@crisortunity @RBKC And it's a horrible place to go shopping: disgusting traffic fumes, drivers bullying you when you try to cross roads. If I'm going to risk my life getting somewhere, I at least want it to be nice when I get there.

Kensington High Street, a literal hell scape for cyclist and pedestrians, STILL has more actual people travelling down it by bike in the morning peak than it does in all these cars, which mostly have a single occupant. Don’t get me started on the pedestrian crossings! @RBKC 🤡🚗

THREE "sorry love, didn't see you"s in one morning. Guess it must be true that women over 40 are completely invisible 🙃

No better way to get home after a sunny evening at @ChiswickCricket @allstarscricket @DynamosCricket #schiswickltn

I'm always cheered up by the Hounslow High Street pedestrians, who just walk where the heck they want because they know there are no cars. I wish more shopping streets were like this.

@PauloCampbell I can't stop thinking about the idea of replacing the CAF with a game of Dodgeball.

Lionel Road South: once a horrible rat run, now you can hear birds singing, crowds cheering, people chatting. Anyone want it back how it was? No, thought not. @LBofHounslow @HounslowCycling @BrentfordFC

@rupertcchandler @BetterEaling Walking my bike.

@CloverSummers @BetterEaling Not to rain on your parade, but what are you doing on the pavement? As a road user should you not just wait for a clear road and then proceed?

In case you were wondering if you can transport an 8 balloon by bike the answer is yes no problem! Left arm through one hole, rest of the balloon resting across your body. Just don't make any journeys where you might need to indicate left #quaxing

@sebdunnett Crossing this junction with children: "Look left. And right. And the other left. And in front of you. And behind. And now just check the first left again..." 🙄

@KewEcofair was so much fun! Great to meet the legendary @davewalker, and chat to @RichmondCycling and @RuthMayorcas, and have bike smoothies, AND I got this amazing jacket for £5! Thanks to all the organisers, hope you'll do it again 🌿💚

@ChiswickHighRd @LindseyBareham One Pot Wonders is my favourite cookbook! I've got a simple fuel-saving tip for you in return: don't drive to the local shops if you're only buying a leg of lamb and a bunch of parsley.

@LindseyBareham Because you have to have a car to buy your cheese, fruit or meat... Other methods of transport are available.

Anyone with any sense avoids driving on and near Chiswick High Road. It must be ruining trade for local shops, specially the independent ones like Bayley&Sage and the butcher

@tfl Overground is so good, I can't remember why I ever used to drive between W and NW London. Really busy all morning on a grey Feb Tuesday. The fact it matches my @BromptonBicycle and scarf is just an added bonus 🧡

One is a city run-around, the other an decorative vanity project. Something tells me the patrons of New Bond Street and I don't have them the same way round 🙃

Kids can cycle themselves to holiday camp in a #15minutecity. And I can get all the way across Chiswick to collect them, on time, despite only remembering with 7 minutes to spare 😯 (with a bonus cardio workout along the way)

Remember to keep your feelings within the acceptable range of emotions, girls 🤬 @letclothesbe

Plenty of demand for #c9 on its first day open after the side road works finished @katherinedunne @HounslowCycling @ChiswickHighRd

@nickcope4 thought you might want to know that alternative-you and alternative-Norman are in the Metro today, chatting about a wall covered in plants...

First time travelling with my dad and his mobility scooter, but not taking the car. Brilliantly accessible black cabs, lovely flat KX and great train trip to York with the help of @LNER assistance. We'll definitely do it again!
