Protected cycle lanes =/= Painted lines
Physical separation between cyclists, pedestrians and motorists key to safer streets, research shows
The study also found that bad behaviour is the biggest contributing factor towards streets hostile to walking and wheeling

Croydon is fortunate to have 20mph zones on most of its minor roads.
But they're missing from our high streets, and the busiest roads in built-up parts of the borough.
We'd like to see a commitment to extending 20mph borough wide in 2026 manifestos - exceptions only where footfall is negligible.

The evidence is clear - 20mph zones save lives.
In London, they’ve cut deaths and serious injuries by 34% and child fatalities by 75%.
That's why we need to see more 20mph areas.

Our Social Rides run every Sunday, and we'll keep going all through the winter (wellness and weather permitting).
This weekend we'll visit the Dinosaurs in Crystal Palace, head over the brow of the hill down to Dulwich, and back home on the Waterlink Way.
Easy pace - all abilities - wrap up warm!

Our Social Rides often use the Colliers Wood to Merton route - it's a good example of how to do a low-intervention, low-traffic route in outer London.
Would be fairly straightforward to build similar routes here, if there were any political support.
