17 years ago today at this bus stop in Mortlake I was crushed under a bus while driver had road rage. But much worse than that my mother Elizabeth died and my precious daughter lost her leg. But the Ministry of justice still don’t treat road crime as real crime, which must change

A Brief History of Oxford Traffic Has Never Been This Bad (over 250 years) 🧵 (inspired by @paulisci)
Lorry driver foolishly blocking entry to segregated cycleway on Waterloo Bridge kept me in shared carriageway across the river. London cabbie behind me bristled with horn-blasting rage. Does @TheLTDA expect us to levitate over obstacles now? 🤣

BONJOUR! 🇫🇷 My name’s Carla Francome and I want freedom to ride. I want freedom to ride safely for me, my friends and my family. And I want freedom to ride for YOU. Tens of thousands of women and their allies are heading to central London to 🚲 for freedom. More later!

🥳We're planning a new cycle track from Shepherd’s Bush Green around Holland Park Roundabout to Holland Park Avenue.🥳 It includes new bus lane, crossings & SuDS & will join up with the planned cycleway on Wood Lane. Have your say: haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/hollandparkrou…
It was a BIG night tonight, the launch of London Cycling’s report, “What stops women cycling?” 1000 women were surveyed about the abuse they face on bikes in the capital, and the results are astounding. 9 out of 10 women have faced aggression or abuse on the road. 🧵 1/14
National policy should not be set by listening to crack-pot conspiracy theories instead of actual evidence. Data repeatedly shows well-planned LTNs work & 20mph saves lives. DFT dropping active travel "quietly" with no public announcements is wrong. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/j…
All I want for Christmas is no-one killed or injured on the roads. A3 Kennington Park Road (Oval Tube in the background) just now. Major police presence.
"I felt free" - congrats to Southwark’s Deputy Mayor @Naima_Ali01 riding a bike for the first time! Over 40% of suitable areas in @lb_southwark are now Low Traffic Neighbourhoods plus the new C4 cycle lane, so lots of safe places to explore 🙌 londonnewsonline.co.uk/i-felt-free-so…

@Judge832 @UseTheCycleLane I believe it's being used as a verb in this instance, not as a noun.

@drewsnx @KiltedYorkie If they didn't close the road, then they wouldn't have to use the pavement.
@MikeyCycling So just to understand, filming in public which is legal may be ruled illegal because you were using it for that thing the police tell people to… and provide a portal to encourage and allow it… How is this ever going to be deemed illegal?
LTNs halve the number of road injuries. It’s not the duty of people living on residential roads that were not designed for through-traffic to place their family in danger so rich people can take a short cut to the dog groomer in their car. Own your lifestyle choices.

@rdpeat @CycleSad @bikelaneuprise @TheWarOnCars @UseTheCycleLane @ConnectingLeeds Perhaps I did. Perhaps I didn’t. Perhaps you’re distracting from the original issue - a car being reversed blindly down a cycle lane.
@ScottSm00 @TheLeedsCyclist @CycleSad @bikelaneuprise @TheWarOnCars @UseTheCycleLane @ConnectingLeeds There are no car lanes. If you mean roads well they are for every one like horses, tractors, mobility scooters, cyclists etc.
The months-long crisis in supply of ADHD medication is something I've raised repeatedly with the Department for Health to no avail, so at #PMQs today I took it to the Prime Minister directly. @ADHDUKcharity called their response so far "pathetic" and they're absolutely right.
Labour MP Charlotte Nichols asks PM if he agrees that the government response to a lack of access to ADHD drugs has been “pathetic” PM says health secretary is in touch with relevant drug bodies #PMQs bbc.in/3HjjCua
1919 - Great grandfather aged 8 allowed to walk 6 miles to go fishing. 1950 - Grandfather aged 8 allowed to walk 1 mile to the woods. 1979 - Mother aged 8 allowed to walk 1/2 mile to the pool. 2000s - Son allowed to walk 275m to the end of the street. Cars destroy freedom.
