Cycle campaigning

^ think J means new Regional Director for Sustrans in London

OK, quick question, has anyone done any digging through the Census data to get info on the number of households with a car in each borough?

If you have, could someone let me know the numbers for Wandsworth and Merton?

I had a very quick look, but I can't find the answers to the relevent question, and thought that I'd ask so as not to duplicate work if I didn't have to.

Talk to Charlie Barraball about it? he may know more contact about that.

Cheer up you grumpy curmudgeons, says James May:

found what I was looking for - 2011 Census: KS404EW Car or van availability, local authorities in England and Wales on this page - http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/publications/re-reference-tables.html?edition=tcm%3A77-286262

Cyclists jump red lights and ride across the pavement, but so what? **Cyclists are pedestrians really, since they are leg-powered. **They've just added a few levers and cogs to improve their own efficiency.

This viewpoint is pretty much what my theory that people don't see cyclists as a road user but a peds that's happen to be on the road.

thanks MM, theres a new guy in charge in cowcross st.
really cool, and German, knows the score.

Ha, ha, I've only just decoded this. For a moment there, I took it at face value without realising that you must be referring to the new(ish) Sustrans London director, German Dector-Vega, in which 'German' is just the Spanish version of 'Herman' and pronounced with a 'ch' as in 'Loch'. German is indeed a very good guy. :)

still cant pronounce it though :/

Radio 4 You & Yours just broadcast a piece 12.30 ish Monday 21st on gov consultation around cycle 'issues'. Only caught the end but seems voices need to be heard right now! I'm going to check iplayer.

Yes it mentioned the 'Get Britain cycling' inquiry set up by the APPCG

There is a thread about this http://www.lfgss.com/thread97441.html
And this page will be regularly updated

Is this campaigning?

It's scaremongering.
@LCC people do you not want to promote cycling?

Guadalajara Critical Mass and "White Bikes" schemes. I prefer the White Bikes term, much more than Ghost Bikes.

Yes! The latest census figures are out and Hackney's are pretty good:

Also on Hackney:

There's still a lot of work to do, but we're getting there.

Islington isn't half-bad, either.

A good number of East London fixie-skidders will have contributed to that, so keep converting your friends!

Really happy right now. As I said, there's always more work to do, so join us if you're keen:

Excellent stuff!
good to get some good news for a change ;)

Go Hackney!

Go Hackney!

Great strap-line for a London wide campaigning message

Or 'Hackneyise' as our own Buffalo Bill says: http://buffalobillbikeblog.wordpress.com/2013/01/23/hackneyise/

sounds a bit hackneyed to me

This is what the Kingsland High Street (A10) looks like. Great stuff. Need to start a 'Hackneyise' London campaign as Buffalo Bill suggested.

In. :)

Oh, and ...

bike blog on cycling infrastructure and the Get Britain Cycling Parliamentary Inquiry..
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/bike-blog/2013/feb/06/cycling-infrastructure-ignored-little-change

Makes for interesting reading..

Does anyone have the numbers or know where I can find the numbers for deaths and injuries related to: pedestrians and traffic; recreational sport - running, tennis, football, rugby etc.

I'm trying to think of ways to show how safe cycling is in relation to other "normal" activities, and other sporting activities..

If someone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated..
