@prj45 Your graph is a bit misleading Paul. The annual mean concentrations do not tell the full story. No2 rose to unprecedented levels during the LTN period. The removal of the LTN saw a drop to 1st lockdown levels until the Deans/Montague LTN was installed.

@like2bike_uk @ShimanoSteve You will have to be more precise. There seem to be only walking and cycling statistics combined in the links you sent and I would be surprised if nobody walked or cycled 5 times a week in Bromley.

@mitchNcatch @VincentStops @willnorman That is injury risk not actual numbers of casualties. I think Vincent's point is that despite injury risk going down, the number of actual pedal cycle casualties is increasing.

@simonjcalvert @VincentStops @willnorman The PowerBI link that Vincent is using for his data shows a downward from 2021 to 2025, and a downward trend since 2010 as far as risk goes when you look at all casualty severities.

Can you think why @willnorman uses 2010 to 2014 as a baseline to promote the notion that cycling is getting safer! Both absolute numbers and risk per journey is increasing since he was appointed. Or in his language serious cycling injuries are ‘soaring’!

@LBofBromley Also interesting that Bromley, a Borough with no LTNs has a downward casualty trend since 2017 vs say LTN obsessed Hackney which is increasing.

The number of people killed or seriously injured on Bromley’s roads reduced by 51% between 2005-9 and 2020-24, the largest reduction of any London borough bromley.gov.uk/news/article/9…

@simonjcalvert @VincentStops @willnorman I do acknowledge that serious injuries has been on an increase, and that needs to be addressed, but as I said before, the trend for that appears to start increasing with the rise of cycle hire popularity.

@mitchNcatch @VincentStops @willnorman TfL’s data does not suggest that total injuries are declining, in fact it suggests that cycle injuries are the only ones on the increase in London. Just asking where you are getting your information from that suggests that total injuries are declining?

@simonjcalvert @VincentStops @willnorman The total injuries have been on a steady decline suggesting improvements are working. The spike in series injuries is likely a result of Lime becoming popular and having a lot more inexperienced riders on the road incentives to get to their destinations faster due to costs.

@VincentStops @mitchNcatch @willnorman I was asking Mitch where the data was that suggested that the rate of increases has outpaced total KSIs. As far as I am aware, no data has been specifically collated for annual average cycle mileage in Greater London (at least from DfT). Perhaps he has some data he could share?

@VincentStops @willnorman You are grasping at straws. Absolute numbers increase as the number of miles travelled has increased. The rate of increases has outpaced your total KSIs. When looking at risk, all injuries have continually declined and fatal is near the all time low and on a downward trend.

@martynschmoll @ediz1975 Ediz is clearly still living rent free in your head Martin. Perhaps you should look inwards before talking about mental health issues. Let’s face it, you viewed a picture of a pisshead urinating on a train seat and made it about ‘cars’. You should consider psychiatric help…..

@cammbfc Not disputing that's how they start but certainly against Newcastle they swapped sides and Dango was very effective on the left and Keano was able to play on his natural side. Thought it worked really well.

@simonjcalvert Well considering dango played off the right and Keano off the left I doubt dango will be lw

@Jonathan77777 I think a fair few of us (realists?) were thinking the bubble might burst at the beginning his season, especially with the run of away results at the beginning of the season, loss of key players & Thomas etc but here we are, enjoying a great season! Happy days & #trusttheprocess

7 yrs ago Thomas Frank had been in charge at Brentford for 5 mths & I took my first look at the new stadium Never imagined that we'd now be 7th in the Premier League (with best form in the last 10 games), reached the qtr finals of the League Cup & still in round 5 of the FA Cup

@CTJ__14 @brentford_daily That is pretty much the view I had from my seat in the North stand. Will never forget it! Pontus for me though in recent years.

Cycleway, my arse! @issaddlethereis.bsky.social
Again, the police and news reporters are calling these things, which don’t even have pedals, “e-bikes”! It’s maddening. They’re clearly motorbikes! Please get it right @metpoliceuk. They’re worlds apart from EAPCs.
