Big thank you to the teams out building the new sections for Cycleway 9 to Brentford in West London. 🚲🚲🚲 @LBofHounslow @TfL

Last chance: Support walking and cycling improvements between #Wembley and #Harlesden on a road which has seen over 90 collisions since 2018. This consultation closes on Thursday 21 December, so tell TfL you support the scheme today! haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/wembley-harles…

@Spoquey @willnorman @thamesclippers The reason a bridge isn't possible is because of the weird power held by the port of London authority, which requires access to the Pool of London by high ships – even though that access contributes nothing detetectable to Londoners.

New East London cross-river walking & cycling ferry planned for Rotherhithe to Canary Wharf with @thamesclippers. 💚New RORO electric boat - with capacity for 100🚲/♿️& 150🚶‍♀️ 💚New accessible pier - that will sit alongside the hotel. thamesclippers.com/about-us/cross…

Whereas all the Brent and Harrow LTNs were removed. Such a strong inner/outer London discontinuity of policy – and it doesn't correspond to political parties.

@Only9built I knew an elderly cyclist who refused to wear high-vis because he said it 'made him a target'. I think many of us will relate to this. The main danger to cyclists is not from people who can see them perfectly well in black and moan about it on social media, it's from psychopaths.

Just encountered a whole peloton of entirely black clothed bi-cyclist in the fog. What is wrong with you cyclists in the Shire..?? #BeSeenBeSafe🚴‍♂️

Who should we prioritise on our streets? The school run before the Streatham Wells LTN // The school run after the Streatham Wells LTN. We know which we prefer ❤️ It's still very early days, but already children are able to travel through our neighbourhood more safely

London's network of Cycleways continues to grow. Great seeing construction progressing on York Way between Kings Cross & Camden Rd. This introduces new raised stepped cycle tracks in both directions as well as other improvements. @tfl @IslingtonBC @CamdenCouncil

I’m spending very little time on X now. I wonder where other people who followed my tweets have gone primarily – is it to Dorsey’s new one, or the one named after an extinct mammal, or the Zuckerberg one?

PCPs are another sub-prime mortgage crisis in the making – a legal pyramid scheme.

A series of community co-design workshops planned this month, with the first one tomorrow, to improve transport around #ChurchEnd and #Roundwood. #GreenCorridors eventbrite.co.uk/e/church-end-a…?

@CHAIRRDRF @hugorifkind @NickCohen4 Maybe, but I don't express a view over whether calling for a ceasefire in this case is sensible or not. I'm worried that the right to protest is getting eroded by finding lots of odd days/occasions/circumstances when protest is unacceptable.

@VoleOSpeed @hugorifkind @NickCohen4 Interesting point David. BTW an armistice involves an agreement between protagonists, which can be quite different from one side calling a "ceasefire".

Today's column is about the risk for British Jews in becoming a cause célèbre for advocates of illiberalism. thetimes.co.uk/article/073f1a…

@CHAIRRDRF @baoigheallain @London_Cycling Yes, in Brent, though it is good the Wrottesley Rd/Harrow Rd junction is highlighted again, as @BrentCyclists have campaigned on it without success, without obviously dangerous spots like Staples Corner & Northwick Park, the map just seems peculiar and I think will lose cred.

@baoigheallain gets it right here. I have to say I am disappointed with @London_Cycling here.

@CHAIRRDRF @hugorifkind @NickCohen4 Isn't there a confusion here between Armistice Day (11/11) and Remembrance Sunday? I agree R. Sunday should be a solemn day undisturbed by protests. A. Day is the anniversary of an armitice (i.e ceasefire). I don't see why folks shouldn't be calling for another one on that day.

@hugorifkind @NickCohen4 I thought this was a good thought provoking article @hugorifkind - but I still think that ANY march/demo (apart from the official ceremonies) on Armistice Day is a bad idea.

@MattNavarra This feature appears to he been removed? I can’t find it, and no trace of it in FB documentation.

I see that Tweetdeck has been replaced. Now called XPro, costs £100/year. No thanks Elon. I used this a lot to keep up with various society accounts I run. I am now essentially leaving Twitter/X. I have accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube; see some of you there.

So - what are Westminster Council's plans for #OxfordStreet? 👀 Will they transform walking, wheeling & cycling on the 'nation's high street'? You've got until 31 August to have your say. Here are our thoughts... 🧵& blog 1/ lcc.org.uk/news/oxford-st…

@BicycleDutch I tried cycling in Berlin before the pandemic. It was certainly better overall than London, due to the larger number of bike paths and lanes, but, as you say, they are narrow (despite v. wide roads) and poorly-maintained. Also designs have a lot of conflict with other road users.

This is a studio recording of my Romance for Violin and Cello (Op. 15) – an old work (1997) that I revised for a concert in last year's year's Harrow Summer Music Festival. I've made it into a video using still photos taken at the recording studio. youtu.be/AonXWRAEo0M
