If they can do school streets along BOTH sides of The Oval - a 27,500 seat cricket stadium in Lambeth, London - well I think we should be able to put them just about everywhere in NYC! @OpenPlans @StreetsblogNYC @NYC_DOT @NYCMayor @TransAlt @JohnSurico @BobaCyclist @dahvnyc @saraklind @sabinathegreat

Remembering Upper Thames Street towards Victoria Embankment via the Blackfriars underpass in 2001, before the cycle lanes were built and there was no traffic in central London

No more waiting for the green signal. In one week, the Oxford Street pedestrianisation begins. More space. Less traffic. Our nation's high street deserves no less.

Love seeing people travelling to work by bike. Despite the Blackfriars bike lane being dug up!

The tragic killing of 7-year old Nicolò, who just wanted to ride to school, triggered a massive wave of protests in #Turin🇮🇹. 🕗 Every day from 7:45 to 8:45 citizens create a Human Bike Lane on Corso Regina Margherita. Until the city removes the danger. (🎞️ by Bikepride Torino)

Happiness😍! Look at these kids in #Barcelona experiencing true freedom in a 'BiciBus' to school every Friday. A small intervention with lasting impacts! Who can possibly oppose streets that foster this? (🎞️ by @lljunca)

Greyfriars Square is taking shape beside St Paul's. A former section of road is being transformed into a more welcoming public space for people to spend time and enjoy the area. Watch the transformation begin to unfold https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyylSnTYJLc

On a dark dark hill there was a dark dark town. In the dark dark town there was a dark dark library. And in the dark dark library... there was a big skeleton, a little skeleton and a dog skeleton! Stromness Library is ready for #Halloween with Steph's fabulous #Funnybones art!

Oxford Street has long been the nation’s high street. On Monday 26 October, it’ll go permanently traffic-free and pave the way for a greener, more welcoming street with new opportunities for retail and leisure. lbc.co.uk/article/oxford-str…

Oxford Street to be pedestrianised from October | LBC

Vehicles will be prohibited from accessing almost a kilometre between Orchard Street and Great Portland Street from October 26

Monday morning outside Rotterdam Centraal, thousands of cyclists stream toward the station in a choreographed flow. What you’re seeing is the power of systems thinking—the bicycle and train succeed because they work together seamlessly; each mode extends the reach of the other.

Absolute no idea, but must have been well over 1000 on assorted wheels cycling west along Clapham Common Southside. Didn’t move for 10 mins as they basically used whatever bit of tarmac they fancied and I believe it’s frowned upon to ram them.

London schools are running out of children More than 90 schools have closed since 2019 as birth rates fall and high housing costs forces people to move out or stick to one child The trend is set to intensify, with inner London facing an 11% fall in primary numbers by 2030
