We’ve done it! Oxford St is now pedestrianised.

Like London, Paris has rapidly expanded its network of cycle lanes. It was great to get out and try them. Really inspiring but, like London, still lots to do - felt a bit scary at some of the junctions. #2CyclingCities

It’s always inspiring seeing what other cities do to make streets safer. In Paris, it’s impossible not to notice the ubiquitous zebra crossings that help give pedestrian priority on side roads. I’m delighted we’re working with Dept Transport to start trialing these at scale in London.

Paris - unlike London - has had the powers to regulate dockless e-bikes. Walking around, you can really see how regulations result in orderly parking. Government is giving UK cities similar powers so we can ensure bikes are parked as well as these in future.

La Tour de France Femmes is coming to London 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️ Sun 1 Aug 27 - watch the world’s greatest riders on your streets for free! I was honoured to join La Tour in Paris today for the launch of the 2027 route. #TDFF2027

We're launching a brand new Santander Cycles App - making it quicker & easier to hire our bikes 🚲🚲 A temp service closure from 13-17 Nov will enable the upgrade. New customers will get a free ride & existing customers will get a subscription extension tfl-newsroom.prgloo.com/news/tfl-and...

Last week I was pleased to visit @hackneycouncil.bsky.social to discuss walking, cycling & public transport improvements. Good to see Dalston Liveable Neighbourhood progressing - with school streets, bus gates, new crossings, traffic filters & rain gardens. news.hackney.gov.uk/news/dalston...

Good to be working in Haringey Council to improve walking and cycling in the borough, while making the roads safer for people. Exciting to see plans for new cycle routes coming forward 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲

For decades too many junctions in London haven't had pedestrian signals - TfL is upgrading these to make it safer for people crossing these busy roads. Good to see the A217 London Rd / Cricket Green junction completed.

With 1.5m daily cycle trips, and the potential for many more, we're expanding London's network of Cycleways. Good to see the progress being made on the new Nine Elms bike lanes.

London traffic this morning🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲 Having expanded London's network of Cycleways from 90km in 2016 to over 450km today, there are now on average 1.5 million cycle trips a day. Wonderful to be part of this happy group of commuters.

Monument Junction, north of London Bridge, is extremely busy & unsafe for people walking & cycling, We're proposing significant safety improvements - inc new crossings, cycle lanes, wider pavements & pedestrianising Fish Street Hill. Have your say: haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/monument-jun...

We're working with London's boroughs to grow our Cycleway Network and enable more people to safely cycle around the capital. I'm looking forward to working with @LBHF who, last night, approved the new Olympia to Hammersmith section of Cycleway 9. 👏👏Cllr Nicole Trehy 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲

As cycling in London soars, we're expanding London's network of Cycleways. Good to see the progress being made on the safety improvements on the A23 at Streatham Hill.

With the delivery of London's new super-sewer, there's been a 86% reduction in raw sewage entering the River Thames 🌊🐟🦈💙 bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Cargo bikes in London are the new normal. Usage is up 126% since 2022 & major logistics companies are looking to expand their fleets - cutting emissions & congestion and saving money. Great visiting London-based manufacturer Minimal to see their operation & try out a new model.

On average there're now about 1.5m daily cycle trips in London🚲🚲🚲 We're working with boroughs to expand our network of Cycleways so that more people can safely cycle around the capital. Great to see the construction progress on the latest section on Cycleway 4 in Greenwich.

Harry Webb was cycling home when he was killed by a driver using nitrous oxide. His tragic death shows the devastating consequences of people taking drugs & driving. I hope that the seriousness of this judgement will deter other offenders in the future. www.londoncentric.media/p/nitrous-ox...

We're working with boroughs across London to expand out network of Cycleways - enabling more people to choose this green, health, cheap & fun way to travel. Good to see progress on construction along Boston Manor Road in @ealingcouncil.bsky.social

Yesterday, I repeated my view that e-bike hire is a mess & doesn't work for anyone. Since 2017, we've been asking for regulatory powers. This government has listened & is changing the law. @londonassembly.bsky.social I talked about changes new powers will bring. zagdaily.com/micromobilit...

We've expanded London's network of cycleways to over 450km - and we're not stopping there. Good to see the construction progress on Cycleway 34 on Wood Lane in Hammersmith & Fulham.

Was pleased to use the new cycle tracks on Shaftsbury Avenue in @camdencouncil.bsky.social this week.

The South Leytonstone Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Waltham Forest looks excellent. Early benefits show: 🚗🚗76% reduction in traffic 🚲🚲172% increase in cycling 🚸🚸safer speeds And I love the sustainable drainage & planting 💚☘️🌱🌳🌹🌻🌷

I always love catching up with Toks from Black Unity Bike Ride Have a look at their brilliant film celebrating this year's event - 1,400 people enjoying riding through London. So much joy & massive thanks to all the volunteers. youtu.be/Mye1hDInOH8?...

Really enjoyed joining @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk this week to learn about Wheels4Me - an amazing inclusive cycle hire project providing adapted cycles for people with disabilities. with @walkwheelcyclet.bsky.social Pedal UK & Motability Foundation

Cargo bike use in London is booming - up 126% since 2022. This week I joined 50 businesses - from Royal Mail to delivery firms, waste companies & tradespeople - to celebrate & raise awareness of this clean, green & economical alternative to diesel vans. #CargoBikeCruiseLDN

Ensuring young people adopt safe active travel habits early makes a lasting difference. That’s why we’ve launched TfL Navigators for 16-18 yr olds - a free programme giving schools & colleges ready-made lessons covering cycling & road safely. travelforlife.tfl.gov.uk

With success of Cycleway 9 - cycling up 60% & safety improvements for all road users - I'm delighted to launch consultation on further safety improvements from Syon Park to Hounslow Town: with new crossings & cycle lanes. 👏 @hounslowcouncil.bsky.social @TfL haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/cycleway-9-w...

Today the Mayor set out his vision for dockless e-bikes in London, with new @TfL powers expected to pave the way for improved regulation and safety 🚲 www.london.gov.uk/mayor-vision...

👀London's newest section of Cycleway!! This section of the Cycleway 4 extension - between Gallions Rd & Charlton Church Lane - is due to open this week. We've expanded our network of Cycleways from 90km in 2016 to 450+km today. And cycling across the capital is soaring🚲🚲🚲

Did you know that London is home to over 400,000 students? TfL offers a 25% discount on Santander Cycles to London students - making it one of the cheapest ways to travel around the capital. Great to see the team out talking to new students during freshers week.

Our public transport and active travel network helps make London one of the best cities in the world. And we’re keen to expand it to connect more communities. Have your say on a new Overground route in west London. haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/west-london-...

V much enjoyed cycling to @activetraveleng.bsky.social conference on Manchester’s bike lanes this morning. Nice job Dame Sarah Storey!

TfL offers unlimited cycle hire rides for £10 www.london-now.co.uk/news/2657188...

Cycling is one of the best ways of exploring London - especially now we’ve got over 450km of Cycleways. To celebrate #WorldCarFreeDay, TfL & Santander are offering half price cycle hire membership 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲

Great to be in Manchester with Active Travel England. Loved exploring the city on fab new bike lanes & hearing Heidi Alexander announce £106m new investment in National Cycle Network. Plus @Chris_Boardman & @DameSarahStorey - Paralympic legend & Strictly star who does my job in here.

Good to see the new pedestrianisation of Greyfrairs Square as part of transformation of St Paul’s Gyratory in the @cityoflondon.bsky.social This will soon be a wonderful new 3500-sq-metre public space - with seating, greening etc - in the v heart of London 💚

Since 2016, we've grown London's network of Cycleways from 90km to over 450km today. The number of cycle journeys have soared to 1.5m a day. We're not stopping there ... Great to see the progress on the new cycleway construction in Woolwich on route to Charlton, SE London.

This week I was pleased to be invited back to speak at London's Walking, Wheeling & Cycling Conference to talk the progress we've made, and the challenges & opportunities to come. Delighted to be on a panel with City of London, Hackney Council & my friend Ed Clancy who does my job in S Yorkshire.

Wonderful to join the New Cross Bike Bus this morning - enabling so many families to cycle to local schools in Lewisham. With over 870 school streets, more & more children are walking & cycling to school in London - a healthy, green and fun way to start the day 💚

Wow! I had to check this wasn't posted on April 1st. It seems that the mad conspiracy theorists have hit a new peak 🤦‍♂️ Just to reassure everyone: traffic lights aren't deadly weapons. They actually help keep people safe. 🚦🚦🚦 devonlive.com/news/devon-new…

I'm honoured to join Bloomberg Initiative for Cycling Infrastructure (BICI) as a global advisor. I look forward to sharing our learnings from London to help other cities improve their cycling infrastructure, creating safer, healthy streets for everyone. globaldesigningcities.org/update/intro...

In the 1970s, over 80% of UK children travelled to school independently. This has fallen to 25% - impacting health, well being, independence etc. In London, we're tackling the school run. With 870 school streets, 66% of kids now walk, cycle or scoot. ldd.news/uk-news/lond...

With over 870 school streets in London, 66% of kids are now getting to school by active travel. Every day there are 73,915 fewer cars doing the school run than when we started in 2016 - that’s the equivalent of a traffic jam from London to Newcastle.

Delighted to sign up for a monthly direct debit donation to the wonderful RNLI These heroic volunteers put their lives on the line to save others at sea. Thank you.
