“#cyclists exhibit a greater commitment to the common good compared to their motorist counterparts”
"significant implications for urban #policy and #planning. #Cycling is not merely an environmentally friendly alternative to driving; it is a force that promotes social cohesion and a commitment to the well-being of the #community”
"investing in #cycling #infrastructure is not just about reducing air and noise pollution but also about creating a better society”

The biggest story on the BBC News website is that #cyclists who kill could face a life sentence: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn0w8g

Ok, fine, but from the same website: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lond

"The Old Bailey heard Michael Mason was knocked off his bike ...on Regent Street in February 2014.

Mr Mason, 70, never regained consciousness and died days later.

The case was brought by the Cyclists' Defence Fund after the police decided not to pass the file to the Crown Prosecution Service."

Performative bull.

“As part of a series of amendments tabled on Thursday to the Crime and Policing Bill … #cyclists who kill pedestrians by riding dangerously could be sentenced to life in prison, while #cyclists who cause serious injury by dangerous #cycling could face a maximum five-year term in jail”
… #cyclists convicted of causing death or serious injury by ‘careless or inconsiderate #cycling’ could also face up to five and two years in prison” road.cc/content/news/cyclists-

I am quite content for the law to be updated, although manslaugtet or even murder charges can be brought surely. However this is a distraction pandering to the car mad.

theguardian.com/news/2025/apr/

Cyclists involvement - close to zero. Car involvement in reckless inhuries or deaths inn the year ending June 2024:
24% were #pedestrians
5% were #cyclists

Yet drivers get away with suspended sentences or points for killing.

Bicycling Monterey 💚🌎🌍🌏

Over 70K people attended the 4-day Celebration of Cycling in Monterey County this month, Sea Otter Classic.

Our Bike Buzz, Special Edition shares the viewpoints of some of those people, in four posts — including youth, women, first-time and long-time attendees, people speaking languages other than English, and people visiting from other countries:

(Edit: Just passing this along, not doing the article.) Looking for #cyclists in the #EastBay to help a reporter (Cristina) doing a cycling and climate resiliency article:

“Hi all, I'm a freelance journalist putting together a story on cycling
for climate resilience publication Knee Deep Times
(kneedeeptimes.org). They're a SF Bay Area online news site focused on
infrastructure, science, and policy that will help the SF Bay navigate
and weather climate change.

“I'm writing about cycling and ways to encourage it or make it easier
and safer through infrastructure. Have talked with a Bike East Bay
representative and got some useful info about the upcoming greenway
path from Fremont to Lake Merritt BART, but would love to hear more
perspectives, anecdotes, etc to fill my piece out into a story.
Something interesting, some kind of intriguing character who bikes or
story about someone's cycling adventures.”

#Transport for #London (TfL) is beginning the second phase of work to improve Nine Elms Lane and #Battersea Park Road, starting on 28 April and due to finish by autumn 2026. The project will enhance safety and accessibility for pedestrians, #cyclists, and bus users, supporting the area’s growth. Key improvements include 1.6km of continuous cycleways, wider footways, new pedestrian crossings, upgraded bus stops, 24 new trees, and better drainage. Lane closures and traffic restrictions will be in place, with some diversions and temporary bus stop relocations. #TfL aims to minimise disruption, but journey times may increase. The work will also support local regeneration, improve climate resilience, and encourage sustainable travel.

The image shows a modern urban street scene with a large cylindrical glass skyscraper dominating the centre. The road is divided into various lanes, one marked as a bus lane and another labelled "KEEP CLEAR." The left side features a pedestrian pavement with trees and a grassy area. Several people are walking or cycling, and there are vehicles, including buses and cars, travelling along the road. In the background, more contemporary buildings are visible under a blue sky with some clouds. TfL image
The image shows a busy urban street scene in a contemporary city. A wide road is divided into multiple lanes, some designated for buses. Several cars and a traditional black taxi are in motion on the road, sharing space with bicycles and motorbikes. Two red double-decker buses are visible further down the street. Pavements on both sides of the road feature pedestrians, including a person pushing a pram and a child walking beside an adult. Several bicycles are also on the pavement. Modern high-rise buildings, composed of glass and brick, line the street, with large windows and balconies. Green trees planted along the pavement add greenery to the scene, contrasting with the urban architecture. TfL image

It's a lovely city!
