LBN Cycling Strategy
Approved at Cabinet this week:
Cycling in Newham
We have prepared a paper on Cycling in Newham. It starts with evidence to show that Newham lags behind other boroughs in reducing traffic accidents and public health; and its long recognised high potential for cycling has not been realised.
It seeks the adoption of an effective cycle strategy to underpin a coherent approach – giving priority to walking and cycling over motor traffic.
The paper provides examples where past and current deficiencies in this regard have exacerbated our road safety and health problems.

Bike stall success
We had a great day on Saturday at Woodgrange Market, helping a number of people of all ages and from all backgrounds get their bikes back on the road. One of our favourite visitors was Jan who had not ridden her bike for 4 years and wanted to get back on it. She had a lovely dutch Gazelle bike which had a flat tyre & needed some general TLC. We helped her replace the inner tube & get the wheel back on her bike. She was spotted riding around Forest Gate the next day!
Our aim is to teach as many people as possible – especially women – to deal with basic problems, in particular fixing a puncture!
A few weeks ago, Woman’s Hour had a whole feature on cycling including this great video with Jenni from London Bike Kitchen which does just that, with some great tips & tricks!
Our next stall is on Saturday 10th June – see you there!
