#Transport for #London (#TfL) has announced a new free Cycle Shuttle service through the #Silvertown Tunnel, starting on 7 April 2025. Running every 12 minutes from 06:30 to 21:30, the zero-emission shuttle will connect Silvertown and North Greenwich. It will carry a variety of #cycles, including standard, #tricycles, and cargo #bikes, with two stops: Seagull Lane and Millennium Way. The service will not be available to pedestrians. #Buses will have dedicated cycle bays and step-free access, and will allow e-bikes and hire bikes. This initiative aims to improve cross-river connectivity and promote active travel. The service will be free for at least one year. The Silvertown Tunnel also introduces a user charge for vehicles, with concessions for residents and discounts for low-income households.

#Gravel riding is a popular and still-growing category of #cycling. And while #gravelbikes are common and widely available, equipment trends at the top of the sport are causing an upheaval in #gravel equipment”
“The latest trend dominating the competitive edge of #gravel racing is using #mountainbike tires”
“But there is a problem: Most popular #gravel race #bikes are not designed for the #mountainbike tires” 🤷‍♂️ bicycling.com/bikes-gear/a6416

Bicycling · Thinking of Buying a Gravel Bike? Here’s Why You Should Probably Wait.By Matt Phillips

Woh! 😲 The #weather this morning is looooovely! 😊🙏So very cool. Like somebody turned on the air-conditioning for my side of the city. 😄!! Must be 20~22°C, I dunno. Felt really nice. ⛅🇵🇭

I enjoyed it very much! 🚴‍♀️ Funny thing is, I was supposed to go to a far away mall 🚌 near #ManilaBay for an event, but decided to join a group ride coz it's rare for them to plan* a ride in my city and they're going to a museum and my fave ecopark. 🤩 #cycling #bikes

But I got the day wrong.
The ride's tomorrow! 😅

@EUCommission what about LESS cars and LESS planes overall ?
Zero-emission tech is already there and it's called #trains and #bikes.

You better support bike and train infrastructures instead of focusing on car and airplane decarbonation.

When about everything was difficult.
Few days of fun or agony.

"Mar 8, 2025
Last month, something very unique happened in the history of cycling in Montreal. Bike lanes that typically see enormous streams of cyclists in the summer (and pretty decent numbers in the winter) recorded days with 0 cyclists for the first time ever. How in the world does that happen?"
