Cycling is all fun and games, but what if you need to pick up a couch🛋️, then what? Dutch teenager: 'Hold my🧀sandwich, it's only 10km!'

20mph zones have nothing to do with ‘nudging’ people out of their cars and everything to do with safety and unnecessary deaths and injuries child survival rates increase chance of being killed in an RT accident decreases  overall accident rate lowers

20mph zones are really about "nudging" people out of their cars and restricting mobility. Only a tiny fraction of roads will be returned to 30mph, done grudgingly to manage public opposition and pretend the system is democratic. dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wal…

London desperately needs *every* London borough & our Mayor, TfL to take more & bolder action on #VisionZero and end toll of fatal & serious collisions for *all* road users. More on this & our #DangerousJunctions campaign soon. But notable that both collisions in @wandbc

Not surprising at all. Studies concluded business owners tend to hugely overestimate how many of their customers drive to their shops.

Council scrutiny committee votes to go with the council decision. No further scrutiny required. We will consider our options in relation to this and the precedent it sets


Ben House Reposted

Right. That's all folks. Members now deliberating... outcome soon. We will carry on campaigning for safer junctions and roads in the borough and remind everyone that we campaign for those who want to ride as well as those who already do...

OK Zoe has smashed through the principle issues. The fact that officers willfully ignored a relevant and more suitable design since July. Our design #VisionZero design scores 95% !!

OK here we go! It's the call in meeting for the Pembury Junction decision. We are going to try and live tweet as we go tonight. This is a meeting to see if the scrutiny committee agree with us that the junction design has not been completed correctly

Surprise. Does @activetraveleng have anything to say about this decision @bricycle @Chris_Boardman? Perhaps @willnorman could pull his finger out and make a statement. This sort of crap infra should no longer be acceptable in the UK, and certainly not in London @LouHaigh

No. Fuel Duty is far more progressive than the regressive VAT (the poorer, especially in urban areas, drive less). Taking the freeze off would give some £5 - 8bn. pa. for things we need (health, policing, social care etc.) It's also necessary to cut excessive car use.

So needed. Most of the young people I know in Haringey don’t drive even if they can, they know it’s the daftest way to get round London. This would help give them safe cycling options instead of public transport.

Back in July, I got into trouble for writing about road pricing. But there was one thing so explosive I had to leave it out. Now I'm free, I should finish the story. And, thanks to my new employer, I have the numbers🧵
