Webinars and Reports

Our survey on What Stops Women Cycling in London? found that many women don’t report incidents they encounter when cycling, like harassment, threats or dangerous driving, to the police.  This webinar looks address how to feel equipped and empowered to report crimes as they occur, and to know when a crime has been committed.

The webinar answers questions like, What’s the point in reporting? When is sexual harassment a crime? How can I report in the most effective way? Do I need a helmet cam? How can I keep myself safe in a threatening situation?

This webinar is for everyone, but as it includes reporting gendered abuse and harassment it is especially useful for women and their allies.

Which boroughs are taking action? Which boroughs need to do more?

LCC is part of a coalition who review London borough actions for sustainable travel against the Mayor’s Transport Strategy to help councils and residents understand how well or badly they are doing. We have been reviewing boroughs every year since 2020.

2024 Healthy Streets Scorecard

Healthy Streets Scorecard Coalition: Action Vision Zero | CPRE London | Future Transport London | London Cycling Campaign | London Living Streets | Possible | Roadpeace | Sustrans London | Wheels for Wellbeing

In London, less than 1 in 3 cycle trips are made by women. The LCC Women’s Network surveyed over 1,000 women in London to ask what barriers prevent them from cycling.

2024 – ‘What Stops Women Cycling in London?’ – results of the survey and recommendations for the Mayor, Transport for London and London boroughs to overcome these barriers.

Junctions are where nearly all serious and fatal collisions impacting those walking, cycling and wheeling happen.

2021 – Micromobility Parking: Literature Review – more cycles, cargo bikes and e-scooters on our streets are causing a shortage of parking spaces for these ‘micromobilities.’ Our research suggests parking must double rapidly based on rising cycling levels and the roll-out of e-scooter hire trials.

2020 Report: How To Talk To People About The Future Of Their Streets

People say they want to tackle climate change but when it comes down to the proposed cycle track at the end of our street, the low traffic neighbourhood where we live, people oppose schemes – loudly and angrily. Resident pushback all too often sees council officers left with weakened or cancelled schemes. What skills are needed to engage and what techniques are available?

We partner with Urban Movement to deliver a guide for councils, officers and urban practitioners to rethink public engagement, better avoid backlash and deliver better streets for all. Also useful for cycle and active travel campaigners to understand how they can work with their community and local government.
