It was good to see this article about Westminster by @carlafrancome.bsky.social drop through our letterbox this week. We’ve worked hard over the last four years, and are looking forward to the future. We are a broad church politically and will be building relationships with all Councillors 🚲🚲

I’m very excited to have an article in an actual MAGAZINE for the first time ever! And you might not be surprised to hear it includes the term “the Hokey Cokey”. The piece is in London Cyclist magazine. It’s published quarterly and sent to over 12,000 people in the … 1/9

Is a cycle campaigning meeting even a campaigning meeting without cake, and a fold-up Brompton in the corner? Discuss. Keep it up guys 👏🏻👏🏻

We had all the ingredients for a good campaigning meeting this month in Westminster – bikes, tea, passion for change, and cake – two types of cake 🍰 We met at Triangle Studios on Church Street, near to the iconic bike shop Westminster Wheels, and had some interesting people around the table. 1/7

It’s going to be a crucial next few months in Westminster, and @westminster-lcc.bsky.social have already met up to discuss their strategy. They’ll be liasing with Councillors and new cabinet members and working out the lay of the land with schemes. Good luck guys we’re right behind you! 🍀🍀🚲🚲🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️

Interesting to see this leaflet from the Bayswater Conservatives today. Blink and you could miss an important point. They say they will: “Oppose Labour’s Disruptive Bayswater Road cycle lane changes” and “fix our broken roads instead”. This is disappointing to read - 1/4

As we head full pelt into election season, it’s pretty😯🤪🤯to think how far things have come in @citywestminster.bsky.social . For decades, this borough was the "missing link" in London’s cycle network. In 2026, it is starting to become the heart of it. Here’s why the shift here matters👇

Here at WCC we’re interested in road safety for ALL, so we were intrigued when a new (and bizarrely contentious) kind of crossing started popping up in our borough: the ‘Side Zebra’! There’s only 11 in London and they’re all in Westminster. So what are they and do they work?

Rollercoaster thread on what's been going on at WCC HQ for the last 3 months - with some great news at the end!

Big news everyone 🔔🔔 I have exclusive info about the big Bayswater Road consultation that ended last month. And it’s in this highly influential publication that you might never have heard of – SEBRA magazine. Ae you all know, I’m a member of HCC. But I work in Marylebone … 1/15

What do these famous faces all have in common (apart from a bicycle and no helmet)??!! They are all Westminster residents (including one former one - RIP Vivienne Westwood)! Which leads us to ask: Who do YOU know who lives in our historic borough? Why do we ask? TWO reasons…

Planning to celebrate this very soon!

We're expanding London's network of cycleways, making streets safer & enabling more people to choose healthy & sustainable ways to travel. Great to see new protected bike lanes being built on Westbourne Terrace in Westminster 🚲🚲🚲 👏 @adamhug.bsky.social @maxsullivan.bsky.social & team & TfL

Extremely excited re: this news! More on this to come...

Max Sullivan@maxsullivan.bsky.social · 6mo ago

I love the smell of kerb delineators in the morning. Crews busy before 9am today installing new protected cycle infrastructure on Westbourne Terrace, George Street and Stanhope Place.

VOTE FOR WESTMINSTER’S FUTURE! 🗳️✅With local election season about to go into high gear, now is the time for residents to reflect on how we've turned red lights into green ones when it comes to cycling & let council leaders know @citywestminster.bsky.social that you WANT MORE CHANGE! 💪🚴‍♀️ ⬇️

😀😍💪 A HUGE thank you for the stellar support on the Bayswater Road consultation 🚴🚴🚴(now closed). The rallying (including more great coverage 👀⬇️) was totally cheering 🎉🙌👏 & testament to the brilliant, inclusive & big-hearted pedalling people, in our fair capital. Happy friday, you wonderful lot! ❤️

It’s really kicked off @citywestminster.bsky.social this week, with plans for an excellent cycle route out, campaigns against the plans from an Ex Conservative MP and a residents’ association, too (who’d have thought?!) Read all about it in the local paper, Westminster Extra 📯. Full story ⬇️ 👀

Hot off the press 🔥🔥🔥! The BAYSWATER ROAD consultation deadline is EXTENDED by a week, giving more opportunity for responses (after a campaign to stop it)! Take a look at the video of before and after on the plans! We are really excited about these possibilities - frankly, how could you not be? ⬇️

⏰⚠️⏰⚠️ ALERT! The Bayswater road consultation is under heavy threat despite the obvious benefits. The weekend saw 400+ responses and it's IMPERITIVE we show strong support ahead of the WEDS 28th DEADLINE.

Regent's canal is a popular🚴‍♀️route - efficient, vehicle free & scenic. But cycling after dark vs during the day feels a vastly different proposition. How socially safe would you feel here at night? @londoncycling.bsky.social volunteers tested 2 new proposed routes to bypass the canal ⬇️

With so much good work to trumpet @citywestminster.bsky.social was commended by @londoncycling.bsky.social and our own @marksmithies.bsky.social won an award 🎉🥳🙌... We EVEN spotted this CYCLING ELF doing a victory lap in the city! Feels like Christmas has come early - bring on 2026!!!

Isn't it crazy when positive change seems possible!? 😀🤪🙌 Londoners have cycled & manifested HARD & @CityWestminster are delivering! Latest eg: the brand new Bayswater Road consultation, with kerbed protection for a vital East-West corridor. Full details & cyclist testimony⬇️

LONDONERS! ⏰⏰⏰ Today is the LAST DAY to support the sustainable Transport Strategy consultation for Westminster. The borough has voted with its feet by adopting a LOT more cycling & walking, so let's make sure transport planning now reflects that! 🚴🚶‍♀️🌿https://sts.commonplace.is/

What fresh joy is this? Are we even in London? Yes! This is the absolutely stunning Italian Gardens that grace the north side of Hyde Park. You might even be able to catch a glimpse of them on your commute, if you’re cycling along Bayswater Road. Speaking of…

Just when you thought London couldn't feel any more glorious, up pops this fantastic bit of cycling infrastructure - TULIP WANDS 🌷🚴‍♂️🌷🚴‍♂️! They’re being installed on Sussex Gardens and are an absolute joy to behold and causing all sorts of delight, as we discovered…

👀⏰🚶‍♀️PEOPLE! It’s the LAST DAY to throw your support behind turning Oxford Street from this…to this! And yes, pedestrianisation does mean NO vehicles, including BICYCLES 🚳 and YES, we FULLY support that! BUT.. action.lcc.org.uk/oxfordst

London!🚨⏰👀 Just 4 days remain to say a huge YES to @london.gov.uk's plans to pedestrianise Oxford Street. Imagine this with NO vehicles, strolling people & cafe culture! BUT with thousands of cyclists needing new routes in an area bereft of cycleways, we have BIG concerns...

🚴‍♀️⏰🚨🚴‍♂️Pedalling People! The clock is ticking for your say on @london.gov.uk's pedestrianisation plan for Oxford Street. We are giddily in favour BUT without any new cycleways, safety in an already tricky area will be a BIG worry. Full story to follow... lcc.org.uk/news/yes-to-...

Yes to a traffic-free Oxford Street
