And still a massive black hole of unsafe cycling in areas covered by @BarnetCouncil 🙁
We'll continue to roll out & connect up @mayorofLondon's growing cycle network:
🚲C9 East Brentford to Kensington Olympia
🚲C23 Lea Bridge to Dalston
🚲C34 North Acton to Shepherds Bush
🚲C37 Hackney to Westferry
🚲C50 Finsbury Park to Camden Town
& a borough cycling program

Fantastic to this video and Dr Bike being back in Barnet but when are you going to implement proper cycling infrastructure so everyone who wants to can reach hospitals in the borough safely by bike @BarnetCouncil ??
One of the doctors 👨⚕️ from Barnet Hospital, Gabor, visited a free Dr Bike session we held last week for #GreatBigGreenWeek and told us all about why he loves to cycle ❤️🚲

The car really can be such a burden... #rightoolforthejob
Denmark's public transit agency has made the greatest transit advertisement of all time. No notes. (Din Offentlige Transport)
'the more cyclists on the road the better' 👍. @BarnetCouncil we are here to help you achieve that!
Cllr Tim Roberts shows how ‘active travel’ can make you more optimistic. We’re heading into autumn, but he is still enjoying summer! ☀️🚲
Cycling can improve your mental and physical fitness. 😊 Want to take it up? Maybe we can help? ➡️ barnet.gov.uk/roads-and-pave…

Today is #WorldCarFreeDay.
It’s a good day to have a think: if you can make a journey without driving, please do. It’ll help reduce air pollution, make our environment better, and we’d be very grateful. 😊

Great to see Cllrs getting out on bikes and spreading awareness of #WorldCarFreeDay.Barnet declared a climate emergency in May. Much more is needed to ensure Barnet becomes a cycle safe,active travel, healthy streets chart topping Borough. We look forward to helping achieve this!
Our Cllrs are getting on their bikes for #WorldCarFreeDay!
Using sustainable transport can bring huge benefits to climate change, health, our air & the local economy.

Read this, read it again and let it sink in..'the highest number of early deaths linked to poor air quality were in ...BARNET...' How can any of us stand by and let this continue @BarnetCouncil ???
The highest number of early deaths linked to poor air quality were in Bromley, Barnet, Havering and Croydon. It is estimated harmful emissions could cost the NHS & social care £10.4bn over the next 30 years if no further action is taken. Have your say: haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/clean…

@willnorman Barnet cycle infra needs a facelift! Or maybe open heart surgery. My mum is happy to show you round any time! It’s not fair that she can’t cycle safely where she lives…

Unfortunately there are no safe on-road cycle lanes in @BarnetCouncil (except for the disjointed one on the #A1000) so cycling is not the default mode of transport for kids. Hopefully the newly elected leaders will change that @BetterSt4Barnet @BarnetLCC
