So another week ends & a big success for me as I’ve managed cycle to &
from the Town Hall every day. It’s really important everyone who can supports @TfL so public transport isn’t overloaded. #LondonTogether As a non cyclist, it’s been a bit of an adventure - some thoughts...
from the Town Hall every day. It’s really important everyone who can supports @TfL so public transport isn’t overloaded. #LondonTogether As a non cyclist, it’s been a bit of an adventure - some thoughts...
1. As well as having obvious health benefits, I can’t tell you strongly enough the positive impact cycling has had on my mental health. Rather than journeying home answering all of the emails I’ve missed in the day, I’ve had some time to switch off & destress.
2. We definitely need more segregated cycle routes. The difference having a few wands & a segregated lane is really remarkable. We’ve also got some great quietways in @Royal_Greenwich & it’s been great to see some new parts of the borough.
3. We need to support new cyclists with some basic training where possible - particularly at the moment where we’ve got a lot of new people out and about. I’ve actually been really surprised with how many!
4. A @BromptonBicycle is a really convenient way to get around - a little complex at first but you soon get the hang of it. It’s not the fastest by any stretch but has been very reliable. So I think I’ll be back on the bike next week!
I hope everyone has a great weekend. If you are coming to use one our parks or green spaces, please do so respectfully & follow the rules. Enjoy the bank holiday!
