No Lycra Cycling

Just another Sunday. Happy families out and about enjoying a lovely segregated cycle lane in #Chiswick #NewNormal #familyfun

@LondonW12 @willnorman Looks like another collision on Holland Park Roundabout today. When will this dangerous roundabout be fixed with safe cycle lanes?

Just been through Shepherds Bush and it looks like there has been a serious incident and possible fatality on Holland Park Roundabout. It’s time for politicians @LBHF to stop paying attention to the NIMBY boomers in local Resident Associations and get on with making roads safe

Hammersmith Bridge is open today with new cycling and walking lanes!

At last — Hammersmith Bridge is open!!! Thank-you @LBHF for understanding the 2025 reality... this bridge will never take motor vehicles again. If it does, it will fall into the river.

@PauloCampbell @actonwards @JoannaBiddolph @CameraTraffic @LouHaigh Cllr @JoannaBiddolph, could you repost something with at least a mention of #JackRyan, who died? He has relatives and friends who will be lost without him. This is about preventing similar tragedies, not an attempt to destroy livelihoods. @willnorman @MayorofLondon

Just to be clear your driving habit is heavily subsidised. This is especially true for the 46% of London households and the 22% of UK households who don’t own a car In summary for every mile a motorist drives, taxpayers subsidise 21p outside London, up to £1 inside.

Some say as winter approaches, people put their bikes away and stop cycling. But on this gorgeous October day, it seems like everyone’s still rolling! 😉🚴‍♂️

Great to see scenes like this on #Cycleway9 which would never have happened before the lane was built. @katherinedunne @Shansview @willnorman

The media is getting its knickers in a twist over modified e-bikes & illegal mopeds, but mostly ignoring this very real danger. theguardian.com/world/2024/oct…

1/ We've obtained 2024 data from @TfL @VivacityLabs traffic survey cameras on Chiswick High Rd and compared with 2023. Spoiler alert! There is more good news about numbers of people cycling. @KatherineDunne @Shansview @WillNorman

Q: Why should we pay to park outside our own homes? A: Because you don't own the road, and all land has a value. Hat Tip: @gazza_d bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Shouldn't the so-called “Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea” be renamed Grenfell Council? Then every letterhead, every email, every plaque on every building would remind @RBKC of what happened on their watch.

Seriously ⁉️Just when you think you’ve seen it all. Takes a certain kind of special to obstruct the pavement by a signalised crossing to charge your vehicle. Spot the cable plugged in that snakes back to under the door of the property. Entitled, arrogant behaviour. #TakingTheDis

I thought it was interesting how one of @lawriedriver's comments on BBC Breakfast yesterday was about "cyclists in the middle of the lane holding up traffic", or words to that effect. That perception is very wrong, riding in the middle of the lane is what cyclists, including children at school, are trained to do by default.

This motorist never even saw the person thanks to driving a vehicle with such little visibility. Vehicles like this should be illegal to use in public spaces.

It looks like there's a demand for a bench in Chiswick's Old Market Place, even on a rainy day. If you want seating & greenery, you can support it by filling in this short questionnaire. talk.hounslow.gov.uk/redesigning-gi…

A pleasure to have @RuthCadbury MP join us yesterday to celebrate the latest section of Cycleway 9 from Watermans Park to Brentford town centre As the new chair of @TransportCttee, Ruth shares @LBofHounslow’s ambitions for safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable transport
