I spotted five family bikes at a single junction this morning. Not an event or a photoshoot; just the school run in London🚲
Over 250,000 cars do the morning school run in LDN - our bike lanes & school streets are enabling families to choose better options. 🚲🚶♀️🛴👨🦽🤸♀️

Am in Copenhagen looking at their outstanding cycle infrastructure - developed over 50 years through cross-party political ambition and long term funding.
Probably the best bike lanes in the world!

The Copenhagen kids traffic park is one of the loveliest things I have ever seen.
It’s where kids learn to cycle with mini-street furniture - mini bike lanes, signalised junctions, roundabouts, crossings, mini bus stops everything.

The evidence is clear – active travel benefits the nation.
Walking, wheeling and cycling for everyday journeys – to work, school, the shops or for leisure – supports our health, keeps money in our pockets and boosts local high streets.
ALT Text reads: ‘Worth Every Step. How active travel benefits the nation.’ Text against a visualisation of a town.
ALT Text reads: ‘Households that give up a second car in favour of active short trips could save around £1,700 per year on average – that’s more than £17,000 over 10 years.’
ALT Text reads: ‘More people adopting healthier lifestyles would free up around 1.7 million GP appointments every year and lead to 4.4 million fewer sick days.’

Today, the Government has announced plans to deliver thousands of new walking, wheeling and cycling routes across England, transforming everyday trips to schools, shops and services.
We're central to delivering this – helping to shape happier, healthier and greener communities.

ULEZ has dramatically improved air quality in London.
New evidence shows that our policies are reducing hospital admissions for breathing and heart problems 💚

Young trees need at least 50L of water per week in order to become well-established trees in the future, which they are unlikely to get from summertime showers in the UK.
Water you local street trees today to give them the best chance at a healthy future 🌳

Over 1500 London schools take part in @tfl's Travel for Life programme - boosting active travel & improving air quality across the capital.
It was a great to meet the 18 schools nominated for awards this year.
Well done to all involved 👏

Low Traffic Neighbourhoods are helping make London's streets safer and enable more people to walk & cycle.
Great to see more being made permanent - with extensive urban drainage systems & planting to help prevent flooding & boost biodiversity.

As part of our commitment to reduce road danger, we're installing new pedestrian & cycle crossings across London.
Great to see work progressing on the Cassland Road crossing - helping connect Victoria Park, Well Street Common & the Barnabus Rd LTN.

Sad to see anti-cycling campaigners Vincent Stops & John Stewart accusing us of some sort of cover up.
We've been clear. Falling cycle deaths is good news, but rising numbers of serious injuries shows we've much more to do. Hence our new Vision Zero plan - inc more bike lanes.

As cycling in London soars, we're expanding our network of safe cycleways.
Great to see some serious construction underway along Whipps Cross Road in @wfcouncil.
This will transform the corridor making it easier & safer to access amenities like Epping Forest & the hospital.

Cycling in London is booming - with 1.5m cycle trips every day. So we're expanding London's network of cycleways to keep people safe.
Great to see construction underway on permanent bike lanes on Goodsway, Kings Cross, Camden.
