planning, pavements & parks: the reality of family cycling

On the 4th September Spoke Out organised Derby’s first Kidical Mass event. Kidical Mass is an international movement of cycle rides for families to highlight the fact that cycling in cities needs to be safe enough for children to cycle on the roads.

Last week Hackney Council announced the closure of Stoke Newington Church Street to through traffic during the day time. I spent over two years living in a flat on this busy and polluted road in what is an otherwise lovely area of London. Instead of just closing the street to through traffic, they are also introducing five filters to avoid simply redirecting cars elsewhere.
