It was good to see this article about Westminster by @carlafrancome.bsky.social drop through our letterbox this week. We’ve worked hard over the last four years, and are looking forward to the future. We are a broad church politically and will be building relationships with all Councillors 🚲🚲

Is a cycle campaigning meeting even a campaigning meeting without cake, and a fold-up Brompton in the corner? Discuss. Keep it up guys 👏🏻👏🏻

We had all the ingredients for a good campaigning meeting this month in Westminster – bikes, tea, passion for change, and cake – two types of cake 🍰 We met at Triangle Studios on Church Street, near to the iconic bike shop Westminster Wheels, and had some interesting people around the table. 1/7

It’s going to be a crucial next few months in Westminster, and @westminster-lcc.bsky.social have already met up to discuss their strategy. They’ll be liasing with Councillors and new cabinet members and working out the lay of the land with schemes. Good luck guys we’re right behind you! 🍀🍀🚲🚲🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️

We had our monthly meeting of the Westminster Cycling Campaign on Monday night, just four days after the elections. There was a lot to discuss, as you might imagine. The Conservatives have reclaimed control of Westminster council, securing 32 seats to Labour’s 22. And .. 1/9

Interesting to see this leaflet from the Bayswater Conservatives today. Blink and you could miss an important point. They say they will: “Oppose Labour’s Disruptive Bayswater Road cycle lane changes” and “fix our broken roads instead”. This is disappointing to read - 1/4

As we head full pelt into election season, it’s pretty😯🤪🤯to think how far things have come in @citywestminster.bsky.social . For decades, this borough was the "missing link" in London’s cycle network. In 2026, it is starting to become the heart of it. Here’s why the shift here matters👇

Here at WCC we’re interested in road safety for ALL, so we were intrigued when a new (and bizarrely contentious) kind of crossing started popping up in our borough: the ‘Side Zebra’! There’s only 11 in London and they’re all in Westminster. So what are they and do they work?

What do these famous faces all have in common (apart from a bicycle and no helmet)??!! They are all Westminster residents (including one former one - RIP Vivienne Westwood)! Which leads us to ask: Who do YOU know who lives in our historic borough? Why do we ask? TWO reasons…
Famous faces cycling (Madonna, Dua Lipa, King Charles, Vivienne Westwood)
