Today we're launching our #GreenwayFlushedAway campaign.
🚽😱 384 days since Thames Water shut Newham's ONLY safe north/south cycleway
❌🤕 4 years of danger, at least 4 injuries—and it'll get worse
🪧💩 Tell Thames: no more closures until they pay for a safe diversion!

This ride was great fun but the message is deadly serious. @london.gov.uk and @london.gov.uk, are you listening ?

Closure on #CS2 eastbound just after Aldgate East junction. Cyclists thrown into heavy traffic. Mercifully short but hey.
Picture of roadworks across a large junction, signs say "cyclists merge with live traffic" and "cycle lane closed". In our case "live traffic included a bus and multiple mopeds/motorbikes. Not fun.

London-based study finds "most near misses happen on roads without cycling infrastructure - junctions are particularly hazardous"

This is why our activists tirelessly call for safe cycle infra in every London borough 👇

Work begins on phase 6 of #RoyalDocksCorridor, a Brucie bonus that will finally connect City Hall & housing in the area to the Cycleway network, and fix the awful wait times for people crossing to the DLR. 🎉 @rokhsanafiaz.bsky.social @plaistovian.bsky.social www.newham.gov.uk/transport-st...
Map of Western Gateway and Tidal Basin Road with two-way cycle tracks on both sides as far as City Hall, carriageway reduced to 1 lane in each direction, traffic lights removed, and priority pedestrian and cycle zebra crossings to allow people to cross the street.

Great to see this fantastic junction design in more areas of London! Previously only seen in Waltham Forest, now Camden and Newham are planning them. What borough will be next? How about TfL?

Camden is consulting on their design, respond today!

We're expanding London's Network of Cycleways - making it safer for people to get around by bike.

Great to see the new bike lanes under construction along Romford Road.

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

It's a joy to see Westminster's determination to build new, safe cycleways in the West End, despite some minority opposition 🥳

C43 is a much needed route. Most residents supported it at consultation 😍
