Dockless ebikes dumped in foot tunnels under Thames. Our Head of Campaigns @psimonk.bsky.social speaking to @itvnews.bsky.social: www.itv.com/watch/news/e... says the issue isn't just the broken-down lifts or GPS signal in a tunnel, it's also the lack of nearby good river crossings for cycling.

There's been extensive research on floating bus stops, where cycle tracks pass bus stops on a main road. They need to be designed well - but the claims they're dangerous just don't match the evidence. Without them, cycling won't be inclusive & safe for everyone. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

Dockless bikes have expanded diversity & popularity of cycling in London. Yes, there are issues with parking, rollout of bays. But London's councils using contracts as revenue streams to create a patchwork of checkpoints & no-go zones threatens uptake. Bad move. www.standard.co.uk/news/transpo...
