Meanwhile cllrs in New Malden voted last night against proper segregation of cycling lanes

Once again LibDems put cyclists at risk, while protecting car users

International Holocaust Remembrance Day is observed today to commemorate the 1945 liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp and the millions of victims of the Holocaust. (1/4) #HolocaustRemembranceDay
Auschwitz, and other Nazi camps, were sites of mass execution, forced labour, and grotesque human experiments. We remember the six million Jewish victims and other minority groups who were persecuted by the Nazis. #NeverForget (2/4)

LibDems in #Kingston once again caught out - blaming TfL for not completing important #SaferStreets cycling infrastructure while TfL say they have given all the money cllrs have asked for and questioning the financial competence of cllrs in this project

Steph Archer as former transport boss and Andreas Kirsch as council leader need to come clean or resign and hand over control to someone who is competent

Meanwhile cyclists are put at risk #RoadSafety

Regretfully, the petition to remove #LGBT content from the #UK curriculum has 197,100 signatures.

The counter petition asking for that content to remain, is rapidly gaining ground. It now has 78,919 signatures!

Pls sign the counter petition if able. British citizens & UK residents have the right to sign. Pls boost otherwise!

Petition: Do not remove LGBT content from the Relationships Education curriculum

We believe kids should learn about this at an early age. I am sure there are many parents who want their and other children taught about LGBT issues in primary school.

It's not about whether you personally want to or need to drive. It’s about understanding the simple truth that in cities, if everyone tries to move by car, no one moves much at all. So the more of us that are enticed to walk, bike and take transit, the better cities work for EVERYONE.

Great article but unfortunately with a lot of focus on Canadian schemes when there are plenty in the U.K.

Do like the idea of Swopfiets in the Netherlands which is a long-term loan scheme

If we are to get more people on bikes - good for #health and for #AirPollution - then these schemes need to be readily accessible along with proper safe infrastructure

(Caveat - bikes should not be left blocking pavements)
