If we build #ActiveTravel infrastructure at all, it’s piecemeal or eg goes through a poorly lit park then we wonder why cycling for transport is dominated by the least risk averse, ie. young men.

And all because a few people get angry on FB #MyRideOurRight @[email protected] @[email protected]

Well, I guess it's good for active travel campaigners that Heidi Alexander has remained as lead transport minister. That should mean Chris Boardman stays as Commissioner. #activetravel #heidialexander #biketooter

Attention Londoners. Delighted tonight to discover that #Islington Council is proposing to redesign Market Road in N1 - parked cars will define westbound lane; a raised track will provide eastbound equivalent.
There are also improvements to pavements, zebra crossings and bus stops, more trees with better beds and rain gardens to absorb water.
It also improves links between Islington and Camden. Get your comments in there. #joiningthedots #cycling #activetravel #London
