Tigers Crossing!
No tigers, really. This is a new crossing in Hackney which allows cyclists to legally cross the road without dismounting, and with priority. We’d love to see one of these on the route from Crane Park, and in all sorts of other locations across the borough!
One Way Streets We’re asking the council to make it possible to cycle on more of our one way streets, and they’ve promised to consider these. You can see the proposed list on our site – www.richmondlcc.co.uk -‐ and you’ll see a link to add your comments, or of course email us directly.
£10m for the A316 Transport for London has committed £10m to fix cycling on the A316. This money isn’t going to spent for a while, but we’d really like your feedback on what you like and don’t like about using this key road in the borough. In a classic example of two groups not talking to each other, TfL has just approved a
pointless and very minor upgrade to Marksbury Avenue which we didn’t like, and nor did the local residents’ association – so make your voice heard!
Twickenham – What can we say? As we warned, two years ago, the new Twickenham is terrible for cycling. But our best tweet this month highlighted this beautiful picture from Twitter’s @bikesandbabies, showing her four year old, riding a bike safely in London. We’ve constantly told the council that this is what they should be aiming for, but they still don’t seem to get it.
New Brooms But there are some new brooms at the council, and we need your help keeping them ‘on the job’, so why not come along to the Cycling Liaison Group? You can see all the details here -‐ http://cabnet.richmond.gov.uk/ieListMeetings.aspx? CommitteeId=453 -‐ as well as the date of the next meeting, 21 July.
Rides And there are more free rides going on – check out our site (richmondlcc.co.uk) or the rides page on LCC (lcc.org.uk/events) for more details.
Bikefest Finally, we’ll hopefully be at Bikefest this year at Kneller Gardens, on 28th June – come along for goodies and bike talk! (Details at http://www.richmond.gov.uk/strictly_cycling).
