When you provide the infrastructure that gives people safe, efficient options outside of the car, people will use it.

Sensible and practical Hammersmith and Fulham Cabinet decision. 🌱 Hammersmith Bridge is still safe for people walking and cycling across the river while the cost of enabling people to drive across again has been escalating.

Wonderful to pop along to see these amazing women recognised for their work empowering other women to cycle. From Cycle Sisters' Samra Said, to the amazing Emily Chappell, to campaigner Jean Dollimore, these names on Santander Cycles are a recognition of people transforming lives through cycling 💪

Many children tell us they want to walk or cycle to school but they are currently deprived of that choice because they don’t feel safe. This week in Westminster, I led a debate on how we can make our streets safer and give children the freedom to travel actively to school.

We learned from meeting stroke survivors after their 12-week rehab programme. Cycling, two-wheeler or with adapted cycles can be really beneficial. Here’s our volunteer Kevin coaching a survivor. Looking forward to offering a taster session soon, maybe a scheme. #nhs #harrow @lwhcharity.bsky.social

Thanks so much to Liz Sheridan, here with volunteer Darren, donating to us the trike which was used by her mother till the age of 99! Who says older people can't cycle? This will be much-appreciated by people using our #wheelsforall service. #inclusion #disability #beyondthebicycle #olderpeoplerock

Thanks @cyclinguk.bsky.social for bringing women’s needs to the fore. If women cycle, everyone cycles. It’s not just traffic engineers who are mostly male - elected council portfolio holders who manage roads, likewise.

Such a great scheme. One of the key barriers to using adapted cycles is cost. Hope people in #Harrow will be able to take it up too. @communityconnex.bsky.social

Busy main roads don’t have to be barriers. In the Netherlands, safe cycling infrastructure lets people of all ages easily and safely navigate through a motorway junction. It’s possible, if we choose to make it so.
