The most inportant thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it has all happened — how fast the people on bikes “appeared” — once streets have been transformed. You can’t write this off as “Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t. It look leadership.

Just had a call from the police and this driver is being prosecuted. Let this be a warning that if you think it's acceptable to drive like this past people on bicycles they could very well have a camera and you could very well be spending a day in court. Speaking as a driver.

This is one of the worst close-passes I've ever, ever experienced and it was totally unnecessary. Footage is now going to @SurreyRoadCops. This person passed me at around 50mph giving me about 4 inches from their side-mirror. I hope this one goes to court.

Replying to @DestinationBike @CycleRandR @SCCLeader
The important thing to note is that the Dutch haven’t always been a #cycling nation. Forty or so years ago their cities were choked with cars too! They made a decision to change we can too!

Scheme was clearly designed to fail. A217 into Reigate from both directions is a HGV traffic rat run to Gatwick, M23 and M25. Does nothing for local high street.

You may see "A cyclist" here. I just see a human being. Remember this when driving. #staywider #closepass. Stay safe all. Let's make sure we all get home safely tonight and every night.

Whilst I commend the fact that Reigate has managed to get it done albeit only temp. The only solution imho is to pave from clock tower and make it pedestrian only. Like Redhill make a peripheral route around Im not planner so would not know how. But I hate Reigate for the traffic

I’m so sad to see how the people of #Reigate have reacted to the temporary cycle lane. Whilst not perfect, change is so desperately needed to reduce unnecessary traffic going through town centre. Thank you @CycleRandR for all your efforts thus far, let the battle continue...

Those cars. They're not visiting your business. They're driving past it as a short-cut to the enormous supermarket down the road.

Two streets any town any country. Which one generates more income for businesses and provides a more relaxed atmosphere for people.?

Yesterday I moved out of my flat in Surrey Quays to a new flat in Eastcote, a journey of about 20 miles. Luckily working for @pedalmeapp meant I didn't have to hire a van. Some of the hills were a bit tough though!

The language is really important - cars are (not yet) self-driving. The drivers mounted the pavement. If anyone wants to complain to the BBC about this, and other uses of language in reporting of stories involving drivers: bbc.co.uk/contact/complaints… teapawt.net/BBCLondonNews/status/1…

If modal filtering is so bad, why do I never receive e-mails from residents asking me to remove any the existing 120, but plenty of e-mails asking for more?

Imagine being able to slap a “too hot for France” sticker on your marketing campaign. Stuff of dreams! (French advertising watchdog has banned this TV bike ad cos it hurt car industry feelings)
