Great fun at the #CargoBikeFestival today! Thanks @pedalmeapp @ternbicycles @RaleighBikes_UK @London_Cycling @TfL and others who made it happen. Great to see what’s possible (sooo much):

6/6 And due to the way data is recorded, victims who die 30 days after the crash are not reported as fatalities, but as 'serious'
Boidus retweeted
5/6 'Moderately' and 'very serious' injuries. Many of the 3,505 people who were seriously injured in London have sustained life-changing injuries.
Boidus retweeted
4/6 this is a summary of 'Slight' and 'less serious' injuries. Over 23,000 Londoners were within this category in ONE year
Boidus retweeted
3/6 Injury severity is attributed by recording the MOST serious injury the victim sustains. This means many victims will have sustained more than one injury.
Boidus retweeted
2/6 These are the total number of reported road casualties in London in 2021. But what does 'serious' and 'slight' mean?

1/6 A thread 🧵 on road traffic injury classification - shared with us by the incredible @VictoriaLeBrec at our recent #visionzero event for Haringey. We found these numbers shocking - and yet there is so little discussion in London on the thousands impacted by these incidents
Boidus retweeted
The deputation reported that filtered roads have reduced traffic within Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, as well as on boundary roads
Haringey is working on:
🚦 safer road crossings
🚍 better bus lanes
🚸 & we have the fastest growing School Streets programme in London
Great support & passionate speeches from team @HealthyStAnns representing the 60% + non car owners in an area of high social & affordable homes on now calmed residential roads. Spring bringing great results.

Excellent options now emerging for families to avoid the eye watering costs of first family cars & instead consider cargo e-bikes as the primary mode of transport. #activetravel #healthystreets
The Copenhagen-based startup Mate wants to convince car owners that cargo e-bikes can effectively replace expensive cars, even for families. domusweb.it/en/sustainable-c…
Great response to Chiles Guardian sneering comparing all the eye watering costs of standard family car vs standard e cargo bike. “Hey, Adrian Chiles, e-cargo bikes can cost £4,000 and actually that’s v good value…” cyclingelectric.com/news/hey… #cargobikes #activetravel #livingstreet
Good feature in @HamandHigh about how e-bikes are making parts of town more accessible for two cyclists. Another positive active travel tail. Cc @HappyHaringey @HaringeyLiving @HaringeyCP @living_belmont @living_belmont @livingstreets #healthystreets #livingstreets #activetravel
I wrote about three amazing women who pace it up the formidable hills of Hampstead and Highgate 🚲🚲💥💥
~ Tessa, who’s in her 60s and leaves me for dust 🚲💨
~ And thanks to E-bikes, Angela, who’s in her 70s, and Jean who’s, wait for it - 88! ⭐️⭐️ 1/2

Good to see @CarlosMorenoFr interviewed in @Dezeen & discuss the positives of his theories & the great results in practice. Also responds to the reactive small tin foil hat brigade spurred on by big oil & car industry. #15mincities #healthystreets #activetravel

Here’s motivation for @haringeycouncil & @mikehakata to press on. Make #StAnns #BruceGrove #WestGreen #BoundsGreen #LtNs permanent. Working to all metrics in #hackney. Great leadership from @metecoban92. Don’t be scared @DavidLammy of vocal minority who failed at the ballot box!
Meanwhile middle class Tory boy loves a big semi so compromises by living 3 streets over from the north circular. & then bricks over the garden to park just the three cars. & then parks on the street. He’s so right when he says he’s not represented. Maybe get an LTN in GG?
