CyclingMikey the Unspeakable

Millions of Londoners and tourists who visit Oxford St disagree. Times have changed; urban planning solely for the benefit of motor vehicles is a thing of the past.

I bet drivers are going to scream about loss of a few parking spaces.

@UB1UB2 Oh, NOW you DO want me catching phone drivers? I want you to stop speeding (that’s a general you to drivers who speed) and to get off your phone.

Transport for London has just announced a trial for advanced, high-tech “stealth” speed cameras across the capital, and several West London boroughs are officially on the list. Unlike the old yellow boxes, these new cameras do NOT flash and do not require white lines painted on the road. Using advanced 4D imaging radar, a single camera can monitor speed, distance, elevation, and direction across five lanes of bi-directional traffic all at once. The trial is specifically targeting 20mph and 30mph zones across nine London boroughs: 📍 Ealing 📍 Brent 📍 Hammersmith & Fulham 📍 Haringey 📍 Tower Hamlets 📍 Havering 📍 Croydon 📍 Hackney 📍 Sutton TfL states this upgrade is “vital” for consistent enforcement and reducing road casualties. However, the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) pointed out that since average speeds in London are already below 20mph, the focus should instead be on catching drivers illegally using their mobile phones at the wheel #UB1UB2 #London #Ealing

Drivers are making a war on the general population. It’s drivers who kill 1,800 people and severely injure and maim 27,000 more every year. This is not a war on drivers. Speed cameras don’t kill drivers and are easily avoided by driving a little slower.

And before everyone starts freaking out—remember, this is about the end of CRIMINAL tix against cyclists. Cops can still—and will still—write traffic tix to bike riders. A red light ticket will cost bike riders the same $190 as a car driver, despite the big difference in threat.

You are five times more likely to survive being hit by a driver doing 20mph vs a driver doing 30mph. Great to see Enfield rolling out new life saving 20mph zones. Slow down. Slower speeds save lives. #VisionZeroLDN. 👏👏@EnfieldCouncil @JourneysPlaces

@langoo @TheRoadPadrone I think you missed the sarcasm.

@TheRoadPadrone @MikeyCycling That's a soft segregated lane, couple of plastic poles,a bit of paint and a few deviders, I think your figure my have been pulled out your ass. (excuse the the description, but it seems most apt.) where I am these are cheep "place holders" or tests that are later improved/removed

£6m for this cycle lane, and they use the road

LOL FAFO.

Tories -tough on crime. Unless the perpetrator is a driver. @JoannaBiddolph

When we say “war on cars”, it’s really important to look at who is doing the killing and who is doing the dying. US drivers kill ~40,000 people and injure another ~3.5 million. Often permanently: themselves, friends and innocent bystanders. The war, if it exists, is on people.

Lowering the speed limit to 15 miles per hour around schools isn't a "war on cars" or a war on the middle class as some politicians and @nypost say. It's common sense safety for New Yorkers. @GershKuntzman explains:

Only people with the most severe and advanced cases of Cycling Derangement Syndrome could doubt evidence that cycling is healthier than driving.

Don’t buy a cow, or a car, and expect your city to give you someplace to park it. #UrbanTruth Via the Urban Truth Collective. urbantruthcollective.com

@inertiathc @tobytarrant You look like a horrible fash to me. Go away.

@tobytarrant @MikeyCycling I don’t make any money for telling the truth. London is Fucked. Go to Durham. The difference is astounding.

Just walked through London for only 15 minutes and saw all this - Recently voted best city in the world for the 11th year in a row - Serious crime rates the lowest its been since 2014 Don't listen to media outlets who make money by being miserable fuckers and dividing us x

Terrible news: a 43-year-old cyclist critically injured in collision with a 366 bus last week has died of his injuries. He is the fourth person known to have died cycling in London in 2026. His death was announced @TfL board meeting at the same time as two other bus fatalities.
