Vigil for Irene
@lewishamcyclists.bsky.social

Streets for Kids | Solve the School Run London's streets are dangerous and toxic for our children. Join us this election period in asking your council for Streets for Kids.

🚨 Every year 443 children are injured on the school run in London. That’s the same number of children as a large primary school.

😢 Every injury has a lasting impact on the child and family.

This isn’t right.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Vigil for Irene Leardini this evening. Good to see members of the press, Lewisham Council and our local MP attend.

We'll be writing to TfL to try to engage in some sort of dialogue about the A2. Hopefully we won't have to do this again.

Incredible work universe in setting it up today for a cinematic cycle with my neighbours to a community meeting.
Managed to pass the @lewishamcyclists.bsky.social cargo bike (and rider) on the way out and then happen upon a @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk session packing up on the way back.

Having to leave the workspace where we have run a community cycle workshop for nearly a decade now. Delivering bike fixing, bike maintenance training, refurbishing old bikes and passing them on. All for those on lower incomes in the area. A few memories here.

Fines from speeding go to the Treasury. Cox is putting out deliberate disinformation. And also, speeding is not law abiding by definition.

And don’t forget we are continuing with our monthly Dr Bike in Grove Park and will be back in Beckenham Place Park in the Spring for our monthly 3 season Dr Bike there. Check our calendar lewishamcyclists.org.uk/calendar-of-...

So so sad to leave the old Scout Hut but we will be back somewhere in Deptford again with our mobile workshop in the New Year and still actively looking for a permanent venue as well. If anyone can help do get in touch, bearing in mind we are cash poor!

And just like that, more than a decade of bike repair workshops in Deptford at Ron Hoskin Hall come to an end.

Thanks to everyone who's helped over the years. Mechanics, Volunteers and supporters. You're all wonderful.

Here's to the next chapter, wherever that is.

Working in a community cycle workshop, you never get to work on anything but older bikes!

Bromley! Where things end!

If you’re coming to the final stage of my Marginal Mystery Tour, thank you. And see you later. 👋

Those who say 20mph/30kmh limits are only needed 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴 are ignoring the fact that children don't live 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴.

Children, and everyone else, need the protection of 20mph/30kmh limits on their whole cycling and walking route from home to school, shops, work and friends. It's why #20
