@BobFromAccounts I’m not sure if you living longer is doing anyone a favour…
🤔😂
English
Gary, we are doing you a favour:
We don't cause congestion
We don't cause pollution
We don't cause potholes
We live longer and are less of a burden on the NHS
The more cyclists, the less congestion
BTW, 87% of cyclists also regularly drive
You should be paying us

Petition: Tax cyclists for road use We want the Government to tax cyclists, a personal tax for every adult who rides a bicycle on roads. Cyclists should have registration plates displayed if they are on the roads. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7658…

FYI @willnorman A major disbenefit of LTNs is that many people have to live, work, use buses, wheel, cycle or scoot on busier roads taking traffic from LTN streets. @SocEnvJustice
Will Norman@willnorman
One of the many benefits of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods is that they make streets safer for cycling. We're working with boroughs to route bike routes through LTNs - with filters & safe crossings of main roads. Great to see the new Cycleway 37 in Hackney 🚲💚

@BobFromAccounts More nonsensical caraboutery from Bob … 🤦♂️
English
Strange how the permanently outraged who complain about Lime bikes being badly parked never utter a word about the previous 50 years of car-littered streets. It's a boomer thing, a fear of the new.

The scourge of London and I imagine all other cities… docking was the right and only solution…

@woodgnomology @BobFromAccounts You have to thank your well off peers for the cost of the legal fees.
Let’s hope the appeal will be successful, so democracy is restored.
English
@BobFromAccounts As a pro-LTN* resident of Tower Hamlets, the prospect of voting in tomorrow's local elections does not fill me with joy, given that Lutfur Rahman and his Aspire party patriarchy are guaranteed to be voted back into power. 🫤
*TH – second lowest car ownership rate in the country
English
Four years ago to this day, Lutfur Rahman was elected on a ticket to remove all of Tower Hamlets' LTNs and safer streets. Four years on, they all remain. People prefer safer streets.
English
@BobFromAccounts @justme1972xt You’re making assumptions yet again, sir.
English
@justme1972xt the 'democratic desire' of drivers in a borough with the lowest car ownership in London.
English
@BobFromAccounts Here in Hackney we have too many cars and delivery vans on some of our highly residential roads, only as a result of counterproductive road restrictions like LTNs.
Conveniently , some people who benefit from these measures, like Bob, ignore this fact.
English
And watch this space to see congestion return with a vengeance
Thing that cause congestion
It's not road restrictions or road capacity or lack of parking
It's not cycle lanes or bicycles.
It's this: too many cars and encouraging more cars
Jason Perry - Mayor of Croydon@JasonForCroydon
You told me the wands were causing congestion, holding up emergency vehicles and hurting local trade. So I removed them from Brighton Road. Then London Road. And we’re taking them out in the town centre. Croydon’s roads should work. Lend your vote to Jason Perry and your local Conservative candidates on 7th May.
English
@BobFromAccounts Reminiscent of the LTN ‘boundary’ roads in Hackney whose residents you think don’t matter.

Esto es libertad y progreso. Ir en bici es de hippies colgaos.

@TransportNeil @TogetherHackney @SocEnvJustice Further, was the number of through roads the optimum number prior to the LTNs of 2020, or prior to the 1990s LTNs, or the 1970s LTNs? If more through roads solve congestion, do you support building more through roads? Perhaps a return of the London Ringways proposals is in order?
English
With less than a week to go to the local elections a reminder of what LTNs can do to traffic on the nearby roads.
English
@TogetherHackney @BobFromAccounts @SocEnvJustice So that's not an answer to my point in this thread, is it? It's a completely separate issue. So if you can answer my point I'll be happy to continue.
If you want me to respond to yours I'll do so in a thread about how people like you want to blame cyclists for pollution.
English
99% of pedestrian collision deaths in Britain involve a motorised vehicle. You rarely go to jail, and most likely you will be back driving in a year. Sensationalist bollocks

Cyclists who kill pedestrians face life imprisonment under new laws. gbnews.com/news/cyclists-…
English
@DavidHu05137188 @BobFromAccounts You’ve done that yourself already.
I’m going to leave there, before you start loosing your temper again.
English
@TransportNeil @SocEnvJustice What do you think, Neil?
English
@TransportNeil @SocEnvJustice Sorry for butting in, but I’d say the ‘status quo’ was definitely better than the situation since the wave of LTNs implemented during and after Covid.
Remember, virtually all streets in inner London are residential roads.
Including the ones where LTNs funnel all traffic to.
English
@DavidHu05137188 @BobFromAccounts You’re the one making the accusations without any evidence.
English
@TogetherHackney @BobFromAccounts No, they do demonize cyclists, blaming them for pollution and traffic, and do nothing to actually address the actual source of pollution and congestion.
Can you show me otherwise, if not I shall continue to point out their hypocrisy.
English
@BobFromAccounts You and and your ilk said LTNs would solve that issue (if indeed it is one).
Instead they have made congestion unprecedentedly bad.
English
50% of car journeys in London are under 3 km
60% are single occupancy
This is the cause of congestion
World of Statistics@stats_feed
95% of Londoners live within 400m of a bus stop
English
@DavidHu05137188 @BobFromAccounts Firstly you’re just making stuff up about a group whose ideas and opinions stroke with yours.
And then you make yourself look even more foolish by resorting to desperate and despicable insults.
English
@BobFromAccounts Their post has been totally ratio'd.
SEJ as a name is rather ironic for a group that seeks to demonize a section of society and promote another section that causes ill health and death on a serious level.
They're a bunch of hypocritical cunts.
English
@DavidHu05137188 @BobFromAccounts @SocEnvJustice Cycling organisations here in Hackney have lobbied heavily, and sadly successfully for LTNs, which are increasing motor vehicle traffic (=increased pollution) on residential roads outside the LTNs at unprecedented levels.
Unhealthy indeed.
English
@BobFromAccounts @SocEnvJustice I'm struggling to find anyone who suggests that cyclists are perfect, but it's amazing how SEJ and some of their members like to suggest that cyclists are responsible for infanticide and ill health on a catastrophic scale.
English
@SocEnvJustice I'm not suggesting that; I am suggesting that cars kill 1600 people in the UK every year.
English
@BobFromAccounts London traffic has vastly reduced but congestion is way up, that means it’s the changes made to the roads that are at fault
English
I'd say the problem here is people driving in central London, not the green paint you call a cycle lane
Westminster Matters@westminstertory
𝐋𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐫’𝐬 𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 Brook Street is a prime example of Labour’s cycle lanes imposed without common sense and without listening to local people.
