we need to hold a televised debate on this subject alone. showing the consequences of failing global food production. A national emergency broadcast or similar. oh hang on..
This explains the problem, that I as a driver don't think about until I as a cycle commuter am forced to by those unthinking drivers. If only drivers could be shown what it feels like to be close passed.
While #autobesitas makes our cars bigger and bigger, our street space remains fixed. Guess who pays the price.
(comparing popular cars on same scale by @baoigheallain)
The Motor cyclist has been stung by our cycle team.
If you ride non-compliant e-bikes in the City, we will seize them and they will be destroyed.
Safer City Streets means clamping down on anti-social Motor Cycling.
Get it right boys!

This - from the Private Eye's Eco Chamber/Wilbur - requires no explanation
Pay attention @andyburnham.bsky.social

Bbc #Wato just did a whole item on the Thames barrier needing replacing early… without once mentioning the >reason< why!: ie Without mentioning human caused climate chaos / sea-level rise.
In the middle of this summer of extreme climate impacts, that’s a stunning fail.

′′ Le vélo est la mort lente de la planète ".
Un banquier a fait réfléchir les économistes quand il a déclaré : ′′
Un cycliste est une catastrophe pour l'économie du pays :
il n'achète pas de voitures et n'emprunte pas d'argent pour l'acheter.
Il ne paie pas les polices d'assurance.
N'achète pas de carburant, ne paie pas pour la révision et les réparations nécessaires de la voiture.
N 'utilise pas de parking payant.
Il ne provoque pas d'accidents majeurs.
Ne nécessite pas d'autoroutes multiples.
Il ne devient pas obèse.
Les gens en bonne santé ne sont pas nécessaires ou utiles à l'économie.
Ils n'achètent pas de médicaments, ils ne vont pas dans les hôpitaux ou chez les médecins, ils n'ajoutent rien au PIB du pays.
Tandis que chaque nouveau magasin McDonald' s crée au moins :
30 emplois,
dont 10 cardiologues,
10 dentistes,
10 experts en régime alimentaire et nutritionnistes,
ainsi que les personnes qui travaillent dans le magasin lui-même, évidemment ".
Choisissez donc avec attention : un vélo ou un Mc Donald ?
Ça vaut la peine d'y penser...
PS : marcher c'est encore pire car les piétons n'achètent même pas de vélo !

Is this the most beautiful finish ever for a cycling race? 😍🇮🇹 Today's stage 2 of Giro della Valle d'Aosta ended at the Bard Fortress and the images from above were stunning. Not gonna lie, I thought it's AI at first.

Another day in the war on motorists.
PENSIONER ON TRICYCLE RUN OVER TWICE BY DRIVERS ONE USING SNAPCHAT BOTH JAILED
Eighty one year old James Lawley was killed on Oxcliffe Road in Morecambe Lancashire on September 21 2025 when first struck by Matthew Isherwood aged 28 who was using Snapchat and Instagram moments before the crash.
The impact threw Lawley into the carriageway where he was then run over by Kevin Dawson aged 64 in a Mercedes who continued driving believing he had hit rubble.
At Preston Crown Court yesterday Isherwood was jailed for five years and two months for causing death by dangerous driving and banned from driving for seven years and seven months.
Dawson received eight months suspended for 20 months for causing death by careless driving plus an electronic curfew and 18 month driving ban.
Detective Sergeant Matt Davidson said the case shows the devastating consequences of using a mobile phone at the wheel.

You get what you invite.
Invite cars everywhere, you get traffic.
Invite cycling, you get people outdoors, moving, connecting, thriving 🚲
Love seeing how popular cycling has become, proof that healthier, greener ways of living are exactly what many want! 💚🚲
Not just restricted to Dulwixh. It's the same everywhere
Replying to @DulwichRoads
Car crashes are a daily occurrence in the area, despite 20mph limits. There is no enforcement of distracted mobile phone drivers:

One of the many reasons why I love Spike Milligan: this response of his to hearing a letter from King Charles (then The Prince of Wales) being read aloud to him at the 1994 British Comedy Awards ceremony.
Wish the Bus driver that tried to squash me this morning would see this and realize how it's done. I bet when he saw my @passpixi he regretted that decision.
