London Cycles

Why did we set up #londoncycles? To celebrate and promote the thousands of cycle journeys already happening across London everyday 🚲 Cycling needs to be made safe and accessible for all Londoners, no matter their ethnicity, gender, disability, income level or age...

Good morning London 🇬🇧

London cyclists in January (and about 0 degrees celsius)

"Those low traffic neighbourhoods are all well and good in the summer, but no one will be cycling when it's 0 degrees in January" January in London 🇬🇧 -

@BBCPanorama @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer ... A Telegraph journalist is given a huge amount of air time (when the paper is known to be extremely anti-cyclist), with about 95% of the prog on problems with e-motocycles and barely anything on the benefits found by those riding road legal e-bikes.

@BBCPanorama @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Really poor quality programme, we should all expect more from the BBC. E-bikes and E-motorcycles (not limited to 15mph and/or no need to peddle + illegal) are conflated throughout, issues primarily caused by e-motorcycles are made out to impact all e-bikes....

“I would suggest it's definitely become a transport of choice for criminals,” Sgt Stuart Ford, from City of London Police, talking to BBC Panorama about e-bikes E-Bikes: The Battle for Our Streets is on @BBCOne now and on @BBCiPlayer bbc.in/4j5ZEVb

@loufioravanti It's time to go! 🦋

7.30am and we’re cooking

I’m staying in Shoreditch and the number of people using the Cycleways is extraordinary. If you build safe cycling infrastructure, cyclists will use it. Top work from @TfL. Bristol and WECA: please take note! (Let’s hope for strong support for active travel in tomorrow’s Budget.)

@cwaids52dCbp0zV @tarostokyo こんにちは！ロンドンには自転車の免許制度がなく、土地面積も非常に限られています（私たちも小さな島です！）

@tarostokyo その為には自転車利用者の意識改革が必要です。 自転車の免許制度の実現。 更には駐輪場の整備、駐車場の整備。 路駐を無くし、全ての車道、歩道の安全の確保をする事です。 土地の狭い日本、特に東京で全ての共存は、徹底した意識改革、モラルの向上無くして実現不可能。 かなりハードルが高いです

自転車と車と歩行者が共存する街。 物理的な環境が違う東京ですべて同じことが出来るとは思わないが、世界はこの方向に進んでいるし、目指すイメージを持って現実的な方法を模索していくことが大切かと考えます。 今日も良い一日を！

Good morning London 🍂

@BBCLondonNews *closed to motor vehicles Open to bicycles, scooters, pedestrians etc. 😊

About 200 streets across the capital will be closed this weekend to mark World Car Free Day. bbc.in/47CTxCK

@adechapmanlaw @sainsburys What on earth?!?

Hey @sainsburys what kind of hell is this? Difficult to move the bike into, impossible to secure the bike to it safely. The only good thing is the shelter. Please replace with Sheffield stands as soon as possible.

@London_Cycling @TfL Bays can work, but only if they're frequent enough. It shouldn't be harder to get to a lime bike parking spot than it is to get to a car parking space.

@London_Cycling Lime is huge because @TfL has completely failed to expand its bike hire schemes across the city. They're so popular because they fill a huge transport need, especially in parts of the city where tube or train stops are far apart.

Dockless cycle hire is opening up cycling to more & more diverse Londoners. Councils that have done nothing on active travel for years shouldn't 'ban' bikes, but work with operators who offer funding for appropriately-placed parking. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

@tigerbay43 @London_Cycling We will ☺️ x.com/London_Cycles/…

Happy Friday!

Good Morning London 👋

Strong back to school vibes on today’s commute and my favourite type of queue.

@London_Cycles I had such a lovely time posing as a local bike commuter when in town earlier this month. I always wanted to be in bumper to bumper bike traffic, it's awesome actually.
