New Clean Cities (🦋 find us @cleancitiescampaign.org) report on sorry state of residential secure cycle parking in London is out! Spoiler alert: postcode lottery for Londoners and we need more cash to end cycle thefts and LONG LONG waiting lists #StolenDreams #ThisIsAwkward... 🧵1/X REPORT: cleancitiescampaign.org/research-list/…

Our report shows 50 bikes stolen every day in London and according to TfL, more than half of Londoners see a lack of cycle parking as a key deterrent to cycling. So we've teamed up with Stolen Ride™- London to gather stories of theft & make some noise...2/X NEWS: standard.co.uk/news/crime/bik…

There's clearly growing demand for secure cycle parking (up 17%) far exceeding supply, with rollout varying lot depending on where people live. Only 7 boroughs meet *current* demand by 2026 and waiting lists will remain more than double the planned rollout in many boroughs... 3/X

In 17 boroughs its cheaper to get annual parking permit for a car than to rent a single space in a cycle hangar 🤯. Only Enfield Council & Lambeth Council its cheaper for a family of 4 to park bikes compared to an EV. Others clearly incentivising car ownership > cycling... 4/X

We also see clear gap between funding and ambition - despite a doubling of provision by boroughs in the coming years - our research shows there will be more than 35,000 Londoners waiting for a secure cycle space in 2026. Boroughs need more support from TfL Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan... 5/X

On-street hangars aren't the only solution either! Our report shines a spotlight on Lambeth Council, where a lot of inspiring action is being led by Cllr. Isla Wrathmell to bring down costs and improve convenience for residents including converting car garages on estates 🔥... 6/X

We're also very grateful to Sian Berry for today raising awareness of our Clean Cities (🦋 find us @cleancitiescampaign.org) report with Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan and really encouraged to see their exchange and that the Mayor gets the issue and seemingly its a priority to fix. We'll be following up 😅...7/X

Finally big thanks to Matthew Clark and team at Steer for producing the report. We hope it will help provoke discussion amongst local authorities wanting to tackle this issue, as well as leading to green jobs in the UK given many of the solutions made here! More of this please 🙏

Modal shift to ‘anything but the car’ is an essential part of GB strategy but it conflicts with ‘growth’. Need to find ways to roll back the trend towards bigger cars, pavement parking, housing developments with car use baked in. Will Transport for the North prioritise decarbonisation?

Car clubs let people share a car without owning one. Like TrydaNi Car Clubs 👇 which helps people save money and travel in a greener way. That’s why we have announced £1M funding to help create more rural car clubs. gov.wales/car-club-netwo… #ClimateActionWales

Green Lanes should be a key part of Haringey’s cycling infrastructure but in its current state it doesn’t fit the bill. Haringey Cycling Campaign is calling for this to change. haringeycyclists.org/news/campaigni…

Car sharing clubs are under threat due to soaring insurance costs, with one describing the issue as an "existential crisis" buff.ly/4bevdrv

The problem here is there's a huge appetite to ride bikes in London and it's not matched with adequate bike parking space or infrastructure.   Councils don't want to risk offending a minority of drivers by removing parking spaces for bike bays. Offend away pls councillors
