London’s Walking & Cycling Commissioner Working with the Mayor, TfL & boroughs to build a safer, greener & healthier city. Posts, errors & typos all mine.
@willnorman.co.ukHarry Webb was cycling home when he was killed by a driver using nitrous oxide.
His tragic death shows the devastating consequences of people taking drugs & driving.
I hope that the seriousness of this judgement will deter other offenders in the future.
@willnorman.co.ukWe're working with boroughs across London to expand out network of Cycleways - enabling more people to choose this green, health, cheap & fun way to travel. Good to see progress on construction along Boston Manor Road in @ealingcouncil.bsky.social
@willnorman.co.ukYesterday, I repeated my view that e-bike hire is a mess & doesn't work for anyone.
Since 2017, we've been asking for regulatory powers. This government has listened & is changing the law.
@londonassembly.bsky.social I talked about changes new powers will bring.
@willnorman.co.ukWe've expanded London's network of cycleways to over 450km - and we're not stopping there. Good to see the construction progress on Cycleway 34 on Wood Lane in Hammersmith & Fulham.
@willnorman.co.ukWas pleased to use the new cycle tracks on Shaftsbury Avenue in @camdencouncil.bsky.social this week.
@willnorman.co.ukThe South Leytonstone Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Waltham Forest looks excellent. Early benefits show: 🚗🚗76% reduction in traffic 🚲🚲172% increase in cycling 🚸🚸safer speeds And I love the sustainable drainage & planting 💚☘️🌱🌳🌹🌻🌷
@willnorman.co.ukI always love catching up with Toks from Black Unity Bike Ride
Have a look at their brilliant film celebrating this year's event - 1,400 people enjoying riding through London.
So much joy & massive thanks to all the volunteers.
@willnorman.co.ukReally enjoyed joining @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk this week to learn about Wheels4Me - an amazing inclusive cycle hire project providing adapted cycles for people with disabilities.

@willnorman.co.ukCargo bike use in London is booming - up 126% since 2022.
This week I joined 50 businesses - from Royal Mail to delivery firms, waste companies & tradespeople - to celebrate & raise awareness of this clean, green & economical alternative to diesel vans.
@willnorman.co.ukEnsuring young people adopt safe active travel habits early makes a lasting difference.
That’s why we’ve launched TfL Navigators for 16-18 yr olds - a free programme giving schools & colleges ready-made lessons covering cycling & road safely.
@willnorman.co.ukReposted by @willnorman.co.ukWith success of Cycleway 9 - cycling up 60% & safety improvements for all road users - I'm delighted to launch consultation on further safety improvements from Syon Park to Hounslow Town: with new crossings & cycle lanes.

@willnorman.co.ukToday the Mayor set out his vision for dockless e-bikes in London, with new @TfL powers expected to pave the way for improved regulation and safety 🚲
@willnorman.co.uk👀London's newest section of Cycleway!! This section of the Cycleway 4 extension - between Gallions Rd & Charlton Church Lane - is due to open this week. We've expanded our network of Cycleways from 90km in 2016 to 450+km today. And cycling across the capital is soaring🚲🚲🚲
@willnorman.co.ukDid you know that London is home to over 400,000 students? TfL offers a 25% discount on Santander Cycles to London students - making it one of the cheapest ways to travel around the capital. Great to see the team out talking to new students during freshers week.
@willnorman.co.ukOur public transport and active travel network helps make London one of the best cities in the world.
And we’re keen to expand it to connect more communities.
Have your say on a new Overground route in west London.
@willnorman.co.ukV much enjoyed cycling to @activetraveleng.bsky.social conference on Manchester’s bike lanes this morning. Nice job Dame Sarah Storey!
@willnorman.co.ukTfL offers unlimited cycle hire rides for £10
@willnorman.co.ukCycling is one of the best ways of exploring London - especially now we’ve got over 450km of Cycleways.
To celebrate #WorldCarFreeDay, TfL & Santander are offering half price cycle hire membership 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲
@willnorman.co.ukIt was a pleasure to meet you and v much enjoyed our chat.
