Roadside flowers for a fallen cyclist, South Norwood Hill, Croydon. Heart attack, not RTC. Same age as me, teenage kids. Life can be brutal sometimes. 💔 And the two little dudes that cycled by on their wee 16in wheels as I stopped to take the photo say: and yet.

Croydon Council says the scheme has "not been removed"? All wands went due to "road safety, maintenance, cycle lane cleansing & residents’ concerns... We are considering options [that are]... practical, deliverable and represent good value for public money.” Translation: scheme was removed... 3/4

one of the biggest errors the entire world made in the last century was handing over to cars the streets that once belonged to our children and communities it shouldn't surprise me but this is truly one of the most nihilistic and terrible takes I've ever heard ⤵️

What a shame that Croydon residents are now missing out on these benefits. Hopefully all the mayoral candidates will promise to reinstate the ones that had to be removed through total incompetence.

It won't come as a surprise to many, but good to see The Times pointing out that people actually like less traffic in local neighbourhoods. It concludes that no big change is ever introduced without some initial opposition - so leaders should stick to their guns! www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

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.

Be careful out there, people! Multiple reports of cyclists being mugged for their bikes by moped gangs. Shirley Church Road (Croydon) and College Road (Dulwich) targeted in recent days. Keep an eye out for these scumbags and report anything suspicious to the police! @insidecroydon.bsky.social

Croydon's falling far behind the pace here. 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.

New on the Bike Blog: Andrew Gilligan, who advised Boris Johnson on transport in No 10, explains why the Conservatives need to get the message that low-traffic neighbourhoods and 20mph zones are actually popular. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Labour is right about LTNs – the Tories need to learn the same lesson
For all the initial noise against low-traffic neighbourhoods, most people like them and they can benefit the public purse
