The London Cycling Campaign has published its annual Climate Safe Streets Boroughs report, analysing the "gulf between boroughs on active travel and car use reduction scheme delivery".

The headlines:

• Hackney tops the list, with Camden, Waltham Forest and Lambeth close behind on delivery in "current term and mode shift away from private motor vehicles prior to pandemic".
• Tower Hamlets is the "only London borough that has seen mode shift towards private motor vehicles prior to the pandemic". Bromley, Hillingdon and Bexley also sit at the bottom of the delivery league table.
• "The Mayor of London is broadly on track for his 'Vision Zero' commitment to eliminate serious and fatal road collisions on London's streets by 2041 (based on his trajectory pre-pandemic) but behind on delivering his 'Net Zero' climate commitment as it relates to roads transport. To achieve it, he'll need to reduce car use more than seen during 2020 – the year of heaviest Covid lockdowns".

This bike-riding heckler stole the show at a Patriot Front march in Washington DC. Author and photographer Joe Flood was seen interrupting the white supremacist group's speech on Saturday, with such hard-hitting insults as... "Your mum [we refuse to write mom] hates you"... "Your friends hate you"... "You're sloppy"...

"This guy was giving this speech," Mr Flood told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow show. "He kept having to stop and pull it out of his pocket and then start reading it. So, every time he stopped, I would yell at him and say he was boring. And then I said, 'Why can't you memorise your speech? Why can't you memorise your speech?'.

"And then I said, 'You look like Gen Custer's illegitimate son'. The guy side-eyed and looked at me, and I thought, I got you. I got in your head. Now get out of my town."

Eighth, fourth, third... Cav's getting closer to that Giro stage win. The bad news, however, is there might not be many more opportunities — there are probably only two more nailed-on sprint days... and one of them's next weekend in Rome and the other side of a brutal third week.

Speaking after the stage Cav said he was "so proud" of his teammates' efforts...

"We were really motivated for today's stage," he explained. "It was a nice sprint on paper, but it wasn't easy to arrive there… The way we built as a team this Giro we knew if we work together, we get there. Vadim rode the whole day on the front, making an incredible tempo and making sure the break never got too far. And the boys looked after me in the final.

"There was a small kick when another team attacked to try to drop us, but the boys stayed with me. We were just off the pack, but we came back, we stayed together, we straight to the front and set up for the sprint. I was so motivated; the boys rode incredible for me, and I am so proud of them, and I am just sorry I couldn’t finish it off.

"I couldn't change anything else about the sprint. In terms of how the sprint went and how I rode it I just got beaten by, actually, two incredible young riders, Pascal Ackermann and Jonathan Milan. It's not bad boys to be beaten by. So, my congratulations to Pascal."

Following the stage, the Ineos Grenadiers confirmed that Geoghegan Hart was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Genoa, where it was revealed that he had suffered a fractured left hip, which will require surgery.
