extensive research on floating bus stops, where cycle tracks pass bus stops on a main road. They need to be designed well - but the claims they're dangerous just don't match the evidence. Without them, cycling won't be inclusive & safe for everyone. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...
Disability campaigners call on mayor to scrap floating bus stops
The stops, first introduced in 2013, involve a cycle lane running between a bus stop and the pavement

Not really a surprise considering the lack of CPZs, protected cycle lanes and streets without thru traffic. Wondering if @lewishamgreenparty.bsky.social will show the necessary political will to improve things. Lot of work needed.

30% of all London drivers, 44% of 18-34s, say they're cycling more or considering it cos of rising fuel prices from US/Iran conflict, says new Lime Bikes survey. Cycling more an "ideal way to beat surging prices" said our Chief Exec to @standard.co.uk.web.brid.gy www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/lime...

Dockless bikes have expanded diversity & popularity of cycling in London. Yes, there are issues with parking, rollout of bays. But London's councils using contracts as revenue streams to create a patchwork of checkpoints & no-go zones threatens uptake. Bad move. www.standard.co.uk/news/transpo...
