Also in London, Bikes Alive, the cyclists’ direct action campaign, announced a ‘spring defensive’ to protect cyclists and pedestrians on the capital’s roads.
Cycling has become a major issue, partly because of a cycling safety campaign by The Times newspaper, begun after a Times reporter was nearly killed by a lorry while cycling in November.
As PN went to press, on 26 March, Bikes Alive were attempting once again to enforce a one-hour traffic go-slow (6pm-7pm) outside Kings Cross station.
Bikes Alive also announced a joint action with Climate Rush at 6pm on 19 April in Smith Square, to spring-clean a road through nonviolent direct action:
