@bad_celeb_names @MatthewMarks42 @allpartycycling @RuthMayorcas You haven't even got his twitter handle correct.

Google Maps has made an update to its cycling navigation feature. You will see route options where riders will encounter heavy traffic, as well as greater provision of cycling infrastructure. blog.google/products/maps/…

@MatthewMarks42 @allpartycycling @RuthMayorcas This might sound facetious but Waze (owned by Google) has been a major contributor to sending more cars down formerly-quiet cycle routes. Preferring main routes for cars would definitely help.

@allpartycycling @RuthMayorcas If Google wanted to undo some of the damage they had caused, they would let you plan a route and then clear the cars out of it for you.

@willnorman The lane is welcome, especially when going to Mayfair! But do you know why: 1) It isn't signposted in the park. 2) Cyclists are directed through narrow pedestrian gates rather than the very wide (and unused) road gates. Two changes would ⬆️⬆️⬆️usage.

The Park Lane bike lane was looking busy today - with more cyclists using this route it’s also taking pressure of the bike lane in the park itself making it nicer for people walking.

Our first #LowTrafficNeighbourhood consultations have opened! If you live, work or travel in #Railton or #Oval to #Stockwell LTNs, we want your views to help shape streets that work for everyone Oval to Stockwell: orlo.uk/JGRCF Railton: orlo.uk/7AVeU

@OctaviaLewisham routeplanroll.com/geographic-map works really well and you can get it on your phone

Friends who #cycle what is best app for navigating segregated routes in central London? Going in on Q1 (now cs?) but what to stay on segregated routes as much as poss with my 12 yo. Is there an app??

@KatyCycles @citycyclists @wandscycling I think this is a temporary layout while building works at happening on the Oval Village site. This cycle lane used to be North Bound only.

@theroyalparks @London_Cycling @MPSRoyal_Parks @MetCC Sadly didn't have my camera on this morning. Commuter traffic through the park seemed to start at about 6:15 today :-(

@revis @London_Cycling @MPSRoyal_Parks Sorry to hear - can you give any more information? Location, registration? @MetCC Worth noting that the gates are opened by a team working round them to make sure all are open by 7am so some will be open before this time.

My morning in @theroyalparks was interrupted by a dangerous high speed close pass, made by a gesticulating baboon driving his car in Richmond Park at 6:24am, 36 minutes before the park is even supposed to be open to cars. @London_Cycling @MPSRoyal_Parks

For context... 🚫 81% of drivers exceed the speed limit in 20mph zones. 🚫 53% exceed the speed limit in 30mph zones. 🚫 In 2019, 570 pedestrians & cyclists were killed by motor vehicles. I'm not sure 'protect yourself because our society won't' is the right message here.

@willnorman Lovely to see more bike lanes 👍 However I would suggest test riding it. The surfacing could do with more attention from the contractor because it is unplesantly bumpy, especially going North past the stadium.

There’s no silver bullet to tackling the climate crisis, but building bike lanes is a major part of the puzzle. (1/3)

@IrfanMohammed_ @FloEshalomi @lambeth_council @Jess_Leigh @clairekholland @JackNTIA @LambethLabour @ferndalelabour @VauxhallLabour @ManleyNanda @EdDavie @MariannaMasters Hope you have also had feedback from the people using #FerndaleLTN to cycle between Oval/Brixton/Herne Hill - it is a key link in the safe(r) cycle network. Too many car drivers make the direct route on the A23 unusable with children so this LTN is a literal life saver.

@joncstone @citycyclists North side of the Oval is the worst bit despite being a quietway Can also go Fentiman Rd, ped xing, Handforth Rd, ped xing, Cranmer Rd, Foxley Rd, Bolton Crescent, Kennington Park This route used to be unsafe but the Oval LTN has really reduced through traffic on Handforth Rd

@revis @citycyclists this makes a lot of sense, not that much of a detour if you’re coming from Stockwell either

NEW: The best way to cycle to Streatham Hill from Loughborough Junction. You can do this all on low-traffic streets and it takes about 15 minutes youtube.com/watch?v=iPxl2q…

@joncstone @citycyclists I go through the Oval LTN, around the north side of the Oval, Bowling Green St, Magee St, Kenning Park Road (segregated), use the crossing into Kennington Park, then down to Bethwin Road for Burgess Park.

@citycyclists contraflow cycle lanes so you have to remember which way around to do it and its not quite symetrical. this is just a rough sketch and could be improved on but what do you reckon? komoot.com/tour/330368404…

@MicheleRagusa6 @Chris_Boardman There are lots of council estates in this LTN including at least one on this road. And many of those pretty buildings have been split up into 3 or 4 flats.

@Chris_Boardman Just look at those lovely houses - wish I could afford to live there in that LTN. But hey I’m sure the lungs of the rich are more of worthy of protection than those of the poor people who live on the boundaries of LTNs picking up the displaced traffic. #socialinjusticeofltns

I struggle to come to terms with the fact we have to fight for this, even when the majority want it.

@MatthewPWoods @psimonk routeplanroll.com is still my favourite. Having cycle routes show up directly in the Google Maps app on your phone is invaluable.

Good case studies of missing links for cycling that could be easily fixed...
