Hi, Looking for someone who can help with moving some furnitures and stuff from flat in sydenham to beckenham about 20 min drive. 2 or 3 rides in panel van. Ideally from about 3pm. Help loading and unloading the van please. Thank you Joanna

What about lights? You didn't answer that bit..... Millions of people would respectfully disagree with you on the bright clothes issue. Remember the wise words from the fighter pilot...always wear high contrast clothes and a helmet...as a cyclist myself both seem like very, very sensible suggestions.

What is not true that I linked it to getting £800m of funding. You added the £800m, I said lobbying for funds. In 2020 they were lobbying for funds - they got £87m in the first round. You are constantly adding things people didn't say to aid your attacks. Multiple posters have had to tell you before but please stop it. You do it all the time. Again. Just nonsense. I pasted the opening sentence from the press release in it's entirety. That wasn't selective editing (something i notice you did to my 2021 post you passed to try to attack me). P.S. are you suggesting the 9.5x growth in cycling hasn't materialised because demand hasn't return? As a side note tube demand is back to between 81% and 88% of pre-covid levels. Growth. Yes. Close to the ten-fold Streetspace was touted as potentially delivering? Nowhere near. The TFL modelling was clearly either massively flawed or folks were trying to drive an opportunistic narrative? No matter the circumstances a tenfold increase was clearly never going to happen under any circumstances. Again. Nonsense. This latest round of attacks were triggered because I dared asked whether anyone knew what was creating the sudden rise in cycling growth. Again, I posted the LCC comments (which you attacked me for) to try and draw out a discussion. Clearly impossible when those you are engaging with are just here for an argument.

Do you want your oak leaves raked up and taken away? It's just that I am looking for a supply of oak leaves which I use to make compost with a low ph factor.

We have used Aria a lot. He is always prompt to reply, always shows up when he says he will and does a great job. We wouldn't use anyone else.

Hi no relation Burke roofing

Did anyone actually make this claim - or are you putting words into people's mouths again? You've repeatedly referenced a 'promise of a tenfold increase' that was nothing of the sort, and suggested it was linked to getting £800m of funding, which it was not. It's neither true, nor relevant to this thread: As for this: Nope. Wrong. Carefully re-read the press release. I have. And I read it in the context of Mayors questions and discussions that took place at the time. Have you read it? You've quoted this from the press release 👇 It is also says in the release: "if demand returns." (which you've omitted). What did I say, it was to "accommodate a possible ten-fold increase in cycling and five-fold increase in walking compared to pre-COVID levels should demand return and social distancing remain in place”. Almost word for word from the press release, but even clearer if you read the broader discussions around this at the time. And again, relevant how? You're trying to minimise what is significant and sustained growth in cycling over many years, by misrepresenting something said in 2020. Why? It's just nonsense tactics to deflect and obfuscate in the face of news that doesn't fit the narrative you've been pushing that bike infrastructure is ineffective.

Nope I don't believe bright clothes make a big difference, the article I posted earlier reviewed the evidence and considered that things that were moving such as reflectors on pedals caught the attention better. It may be that we remember someone in bright clothing whilst clocking everyone else, as giving space to cyclists is an automatic/subconscious thing (as is much of driving) that we learn. A big difference between a £40 fixed penalty notice and being done for dangerous driving, careless driving etc.

Did anyone actually make this claim - or are you putting words into people's mouths again? Nope. Wrong. Carefully re-read the press release. https://www.london.gov.uk/press-releases/mayoral/mayors-bold-plan-will-overhaul-capitals-streets?fbclid=IwdGRjcAOleDhjbGNrA6V4H2V4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHnjF6_KNVYD87w51L1CY3cxDmYTY7vuJ-W5EkVv-Dy0q2Lv8Bb8145EFPl9O_aem_tH55yqGGzEhBy4g5u7h3Fg I mean the headline tells you what they were saying: Mayor’s bold new Streetspace plan will overhaul London’s streets and so do the bullets linked to the headline: Transformation of London’s roads to be fast-tracked, giving space to new cycle lanes and wider pavements to enable social distancing Landmark locations to benefit from temporary bike routes and more space for walking to reduce pressure on Tube and buses Clean, green and sustainable travel to be at the heart of London’s recovery Cycling could increase 10-fold and walking five-fold post-lockdown And the first line: The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, and TfL have today unveiled their ‘London Streetspace’ programme which will rapidly transform London’s streets to accommodate a possible ten-fold increase in cycling and five-fold increase in walking when lockdown restrictions are eased. I mean, it's pretty clear (even to me) what they are saying. That's their view (interesting don't you think that they are saying they need to see more detail to determine where it is coming from). I thought it might catalyse some of you out of the attack dog zone and spur a discussion. Clearly not.

I'm sorry, but the Mayor did not promise a tenfold increase as a condition to "get" a specific £800 million investment: In December 2016, the Mayor pledged a record £770 million investment in cycling initiatives over five years (equating to about £154 million annually), which was near the spending levels of cycling-friendly nations like Denmark and the Netherlands (I don't believe this actually happened by the way). The idea of a potential "tenfold" increase in cycling emerged later during the pandemic as a potential outcome of the new Streetspace policies, not as a target tied to securing a specific £800 million fund. There was a concern in May 2020 (when we had no vaccination for COVID and were due to come out of lockdown), that should social distancing remain in place and demand returned to pre-lockdown levels, London's public transport capacity would potentially be reduced to a fifth of pre-crisis levels. That would leave millions of journeys a day needing to be made by other means. The mayor said at the time that "If people were to switch even a small fraction of those journeys to cars London risks grinding to a halt". They proposed an extension to the bike network and extended pavements, to accommodate a possible ten-fold increase in cycling and five-fold increase in walking compared to pre-COVID levels should demand return and social distancing remain in place. As it turned out, demand didn't return - lot's of people switched to remote working and then vaccines came in which eventually removed the need for social distancing. What you have stated is just wrong, and irrelevant to this discussion. As usual, you're just recycling talking points from Facebook groups and 'bloody cyclists' Twitter rants. The rhetorical framing (using the language of 'declines', when describing increases), the cherry picking of data points (ignoring a clear trend), the quotes taken out of context and misrepresented; It's boring. Instead of the 'just asking questions' nonsense and hackneyed propaganda recycled from social media, have an original thought and say what it is clearly. Why are you quoting the LCC - are you saying that's your view?
