@Mick96017306 @MikeyCycling @theJeremyVine @Bikery1966 @ShitBikePhotos @cyclegaz @KatyCycles @_Dermatologist @willnorman @AndyCoxDCS @ActiveWCC @OxfordStreet Everyone pays for the roads as the cost comes out of council tax . Your argument is flawed.

@theJeremyVine @MikeyCycling @Bikery1966 @ShitBikePhotos @cyclegaz @KatyCycles @_Dermatologist @willnorman @AndyCoxDCS @ActiveWCC @OxfordStreet Truck driver pays road tax…cyclists should pay also…but they pay nothing.

After being advised that I'm “Not WEArinG ENoUGH lighTS,” I now have ELEVEN on me when I cycle in the dark. So was this truck driver trying to take me out, or what? #OxfordStreet #ThisMorning

@Mick96017306 @MikeyCycling @theJeremyVine @Bikery1966 @ShitBikePhotos @cyclegaz @KatyCycles @_Dermatologist @willnorman @AndyCoxDCS @ActiveWCC @OxfordStreet Truck driver causes wear and tyre on the roads . Cycles do not .

@james_youn39214 @activetraveleng @CMO_England No this is nothing about 15 minute cities its about our sit on our arse unhealthy life style caused by motorcentricity .

@activetraveleng @CMO_England You mean 15 minute cities? Nobody is asking for them and nobody wants them. Not if they knew what they were really about anyway.

Today's report from @CMO_England shows the importance of active travel in improving and maintaining good health in England's cities. Read the report: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6756e67b… 🏙️🚶‍♀️ 🏘️🚲

@blnnnnm @activetraveleng @CMO_England You miss out the bit about envioronment and giving roud space to the majority .

@activetraveleng @CMO_England There are plenty of other ways to be active and healthy. It doesn’t revolve around cycling. If you really promote cycling then the same health benefit can be achieved using a trainer bike indoors.

@memzbaron @activetraveleng @CMO_England We already have forced policy due to the crap lifestyles and environments imposed on us by the car industry. Focusing on active travel would undo most of the harm caused by our world of motorcenctricity .

@activetraveleng @CMO_England Forced policies are failure @activetraveleng praises forced policies against the will of people. This is dictatorship.

@visitcamberwell @activetraveleng @CMO_England It means you can cycle anywhere you want. This is a positive message it wont affect loss of local shops it would increase their trade cos you can park right outside all shops w a bike .

@activetraveleng @CMO_England "Access to supermarkets"? Does this mean supermarket "locals" which charge 20% more than their drive-in counterparts, or the drive-ins themselves? One suspects it means the free-parking drive-ins inside cities. Sadly, no mention of loss of walkable shops. theguardian.com/business/2024/…

@blnnnnm @activetraveleng @CMO_England Cycling to get places can be fitted into your daily routine . As a working mother and a mum ive never found time for gyms and trainer bikes . Plus the wind in your hair and children on yr bike are far more enjoyable than a gym bike . I also get to see what is around me.

@willnorman Agree

"Councils are separately being told [by Government] they should only introduce 20mph limits in specific areas, for example outside schools." Children should just be safe for their whole journey, not just when they actually get to school. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

@BrentCyclists Now lets see how long it will take for @Brent council to make this happen ! Stop talking please do it now . Planters and some cones is all thats needed .

Indeed, removing motor traffic usually leads to really nice interactions. Hold on to that feeling when time comes to make a decision on that particular street.

Phenomenal #CarFreeDay @Brent_Council @CamdenCouncil event yesterday -well done @josiewarshaw Growing support for the east end of #PrioryParkRoad to be become #KilburnOasis G8 to meet some brilliant local organisations Big thanks to #BrentHealthMatters for stall and testing

@dontbrexitfixit Arrest this driver and remove his licence .

Would the driver of the white MG SK74 UHL in this video, please hand themselves in to their local police station?

@CllrGwenGrahl “ Why dont Brent council provide in the road docking space ? “ how does brents climate change policy fit in with this this backward thinking decision ?? Where is the joined up thinking ?? Health , sustainable transport , road space , nhs burden, environment etc max stupidity

We receive hundreds of complaints from residents about Lime bikes unsafely docked or dumped across Brent. Private companies who make use of public infrastructure, such as Brent’s pavements and highways, should pay their share to maintain this infrastructure. Lime is no exception

We know cycling is good for those who do it. But is it also good for everyone else—even those who do not cycle? The best way to answer this question is through #Bikenomics, a now widespread term that indicates economic thinking applied to cycling. WATCH: youtu.be/d9a1UTO1Kig

@KatyCycles @BrentCyclists @peterwalker99 @SammyGecsoyler Brent need to create dedicated lime bike parking space in the road space . See how paris do it . All london boroughs shld b forced to do this . Its climate change criminal 2 remove lime bikes .

@BBCr4today It should b Brent council to organise space for Lime bikes in t road in organised mapped spaces (see Paris) Join the thinking and give TOP priority 2 accom cycling b4 cars to reduce rd congestion, improve peoples health/environment /reduce pressure on NHS/improve air quality.

In a statement Lime said: "We are proud to have worked with our partner councils over the last six years to build a safe and reliable shared e-bike service across London. Local residents in Brent and across the capital use our bikes for essential journeys every day, with 11.5 million commuting trips already taken this year. We can enforce mandatory parking rules in Brent, but first we need the Council to build a functional network of parking locations. We can provide data and funding to support this process. We want to work with them on this. Banning bikes won't help anyone."

"The nuisance they're causing... They're just being left with no care and attention." Brent council leader Muhammed Butt tells #R4Today why Lime bikes may be banned from the borough over safety concerns.

@Georgia_Gould Congratulations Georgia .

I am so grateful to the residents of Queen’s Park and Maida Vale who have put their faith in me. I will be there for every resident of this wonderful, diverse community - those who supported me & those who didn’t.    Today is the start of building a better future for our community and country.

@carlafrancome You can hang scooters on fences to save space

Hive mind 🐝 I have a question for you re a local school. It’s near 2 low traffic neighbourhoods, and the headteacher and their team are keen for some pointers. Lots of people are coming by scooter and bike! “Each of these could be one less car trip!” The headteacher … 1/3
