i love her make her president

I'd find it hard to look for worse people than trump and his friends but here we go.

A while back, a man in his 70s looked at my bike skeptically. "Why do your ride it?" When I said "saves money," "doesn't pollute," he scoffed. But he agreed when he said it was good for my health. I forgot to tell him real reason: Joy. Day in, day out, my bike makes me happy. 🧵

"What's with all the wires and pots in ohhhhhhh"

Slurry seems to be the hardest word

Cyclists wearing hi vis doesn't significantly improve rider safety for much the same reason that training dogs not to eat homework wouldn't achieve significantly more homework getting handed in.

The cure to male loneliness is NOT BEING A CUNT.

Scientists have discovered a tiny blue octopus lurking beneath the waters near the Galápagos Islands. About the size of a golf ball, the newly identified deep-sea species was found nearly 1,800 meters below the surface during an expedition in the Pacific Ocean.

dramatic response to the climate-fuelled heatwave, but OK

Cripes! I am not made for this heat. Less than 50 miles, completely flat, absolutely shattered. That's really taken it out of me.

One day, I booked the day off in advance, ordered a game (RDR2), cycled down to the shop to pick it up, bought lots of snacks, cycled home, spent all day playing it. Best day ever. No regrets.

If all you want to do on your day off is play video games, that's a perfect day & let no one shame you for it! So naive when ppl look at others wrong because that's what they did on their free time. Gaming is a form of self-care & someone not understanding that is their loss.

I can't claim my EV is this fast to charge and it's certainly not one of fastest mainstream charging cars out there but on service station 55kw fast chargers. I can literally go to the bathroom, get a cup of tea and it's back on 90% In a few years, it'll be seconds. www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/n...

So. What did you do on the hottest mayday of the year, ever? Well, I emptied a house of furniture and took it all to the tip. Yeah, that was a bad plan. Slightly sweaty now. I need to hydrate. Luckily I have beer in the fridge.

It's important that we understand the root cause of traffic congestion! #Motonormativity Via @davewalker.bsky.social

Richest man on the planet getting involved in British local politics. Why would he do that? If you still don't think this is part of a global, orchestrated movement to bring 'right' power and capitalist supremacy, then you really need to open your eyes.

Amazing this is written on a road with 1 lane for bikes and 3+ lanes for cars

Very quietly, govt ends badger cull in England yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/environ...

Nice collision of the headline from one story and a picture from another on The Times website.

Adjudicated rapist says what?

Reposting for the whole photo. 🤩

A very yummy, 79! year old felicity kendal saying you can't say someone looks yummy any more. Looks amazing, has become awful.

"Why did I put myself through the pain of going to court, going through a trial, reliving everything...It sort of gave me the sense of what's the point?" This is a failed justice system. One that has functionally legalised most sex offenses due to the negligible chances of justice being served.

It's a moral panic. Sometimes ebikes are annoying, meanwhile what are cars up to:

I remember once suggesting this as a joke. And yet, here we are....

This is just awesome, isn't it?! 😍 And the petrol station photo is brilliant, wish I'd have seen this in person (it's my local one)

Longest ride for over a year. If I'd done 75, it would be my longest ride for over 2 years. I thought my big days out were done but that's a huge confidence booster. I reckon I can get back to 150 miles days now. Still feel super fresh.

Musk should be strapped into a chair and forced to take an IQ test. He'll get 56 or something. Then the result should be transmitted ro all right wing media news outlets.

imagine if all those people were in cars. now when you see traffic, imagine if all those people were on bikes.

I mean, it's not phantom My shortened name is Jon. No H. And yet people who are apparently national leaders in this country, STILL put an H in there. WTF????

Hope everyone doing this incredibly mad thing (including my son), has a great day tomorrow. 😬😬😬 www.isleofjurafellrace.co.uk

Yet there you are, outside.

In todays 'most disingenuous post on e-bikes' awards, we have WiganToday claiming a kid rode dangerously on a bike similar to this. www.wigantoday.net/news/courts/...

Blimey. www.forbes.com/sites/tylerr...

Tomato and mushroom pasta with homemade red wine sauce, tiger bread with home made butter. Absolutely scrum!

The private car is an inefficient mode of transport in urban areas. Behold the hospital car park outside our office

Well this is a potentially positive move. No idea who would get in and improve things in the middle east but it can't get any worse, can it? www.msn.com/en-gb/news/u...

Turns out that Reform’s “plucky plumber” has “fascist friends.” www.thetimes.com/article/ff1e...

Oh look, Russia has benefited from this. Wonder how that happened?

I'm absolutely delighted that Cabinet has agreed to pilot a locally-led filtered Quiet Lanes policy to improve rural active travel. It's innovative and I'm so proud of my role in it alongside others. Do share, AT policy enthusiasts (short thread) mycouncil.oxfordshire.gov.uk/%28S%2803u25...

I pulled CPD ticketing counts for select standing/moving violations after seeing frequent phone usage. The tickets issued have plummeted since 2019 (⬇️83%) for this reckless behavior. Bike lane obstruction has remained low and flat (Bike Lane Uprising collects many more/year). 2X parking increased.

And their boomer parents will probably spend all their money on care, so nobody will be getting chunky inheritances to cover the shortfall 😬😬

So much about this has me screaming into my motonormativity cushion. Why further subsidise all the wealthy people who drive? Why NOT subsidise the poorer people who don't drive?

The Welsh 20mph default is arguably the most successful road safety initiative this century. Winning international road safety awards, reducing casualties by 26% and insurance premiums. Yes, more should have been spent on engagement, but its a winning policy. www.20splenty.org/wales-pma-20mph

Furthermore, we need to kill the idea that exercise should be kept separate from everyday life.

Uhhh just let me say as someone who used to work in branch banking: DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE CHATGPT ACCESS TO YOUR FUCKING BANK RECORDS This is a TERRIBLE IDEA
