I have previously written about Wick Road, and having thought more about it, have now written my full consultation response. Please respond – the consultation closes on July 10th. Feel free to borrow any of what I’ve written, if you agree with it. I’ve said I don’t support the Wick … Continue reading
People living in or cycling through Hackney: the consultation is here, there’s an exhibition of the plans on Tuesday, a Hackney Cyclists meeting on Wednesday and Hackney Cycling Conference on Friday. This is a post prompted by something apparently minor: the loss of less than a hundred metres of cycle … Continue reading
Recently I got to hear more about Transport for London’s cycle superhighway modelling. TfL are rightly proud of their modelling work and I’m particularly pleased about their recent focus on cycling, traditionally so poorly dealt with in transport models.

At London’s Space for Cycling ride on the 17th May, Andrew Gilligan said something that sounded rather ominous: “We shall see if the forces supporting cycling are greater than the forces opposing cycling.” Even in Cambridgeshire, where Cambridge City boasts the UK’s highest rates of cycling (58% of residents cycle … Continue reading

What Cambridge does matters for all of us: those in charge of transport policy in Cambridge – the British city with the highest cycling rate, and rising – should be setting high standards. So are they? What can others learn, positively and negatively? Cambridgeshire County … Continue reading
If you live in London, or cycle in London, please respond to the Central London Grid Consultation. It closes Friday, so time is short. The consultation page is here. I’ve copied below a draft of the response that I’ll be putting in by Friday; please feel free to borrow bits … Continue reading
