Never seen congestion in a bike lane; it's purely a car/inefficiency thing.

Another central London street transformed with a filter and added gardens, preventing rat-running, noise, and danger. Chef’s kiss, London. Thank you, Camden Council, don't stop.

More good news today, if you can believe it!
The picture in the thumbnail below is one of the multi-million £ public realm improvements which Lutfur Rahman wanted to rip out to turn this street back into a traffic sewer.
Utterly unhinged stuff, much schadenfraude at his ignominious defeat today 🥳

A cold, wet morning commute in London highlights the tipping point for more separated cycle infrastructure. Theobald's Road and Clerkenwell Road have long been in desperate need of a dedicated cycle lane. A dozen cyclists = more space for drivers.

Hackney Council's traffic calming on Downham Rd when you water down your design to appease drivers is working well 🤦

When you get rid of cars, the noise, the danger and pollution they bring, then add gardens, seating, cycle lanes and public space, no one ever wants it to return to its previous incarnation. Keep going London. Bayley St, Bloomsbury

The best kind of induced demand.
Still waiting for drivers to cotton on that more cycle lanes lead to more cyclists, which means fewer cars for them to deal with.

If you choose to drive your space-inefficient private vehicle into an already crowded city with a road system designed before the advent of cars, when excellent public transport is available, you forfeit your right to complain about gridlock, traffic, and congestion.

In the 2 months since the counter was reset, nearly 650,000 cycling journeys along here, averaging about 9,700 trips a day.
Cycling has increased by 12% since last year, 1,500,000 daily journeys, a 43% rise from 2019.
Those who complain about congestion are the ones driving

8am, 1 degree C, one of London's finest LTNs and people still cycle. Provide people with safe routes, and they will cycle throughout the year. Shout out to the cyclists in shorts

Something has to give if successive governments have not increased fuel duty since 2011, continually subsidise driving, and you need to fill a financial black hole. Pay-per-mile is the answer
Will pay-per-mile raise Reeves money or drive people away from electric vehicles?
Need for new road taxes is clear – but there are concerns that pricing plan could stall transition away from petrol

Nearly 600,000 cycle journeys in less than 2 months since the counter was reset, averaging about 9,700 trips per day. This number surpasses all motor traffic. This week has seen freezing temperatures, but that hasn't deterred cyclists. They are a hardy bunch @cs3cs6count.bsky.social

Since the counter was fixed, well over half a million cycle journeys have been made in less than two months. At peak times, records show that rush hour traffic consists of 250 motor vehicles ph in the am & 350 in the pm, considerably less than the number of bikes. Time for another cycle lane

Just an average day in Soho, Berwick St, among its famous food stalls. Remember, the residents and the Soho Society prefer traffic and cars over pedestrianisation and al fresco dining @mayoroflondon.bsky.social

Before smartphones, many Londoners would have an A-Z handy to navigate London, first published in 1936. It's good to see Central London, A to Z style, on the panniers of a London Ambulance E-Bike. The bicycle is still the quickest way to get to someone in Central London after all these years

I've waited a lifetime for a safe, separated cycle lane on Theobalds Road to protect me from impatient drivers. Cyclists outnumber motorised vehicles on this stretch of road, so it's only fair that the balance shifts toward more efficient modes of transport. Well done, Camden Council

8 a.m. this morning on a very chilly but beautiful day, a month since the counter was fixed, 339,000+ journeys by bicycle in one month. Imagine if they were car journeys; cycle lanes benefit everyone. @cs3cs6count.bsky.social

Happy new LTN week to those who celebrate.
In a borough with the lowest car ownership per household in London (26%), drivers are still frothing at the consequences of their own actions: driving. It's no longer just about you.

Regardless of whether the average speed in central London is between 8.7 mph and 7.1 mph, there will still be someone who complains about the new markings at St John Street, Smithfield, part of the transformation to make it more pedestrian and cycle-friendly

At 9am this week, another 80,000+ bike journeys along the Embankment. To put this in perspective, there are more bike journeys per hour in this 1 lane than there are in the 4 motor vehicle lanes on the same route. If you want to get cities moving, build more cycle lanes @cs3cs6count.bsky.social
