A quick look at the Lime app shows thats absolute bobbins. There's many bikes available in the village, which means the app allows you to end your ride there and verify its location.

And this one too using the same data: https://crystalroof.co.uk/report/postcode/SE217DE/crime "Annual total crime rate in your local area [se217de] is 43.6crimes per thousand resident population. This can be rated as 2 out of 10 or low crime level compared to other local areas in England and Wales. The address is located within Southwark(borough). Annual total crime rate in Southwarkis 129 per thousand population, which can be rated as 7 out of 10 or high crime level compared to other local authority districts in England and Wales."

Trump percentages - a 100% rise could be from zero to one. And I'm clearly not laughing at crime but at your ridiculous Swiss Cheese argument.

Can we see that credible evidence? For the LTN street crime update: Bounds Green LTN, Haringey: “No indication that crime patterns have been impacted by the LTN.” Canonbury West People-Friendly Streets, Islington: “Negligible change in crime and anti-social-behaviour patterns.” Lewisham & Lee Green LTN, Lewisham: “Street-crime fell inside the LTN while staying flat borough-wide.”

You said there was evidence of street crime increasing in LTNs. I shared 3 independent reports over long time periods that use police data that disproves that. They particularly focused on street crime. i also shared a department for transport independently commissioned report by IPSOS that suggests the same. It's how discussion boards work. In this instance though it's less of a discussion and more perpetual correction of your incorrect statements.

Plus the independent evaluation of the Bounds Green and Islington (Canonbury technically) LTNs that also reported no effect or decreased rates of street crime (published 2024 and 2025 respectively) And the Lewisham & Lee Green Ltn final assessment too reported the same no change or reduction in street crime. Even the IPSOS / DfT LTN Research Report says the same. Its almost like rockets is throwing things, anything against a wall to see what sticks with repeated failures.

Have you tried writing to them and asking? I'm sure they'd be interested in your opinion.

Because probably a period of time has passed and they have released more data / methodology. That's probably not the full report but a longer abstract. You could email them and ask? Look forward to hearing what you get back.

All of that is covered here: https://injuryprevention.bmj.com/content/early/2025/07/17/ip-2024-045571 which is the link in the original article which has been pointed out to you a few times.

Have you emailed the researchers on the link provided above yet?

The answers to that methodology question are helpfully included in the original research link if you can be bothered to look. Or; "Data availability statement Data are available upon reasonable request. All data are available upon request to the authors."

Who cut the central government funding for TfL Jazzer? 2015 if you need a reminder. How many other major European cities aren't subsidised centrally? It's practically zero as they all see public transport as a public good. i assume that you support Khan's pressure to reverse those subsidy cuts to long term, sustainable income?

But if you look at the details of what is being proposed and don't just fall for the clickbait headline, the proposals are to trial some limiting of other types of (non human powered) cycles, not standard cycles. The ones they are looking to limit include cantas (micro cars),"speed pedelecs" (where you need a license, a helmet & number plate), mopeds (as they can use cycle lanes), illegal e-motorcycles and other mobility vehicles. Its not about managing normal cycles and pedestrians. Its about making sure that vehicles with different mass and energy are safe when they use the same cycle space. They will also trial cycling fast lanes and wider Cargo bikes for business use will be moved to the main road, freeing space for other cyclists. They are not looking for a blanket cycle speed limit.

And this is the guardian style guide entry which defines exclusives as "a term used by tabloids to denote a story that is in all of them'?! Even the Press Gazette disagrees with Rockets - and says that first to publish is an 'exclusive'. "Published at the time of release' Basic stuff.
