Never more than a bicycle ride away from being in a good mood. Cycling benefits everyone in a city, regardless of whether they ride. http://bikery.bsky.social
I'm going to try a little experiment. It's just gone 9:00am, London and parts of southern England are under an "Amber" weather warning, let's how long it takes for the sewage dumping to start and how it progresses over the next few hours. Oh look, it's only been raining for a…
People going about their days on foot shouldn’t need the instincts of a hunted gazelle to survive. The onus is on drivers to not run them over.
The majority of pedestrians have absolutely no situational awareness anywhere, from leaving their homes to milling around shopping centres like extras in a zombie movie. Wearing earbuds cannot be helpful in keeping them safe.
Ouch!
TODAY IN THE TOUR DE FRANCE: Tourmalet, Col d’Aspin and Peyresourde before the 12.6 km ascent to Luchon-Superbagnères. Over 5000 meters of climbing awaits the riders! #queenstage #brutal #Pyrenees
This is still a close-pass. Even when the vehicle the driver is passing is oncoming. And a failure to give way to oncoming vehicles before overtaking parked cars. Shouting and gesticulating at the cyclist doesn't change that. Hopefully the police action will help them understand.
The message this sends about the consequences of speeding / road danger is simply appalling. It says: ✖️ Don’t worry about breaking the same law 4 times in 3 years - we will just ‘slap your hand’ (ie a 14 day ban when Parliament is shut - isn’t the tariff at least a 6 month…
Brilliant to join up with @AirRosendale on last Friday’s glorious #bikebus. Hundreds of children cycle to school in West Dulwich facing close passes and road danger every day. These children deserve their bike lane - @WestDulwichLab please don’t keep them waiting! #cycling
I can’t feel much sympathy for someone who uses a handheld phone while driving.

Have you got footage of dangerous driving on the roads of West Yorkshire? Make sure you submit it to West Yorkshire Police! Action was taken against this driver after another road user sent the video in. Visit westyorkshire.police.uk/SaferRoadsSubm…

Someone who should never drive again…but we all know he will.

Halve crime . . . but ramp up total environmental collapse and ecological disaster . The ‘Emeritus Professor of Climate Science Richard Tice . F I , Tot L , Dis B , T’ says that they are ‘coming for those in renewables’ . It’s pretty simple - they are going to try and kill us all
I’ve been saying this for years!
Nobody exceeds the speed limit by accident. It’s always intentional. We all proved we know better when we were tested. Nobody drives too closely by accident. We all proved we knew better when we were tested. Collisions are common. Almost all result from bad driving decisions.
This is the case in many European cities. Ppl on bikes can either turn on red, depending on junction type, or are released 5s earlier than motor vehicle drivers. Study after study has shown this reduces conflict & collisions. The U.K. as usual lags behind best practice elsewhere.
Well from the way that post of mine has resonated today, it sure seems time to sort out the railways - make it simple, have people in ticket offices, and by the sounds of it according to a lot of people, Nationalise them again …
Red lights should be revised to be giveaways for cyclists or there add separate cycling lights which release cyclists prior to motor vehicles. Great to get empathy from @edballs for proportionate evidence based policing of drivers/cyclists. youtube.com/watch?v=kXudbq…
