Campaigning for safer roads
LCC works to improve conditions for cyclists on all London’s roads (except where cycles are banned, e.g. on motorways). We have seen some improvements in recent years, but there is still plenty to do. Click on the list below for a summary of the issues involved.
Road skills
Cycling in London is safe, but it’s important that novice and veteran alike work on developing their road skills.
Cycle helmets
Some of the arguments for and against bicycle helmets ... and some tips on fitting a helmet if you do decide to wear one.
Potholes and other hazards
A maintenance issue and a particular hazard for cyclists.
Conflicts between cyclists and others
Good highway design is needed, but so is respect for other people.
Reducing traffic speeds
The 'standard' speed limit should be 20mph instead of 30mph.
