Guangzhou isn’t just building bike lanes. It's building a healthy, liveable city.
With 6,000 km. of greenways, it boasts one of the world's largest cycling networks.
What was once overlooked is now impossible to ignore: a vital link in their modern, multimodal transport system.

Thanks, it is positive but listed as 'Amber' and 'subject to resource availability' so still lots to do to try and move this forward. Please help spread the word about the petition - ipetitions.com/petition/a-ca… – at Lambeth, London

Love this! 👏 Such a clear, engaging explainer, and brilliant to see Newsround tackling SUVs and street safety in a way that really resonates with children! Huge congrats to Solve the School Run for getting this conversation into the mainstream. 🚸🚲

Great work Rosendale team for turning out for this protest - never easy to break routines before the school run, but this is such an important message.
Let's make travel to every school safe, clean, green and fun!

Glad to see our research in the Daily Mail in a really thoughtful and well researched piece from @ElizabethHaighx. This is the untold story of millions of children making their way to school in levels of unacceptable danger. We need #streetsforkids

Another car crash in Dulwich, this morning on Half Moon Lane.
We only post about a fraction of the incidents on our roads. In London there are 23,000 collisions each year, resulting in 3500 seriously injured and over 100 fatalities.
Where is the media outrage at this?

Hiring an electric cargo bike by the minute is now a reality also in NW3! Parked outside the @WacArts centre in Belsize park you can find a @OurBikeUK cargo bike and start your cargo bike journey today! 😊 🚴♀️ #cycling #cargobike

👏👏Congratulations to @solveschoolrun who have won the Lambeth Climate & Green Spaces award.
About 25% of all London car journeys in the morning are part of the school run. Switching to walking, cycling, scooting or public transport, will improve kids health & cut congestion.

Delighted to see that the Hammersmith Bridge has reopened this weekend - the new cycle lanes look excellent and will give much more space for people walking, wheeling and cycling over the river.

The ride theme was 'space' for cycling, with placards to match. A huge thanks to @RezinaChowdhury for joining at the start and supporting the hundreds of parents & kids calling for action as well as being a city champion we desperately need to tackle #carspreading in the UK 2/2

Once you see #carspreading you can't 'unsee it' so today @KidicalMassLond @solveschoolrun helped us hear it too! Research shows new cars are getting bigger & bigger, taking more space and causing great harm to kids. This is a big wake up call to politicians 🚸 #streetsforkids 1/2

Skip the bus, avoid the traffic & make your school run a breeze with an electric cargo bike! OurBike & @solveschoolrun have a new cargo bike in West Norwood. Rent for under £5/hour. Get it from Bon Velo (495 Norwood Rd). All u need is OurBike app & some pedal power to get started
Another OurBike has landed in Lambeth! 💚
Now at Bon Velo, West Norwood—ready to provide affordable, sustainable transport to the community. 😃

Cars are getting 1cm wider every 2 years. That may not sound much, but over time it adds up, and they're showing no signs of slowing down 😬
That's #carspreading. Our campaign is calling on city leaders to make parking fairer by varying costs based on size of car. Why?

We ran a Mega Bus yesterday in honour of @willnorman joining us. We wanted to show him how joyful & easy it is to run a #BikeBus. Every child in #Camden & across #London deserves to start their day like this! Let’s roll…
