Nearly 600,000 cycle journeys in less than 2 months since the counter was reset, averaging about 9,700 trips per day. This number surpasses all motor traffic. This week has seen freezing temperatures, but that hasn't deterred cyclists. They are a hardy bunch @cs3cs6count.bsky.social

Since the counter was fixed, well over half a million cycle journeys have been made in less than two months. At peak times, records show that rush hour traffic consists of 250 motor vehicles ph in the am & 350 in the pm, considerably less than the number of bikes. Time for another cycle lane

Just an average day in Soho, Berwick St, among its famous food stalls. Remember, the residents and the Soho Society prefer traffic and cars over pedestrianisation and al fresco dining @mayoroflondon.bsky.social

Before smartphones, many Londoners would have an A-Z handy to navigate London, first published in 1936. It's good to see Central London, A to Z style, on the panniers of a London Ambulance E-Bike. The bicycle is still the quickest way to get to someone in Central London after all these years

Everything about driving is heavily subsidised to maintain your car dependency. This is a start

I've waited a lifetime for a safe, separated cycle lane on Theobalds Road to protect me from impatient drivers. Cyclists outnumber motorised vehicles on this stretch of road, so it's only fair that the balance shifts toward more efficient modes of transport. Well done, Camden Council

8 a.m. this morning on a very chilly but beautiful day, a month since the counter was fixed, 339,000+ journeys by bicycle in one month. Imagine if they were car journeys; cycle lanes benefit everyone. @cs3cs6count.bsky.social

Happy new LTN week to those who celebrate.
In a borough with the lowest car ownership per household in London (26%), drivers are still frothing at the consequences of their own actions: driving. It's no longer just about you.

Regardless of whether the average speed in central London is between 8.7 mph and 7.1 mph, there will still be someone who complains about the new markings at St John Street, Smithfield, part of the transformation to make it more pedestrian and cycle-friendly

At 9am this week, another 80,000+ bike journeys along the Embankment. To put this in perspective, there are more bike journeys per hour in this 1 lane than there are in the 4 motor vehicle lanes on the same route. If you want to get cities moving, build more cycle lanes @cs3cs6count.bsky.social

Here are 10 cyclists taking up the space of approximately one car.
In London, 60% of car trips are single-occupant

Should be 200,000+ cycle journeys today in 2.5 weeks on the Embankment since the counter was fixed on the 24th of September. Chefs kiss London. @cs3cs6count.bsky.social

It's impressive how quickly Paris has transformed car-dominant roads, prioritising more efficient modes of transportation. One lane for drivers on the right side, made to wallow in their own stop-and-start inefficiency, two giant lanes for bikes.

80000+ cycle journeys in Autumnal weather this week along the Embankment. Tell me cycling is not popular in London. The counter was fixed last week @cs3cs6count.bsky.social

After not working for three months, it's been fixed in the last few days. London was well on its way to passing 3 million cycle journeys on this route, a new record, but I guess we will never know now. Until next year, then @cs3cs6count.bsky.social

There is still a group of Nimbys and taxi drivers who prefer this to the pedestrianisation of Oxford Street, thinking retail will close & crowds disappear. If only Oxford St had at least 6 Tube lines and several stations within walking distance, connecting all of London, then maybe, this might work

Roads busier this morning in London? The school run is back.
The school run accounts for nearly 30% of morning traffic in London ( 43% in Tower Hamlets)
You may well ask ‘How am I supposed to do the school run with 4 kids without an SUV ?’
Tell me they're not having fun

I love the Strand Aldwych. It used to be four lanes of traffic that cut off St. Mary le Strand Church, but now it's a space for people and plants. Once these changes are made in cities, no one ever wants to revert to the way things were. ♥️ London
