'Plant flowers🪻. Put in tables🪑. Redirect cars🚗. Kids come out of school and parents are on benches talking. They can joke and play. We’re not closing streets to cars as much as opening them to people.'

Cycling continues to increase in London and the people using bikes are getting more diverse, better representing capital's communities.
We're working with community groups to enable more people to cycle - like @CycleSistersUK who made these great guides.

Delighted to be awarded @Motability funding for my 3-year project 'Monitoring access control removal on traffic-free routes'.
Using Vivacity sensors, interviews & surveys, we'll monitor the impacts of barrier removal on intended & antisocial use.

The Highway Code update clarified the rule about cycling side-by-side: "You can ride two abreast and it can be safer to do so." 🚴♀️🚴♂️ This can deter dangerous overtaking. ↔️ Keep up to date at: cyclinguk.org/highwaycode 📸: @davewalker

Data from Sudbury Primary School shows a surge in active travel since the installation of school streets.
In 2017, 60% of students used active means such as walking, cycling, or public transport to get to school.
In 2023, that has gone up to 89%.
