Sunday family spin from London Bridge to Cold Blow Lane for an awesome play street in the tunnels, now closed to traffic and a space for kids and parents. The route almost all on protected cycleways, so our 7 yr old son could ride the whole way there and back.

🚴 Don't put yourself through the painfully slow bus or the painfully overpacked train - make the most of the September sun and ride into work!

Low Traffic Neighbourhoods save lives, it’s time to stop pretending otherwise
The news that Labour have decided not to proceed with the previous Conservative Government’s “Plan For Drivers” should be welcomed, but should also hardly be a surprise.

Great to see more bike hangers finally arriving in the south of the borough.
This one on Amblecote Road (Grove Park).
Looks like Forest dockless bikes have arrived too. Hopefully the parking bays will be here in next few months.

We're spending more on subsidising the purchase of EVs than we are on active travel for the next 2-3 years.
A good connected transport network and politics that gave people real choice would be utopian.
