Living and cycling in Hackney since 2003, I want Hackney to be as safe and comfortable for me and my daughter to cycle here as it is in the Netherlands

@carowoodley @mayorofhackney Listen to children and parents who want safe routes to cycle to school. Stop listening to the rogue officers who want to keep implementing dangerous road designs.

It's one year since I took office as @mayorofhackney The year has gone quickly and there is much more work to do, but I promise to keep listening, learning and doing my best. Thank you to everyone who has helped, challenged, campaigned and given their all - you make #Hackney!

I've just come back from Amsterdam, a fantastic walking and cycling city. Anyone who says that there are too many pedestrians for cycle tracks clearly has absolutely no idea what they are talking about

@SteerTransport @SarahWoodberryD @TfL Question to Tyler: name 5 reasons their design is better: He says its simpler More trees He says too many pedestrians for cycle routes He says the junction is a town centre scheme* *10,000 vehicles a day will pass through this Town Centre junction

Hackney Council have completely lost the plot when it comes to road schemes. Dangerous, lethal designs being pushed through by a few middle aged men who hate cycling. Children will have to continue cycling on the pavement and more deaths will occur as a direct result. Shameful.

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

Today HCC will present at a meeting of the Scrutiny Panel to argue for the Pembury Junction redesign decision to be referred to cabinet. Of 260,000 people, just one 'Hackney resident' gets the same amount of time as HCC to espouse his discredited anti-cycling view: Vincent Stops.

@Hackneycyclist Getting that ferry never fails to be fun! Although the day crossing is looooong!

It reminds me of the time Hackney Councils scrutiny commission met to discuss the use of segregated cycle lanes in the borough, they visited Waltham Forest but didn't contact @Labourstone or the designers, they just had Councillor Vincent Stops do a "balanced tour"

How odd that the designers of Hackney Councils lethal Pembury Junction design, who talk about the "problems" of cycle tracks in council consultation drop ins, would invite the one resident out of 260k who shares their views and amplifies them as much as possible.

Currently tucking into pepper and beer flavoured cheese that I bought directly from the cheese farm who produced it in Texel in the Netherlands back in June. I then brought it back to l London on my bicycle via several other provinces. Makes it tastes nicer I think 😀
