Paris has just announced announces 60km of cycle routes connecting all Olympic venues, 10,000 extra bike parking spaces and 3000 extra hire bikes. That's how you truly turn sport into a legacy Mayor of London. We're one week from the start of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games - and its true legacy is not the stadiums, not the athletes, but the shape of the city left behind. London's cycling is quite different to Paris - over a much bigger area, the zone over which London has 'sometimes okay cycling options' (zone 2-4 in parts) is much bigger than Paris. In particular our work on mini-Hollands neighbourhoods and Low Traffic Neighbourhoods through suburbia doesn't have a banlieue equivalent. But Paris is smashing it for the equivalent of Zone 1/2. Meanwhile in London, we've tripled the km of protected cycle lanes in London since 2016, and cycling is now equivalent to a third of all tube journeys. But it's still not good enough, and Paris shows us the pace at which change is possible. Join as an LCC member for our Paris special issue, including interviews with our equivalent campaigning group Paris en Selle, comparing infrastructure before and afters, and a great route around Paris to explore with our ride partners komoot https://lnkd.in/e6MJSKVs #paris #paris2024 #cycling #infrastructure

Very proud of London Cycling Campaign role in this, so important to celebrate the sheer joy and freedom that cycling brings!
Lime, London Cycling Campaign, and LOUD MOBILITY have come together to ‘Share the Joy’ with the launch of a brand new community cycling fund in London. The new fund and campaign aims to celebrate London’s love for cycling, and make it more accessible… and more enjoyable too! 🚲 The £100k fund will help to support organisations and community groups who are improving London’s Accessibility and Inclusion, Health and Wellbeing, and Skills and Connectivity, all through spreading the joy of cycling 🌞 Funded by Lime, the community cycling fund is managed by London Cycling Campaign with support from Loud Mobility, and the first cohort of fund recipients include Cycle Sisters, London Bike Kitchen, The Bike Project, Wheels For Wellbeing and many more. Each will each receive a £2,500 grant to support things like core costs, project costs, and new equipment ⚒️🔧🧰 to increase equitable access to all the benefits of cycling, and may otherwise have difficulty accessing proper funding. The next round of fund grants will be taking place in September, (and more throughout the rest of 2025!). You can find out more by going to: https://lnkd.in/gQ8k5M9D

This week we're celebrating our official security partner ABUS UK & Ireland with an incredible lock giveaway worth £270. Full details and how to enter: https://lnkd.in/ejae9zFw Every year 18,500 bike thefts are reported to the police in London of which less than 1% result in a charge or a caution. Many people who have a bike stolen do not report the crime, and so London’s real bike theft figure is estimated to be nearer 70,000 per year, or around 190 per day. 6 in 10 people who have a bike stolen cycle less often, or stop cycling altogether. As the official security partner of London Cycling Campaign, ABUS UK & Ireland is providing insight and data to our ongoing Europe-wide research on best practice to deter cycle theft. LCC has been campaigning for better prevention and enforcement of bike theft for decades. #bikesecurity #bikeindustry #cycling #theft ABUS Security Tech Germany ABUS UK & Ireland https://lnkd.in/ejae9zFw
