#London #Cycling
As the LCC Women’s Network, we are calling for safe cycling for women in London. We want to see riding a bike made safe, easy and convenient for women of all ages, backgrounds and abilities, across the whole city. In 2023, we surveyed over 1,000 women about their experiences cycling in London and the responses were shocking. 9 in 10 of the women surveyed had faced abuse from other road users while cycling. We received countless reports of harassment, aggression and even physical and sexual assault.
Today was pretty amazing #womensfreedomride #BikeTooter Riders protest for safer cycling for women in London
Most of what you know about the Black Panthers, is a lie. It is intentional disinformation, created and circulated by the FBI, with the assistance and complicity of newspapers and local police. This disinfo was spread as part of the FBI's counter intelligence program (COINTELPRO).
This is not some unfounded conspiracy, this is documented and now admitted by the FBI.
The Black Panthers were the good guys, and the FBI were the cartoonishly evil Bond villain bad guys. Seriously.
We can't swap from petrol cars to electic cars like for like. New research looks into the environmental impact of this in the US in relation to lithium mining.
We need more active travel and public transport while reducing car use.

New study finds on average low traffic neighbourhoods in London don't lead to major displacement of motor traffic to boundary roads. Research finds decrease within the LTNs, adding to research showing traffic reduction schemes lead to traffic evaporation.
