Cyclists of Reddit, we need your support!
In Tower Hamlets, London, we're facing a critical threat to cycling infrastructure. The local mayor plans to destroy:
Our only segregated cycle path Public spaces and pocket parks that have made cycling safer £2 million worth of improvements that reduced air pollution and traffic
Why? Pressure from a car-owning minority (only 30% of residents own cars).
The impact on cyclists will come from increased danger on roads due to the loss of safe cycling routes as well as potential ripple effect across London and beyond

This isn't just a local issue. It sets a dangerous precedent for cycling infrastructure everywhere.
