West London ride
Usual 3.5 hour easy ride. Leader Jane. Start/finish at Emma Cons Garden, small piazza opposite the Old Vic. Out via Lambeth Bridge, back via Albert Bridge and Battersea Park. Many points of interest: Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, Kensington Palace, Albert Memorial, etc. Sorry, under 16s must bring a responsible adult with them.

Our review found that just 4 collisions took place at bus-stops between cyclists and pedestrians from 2020-22 - none on the crossing.
For context, over 11,400 pedestrians and 15,000 cyclists were injured in collisions with motor vehicles in the same period.
I have no problems with a law on death by dangerous cycling – everyone must obey the rules of the road.
But in 2022, 1760+ people were killed on UK roads – 3 involved someone being hit by a bike.
What’s the gov plan for stopping 5 people being killed a day by motor vehicles?
Support for active travel ... more trees / green space; more accessible pavements; less traffic; better lighting; traffic calming; segregated cycling; cycle hangars and pedestrian crossings.
