"Cycling Mikey" "No, not Cycling Mikey" "You sure?" "Yeah, there's load of us." "There's loads of you?" "Loads of us, and I'm not Mikey" #HydePark #WestCarriageDrive @cyclingmikey.bsky.social

The Met Police had a number of spreadsheets available to download from their website that showed the status of reports made by the public. Using the link I was given these have disappeared. I've tried searching using various keywords with no success. What keywords should I use, or what is the link?

Just had a Police Officer call me about a driver that I reported last month. He might want to call round and take a face to face statement. They're not treating it as a motoring offence, but as a road rage offence.

For only the second time I've reported a driver for a Public Order offence, as opposed to a driving offence. Aggressive middle aged driver with little man syndrome gets out of his car swears in front of children but backs off when he sees my helmet camera.

The full video has now landed, and it doesn't disappoint. Another excellent production from #MoreThanACyclist youtu.be/VTFpKgsKPxs?...

I thought that they didn't offer retraining courses for mobile phone offences. Looks like either three crept through or the Met has made a mistake on their Jan 2023 - June 2025 spreadsheet.

Farewell X/Twitter. I'm keeping my account open, but don't intend posting there again.

Apparently I'm an adult 😂

Does the NHS suffer a lot from patients not turning up to appointments? Over the past year or so, I've made a number of visits to the doctors, hospital and clinics. I used to get maybe one reminder, but now I get several by email, text and phone call.

I went to Court today for a driver that I had reported for using a mobile phone whilst driving, they were composing an email. They pleaded guilty, so I wasn't called as a witness in the end. The clerk of the Court collected me from the witness room so that I could observe the sentencing.

I'm very passionate about road safety after being run over at the age of 11 by a red light jumping motorcyclist, my wife being the victim of a hit and run driver and me needing life saving surgery following a collision with a left hooking motorist.

I've just had a NIP email for a mobile phone user that I reported on Monday. Whilst very few reports go to Court, and it's a pain to attend if it does, I'm secretly hoping that it does end up there. When I caught them using their phone they told me to f*** off twice.

Proof that the Police DO prosecute cyclists for breaking the law. This is a Court listing for Lavender Hill Magistrates Court this week.

36 years ago Mrs Met was knocked off her bike by a hit and run driver whilst cycling from Croydon to Brighton. She was knocked unconscious and damaged her knee, which she still suffers from to this day. She has never ridden a bike on the road since.

Had this email from Swiftaid, is it likely to be genuine?

Question for any HGV drivers out there. If the job centre funds your training to get a licence (7.5T) is the job worth it anymore? (Not for me, I'm happy where I am)

There's a website that debunks internet chain letters. I can't remember what it's called. Something like Scopes or Scooped.

Help needed. I've got a few websites that I've not touched for well over ten years. I built them offline using FrontPage but that's no longer compatible with W11. Are there any programs I can use, that does the same job, that will work on W11?

What's the point of banking l driving bans when we have motorists with this attitude? www.facebook.com/share/v/1GoS...

"Leave at least 1.5 metres when overtaking cyclists at speeds of up to 30mph, and give them more space when overtaking at higher speeds" "Move back to the left as soon as you can but do not cut in" Clearly a motorist when he's not riding a bike.

Just had a Court Warning email for Lavender Hill Magistrates Court in July for a mobile phone offender. I didn't receive the standard 'Dates to Avoid' email and have a work conference that day that I now can't attend. I'm not disappointed, other than missing out on the free food and drink after.

I've given up with the plans for the Hero 9 and dug out my retired Session 4, which means settling for 1080 at 50fps.

I have a GoPro Hero 9 and want to be able to charge it whilst recording. I'm sure that I've done it in the past, but it's not working now. Any idea how I can get it to work again?

I've just done a firmware update on my Giant FastRoad E+ EX Pro and now the speed sensor linking to my Garmin Edge 1030 is showing less than half the speed and distance travelled. A ride of about 12 miles is only showing 4.22 miles. Anyone got an idea as to why and how to fix it?

I've seen this on buses and lorries, but this is the first time that I've noticed a door camera instead of a door mirror on a car. Audi E-Tron

Driver charged with "Drive a mechanically propelled vehicle on a road / in a public place without due care and attention". After 23 minutes deliberation the magistrates found him Not Guilty. Video to follow soon.

Watching Judith Keppel's win on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, I noticed this question. 1. (Without looking it up) What's the answer? 2. What's wrong with the question?

I need your help please. I'm in Court next week as a witness in a 'Without Due Care and Attention' case. There were cars parked on one side of the road which meant to get past them I had to go on the opposite side of the road.

Over the past 18 months the number of people that I have seen on handheld video calls whilst driving has increased dramatically. "Put your phone down" before you kill someone. #FatalFour youtu.be/DA7FGmaUoJY

I went to Court earlier this month for a driver that was prosecuted under the mobile phone legislation. They were found guilty, fined and given points. They've made an application for an appeal, so I have to attend Court again.

The view from the office today.

Serious question. If you attended a school production and one of the songs was a Gary Glitter song, would you complain?

When is the next bus due?

I arrived at Court five hours ago as a witness in a mobile phone offence. The morning's session has overrun and things are due to resume at 2:15. It sounds like the driver is now going to change their plea to guilty, so l won't be needed. I guess their solicitor advised them to. A day wasted.

You never know who might be watching you, so it's not a good idea to be using your phone whilst driving.

This is one reason that I have no hesitation whatsoever reporting drivers that I see using their mobile phone whilst they are driving, whether they are stationary or not. #FatalFour x.com/NorfolkPolic...

Today I spent just over three and three quarter hours in Court. I was there as a witness in relation to a mobile phone offence. Why was I there for so long? The defendant failed to show up. As a result, instead of a £200 fine, it cost them £734.

Eating Pie and Mash is on my bucket list, I've never had one before. I'll be in Tooting in the near future and will go to either Harringtons in Tooting or Manzes in Sutton on the way home. Which of the two would you recommend? Both have good and bad reviews on Google.

I haven't bothered repairing inner tubes for years, but recently bought these pre-glued patches. Easy to use and apply, BUT half of them don't stay put. They seem okay as a get you home measure, but not permanent. Can you recommend any other pre-glued ones that actually work?

A week ago I was in a pub with some friends and one of them ordered a toasted sandwich and chips. Instead of putting salt and vinegar on his chips, he put pepper and vinegar. First time I've seen that, might try that next time I have chips.

Took my @ternbicycles.bsky.social BYB on the train for a ride in London and stopped off in Hyde Park for a coffee. On the train back home now.

On Friday I'll be taking my n+1 on the train to London for a gentle pootle and explore of the cycle ways I've not ridden before.

Yesterday I picked up n+2 from my LBS, making it ten bikes that I've bought from them. I've still got eight of them, sold one and wrote off the other. I did consider getting Bromptons, but I got these two Terns for the same price as one Brompton. Plus folding and the test ride sold them to me.

If your helmet cam or dash cam includes the date and time in the footage, don't forget to change the setting back to GMT. The Met Police won't accept reports where the time is incorrect.

This week I had to attend Court, as a witness, for an Inconsiderate Driving incident. I will be publishing a video, but I've got to take a long hard think about how to edit it and what information to include. Vulnerable adult isn't the correct term, but is close.

I want to try cycling some Strava Art. What's the best way to plan out a journey? Google Maps or using Strava on my laptop? Or even a mixture of the two?
