If you're asking me to use a shared path that forces me to stop at every junction, you'll find me on the road.

1/2 @EalingCouncil @willnorman @IsSaddleThereIs Ealing Council have created a new shared path on Park Royal Road. This is what they have created. A flood and an uneven puddle ridden path and they have removed the northbound cycle lane making it more dangerous for cyclists.

Safest roads in the world? We have 5 people a day die on our roads. In London that’s 110 a year. More than all knife killings. More than all homicides put together. We have near zero active police enforcement on roads apart from fixed cameras. The police do not uphold the law.

🚨 WATCH: Undercover footage of Nigel Farage's close aide shows Farage was not supposed to say the £5m gift was for Brexit "That was not the line to take from the press office. So now the line is 'a thank you for Brexit, to pay for his security for the rest of his life'..."

Let’s try this in cars next, yea? We can invite @NFBUK too - they will still say the Limebike one is still the most dangerous of the two.
Only in London! 😂 Hundreds of people gathered at London Fields on Saturday evening to watch two men dressed as medieval knights jousting on e-bikes. The event was organised by east London artists Jack Carden and Camtholomew the First, who reportedly advertised it as a joke before it unexpectedly took off. #London #LondonFields #EastLondon

“If she was my daughter, it would still be bath night on a Thursday. I'll wash you properly this time.” This was the sickening comment made by a Reform councillor in Birmingham. I spoke to BBC Midlands 👇🏽

Such concern over road safety from a Lib Dem. Can anyone remember which year the Conservatives entered into a coalition government with the Lib Dems & the impact on UK road fatalities? (Note that deaths arising from bike/ped collisions aren't even a rounding error in the data).
I actually admire good cyclists. Unfortunately the bad ones - especially Lime-bikers & heavy delivery e-‘bikes’ which are really motorbikes - are now the majority & are out of control in a display of normalised unchecked lawlessness in London

Not like they did loads of consultations on this is it? Where they asked the public for their opinion and laid out the plans. Why are you so disingenuous? This isn’t an overnight surprise that you’re making it out to be.
We were at Oxford Street today, one week out from it being pedestrianised 🚶 We were disappointed by how little information there was. Nothing in Bond Street or Oxford Circus stations, and very little at bus stops Passengers deserve more than this. @TfL do better #OxfordStreet

Even @BMW knows the right answer.
What do you think is the best way to get around town and still do our part to protect our environments? #WorldEnvironmentDay

Bike lanes cause congestion. Clearly they are the only thing to blame.
Remembering Upper Thames Street towards Victoria Embankment via the Blackfriars underpass in 2001, before the cycle lanes were built and there was no traffic in central London

Probably a requirement of the lease rather than Tesco doing the right thing.

It’s emerged that some of Europe’s biggest fish farmers are now using poultry by-products to feed their salmon. Two seafood suppliers have reportedly already started, and two more are preparing to, prompted by fishmeal prices almost doubling in the past two years. And chicken-fed salmon could soon be part of your weekly shop too. What are the implications around this, and would you eat salmon fed with chicken by-products?

Not in the least. You make up all types of names to dehumanize me, but it doesn’t work. Women matter. Our rights matter. And we care very much about keeping them. You can’t win.

Hay algo que une a varios ganadores del Premio Nobel: la bicicleta. 🚲 Sir Fraser Stoddart, Nobel de Química 2016, tiene en la Universidad Northwestern un lugar de estacionamiento reservado, pero no para un automóvil. George Smith, Nobel de Química 2018, llegó en bicicleta el día que la Universidad de Missouri le entregó su propio estacionamiento. Jacques Dubochet, Nobel de Química 2017, recorre Lausana en dos ruedas. Y Karl Deisseroth, Nobel de Medicina 2026 por su revolucionario trabajo en optogenética, pedaleó hasta su laboratorio en Stanford el día que se dio a conocer su premio. Antes que todos ellos: Albert Einstein decía que sus mejores ideas le llegaban mientras pedaleaba. Marie y Pierre Curie comenzaron su vida juntos en bicicleta y siguieron haciéndolo toda la vida. La bicicleta no distingue entre el laboratorio y la calle. Ni entre el Nobel y el ciclista del barrio. ¿Coincidencia? Tal vez. ¿O será que pedalear libera algo en el cerebro que los escritorios no pueden? Con imágenes de Armando Pliego Ishikawa y la Universidad de Stanford. #Bicitlán #CiclismoUrbano #Nobel #Ciencia #Bicicleta #Reactor105

Watch to see how the Avenues project on Argyle Street between the Hielaman’s Umbrella and the Kingston Bridge has transformed the area, with new trees, rain gardens, benches & cycle lanes, as well as improved pavements & roads – a real difference from what was there before.
