The cycle lane was part of a £1.7m TfL-funded scheme aimed at reducing deaths and serious injuries by 2041. However, it doesn’t exactly feel like a safer route when there’s an advertising console placed right in the middle of it...

I would like to give up driving. This is one of my regular trips comparing car to public transport fastest option. I have included cycling although the route is entirely on 60mph roads and absolutely horrendous (not an option for me)

Oil goes up, Trump says something, Oil goes down, Trump says the opposite something, Oil goes up Trump doesn't care about the Iranian people or the American people, he's just playing the markets and making money

There are many widely available health & wellness apps that will remind you to periodically get up from your desk and walk around but I can personally recommend my own low-tech method which is to continuously drink ungodly amounts of tea.

'The sheriff imposed a community payback order with 240 hours of unpaid work and a three-year driving ban' Guess what this sentence is for It's for pulling out and killing a motorcyclist

Inflation falling does not mean prices going down.

I need some computer nerdy advice. I downloaded Nord VPN and since then the number of phishing attempts on two of my three emails have increased. I have had more attempts in the last 24hrs than in the last five years. I thought it was supposed to stop that not encourage it.

BWC London 2026 Cancelled! 'We’re sorry to announce that due to emergency building works affecting the BWC London course and village, the event will not be taking place from 19–21 June. ' #Brompton #BWCLondon2026

Don't Drink Don't Smoke Eat Healthy Exercise Regularly But most importantly ... stop being poor

Supporting an invading murderous dictator is amoral. Supporting climate destruction is STUPID. So of course that is what HMG does. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I have only once used the main rear pockets on a cycling jersey. My phone got covered in sweat. Honestly, I just don't get it. I go get the little one with the zip for your door key though

You can thank me for this - I just ordered some long trousers because I am fed up with cold knees in my shorts

PPE is the sign that everything else has failed Writing for the Telegraph is a sign that your moral compass has gone with it.

Some people can't do maths... 6% price rise is what it says in the email. Just under 300% is the actual bill.... Subscription cancelled - please suggest RAW editors that are NOT American products and not GIMP

LESS THAN 1% OF DEATH DRIVERS LOSE THEIR LICENCE FOR LIFE READ THAT AGAIN

My bestie texted and asked what i was doing today, this was my reply Mornings I am never up to anything My anxiety has reached proportions so large i cannot leave the house. I manage to walk (dogs name) because his needs outweigh mine. I am hyper vigilant the whole time. 1/2

Car bloat

Many people will be feeling utterly betrayed and disgusted with the Labour government latest u-turn where instead of supporting Ukraine they are sucking up to Trump and Putin If you don’t want to buy Russian oil stop driving fossil fuel cars, in fact go one better and punish Labour by cycling

As Marx* said: "Those are my principles, and if you don’t like them…well, I have others." Disgraceful from Labour. *Groucho www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ferry to Amsterdam £310 each way, plus train to Newcastle (£669 in total) Flight from Edinburgh Airport £217 return This is why we have a global heating crisis. Perhaps the US-Israel v Iran war will change things, although ferries use fuel so they will go up too

Without beliefs in mythical beings we would not have religious hate

the answer to the "is e-biking really biking?" debate is "who cares"

Big Oil executives knew decades ago that "catastrophic" climate change was coming. Instead of sharing that knowledge, they buried it. "By the time the global warming becomes detectable it could be too late to take effective countermeasures to reduce the effects or even to stabilise the situation."

Earlier I was mentally in a very dark place. Dog presented me with a cycling glove he’d carefully and silently lifted from the helmet on the bookshelf Dog has the right ideas in life I didn’t go on a cycle ride but i planned one, and now I have something to look forward to.

The only problem that AI is actually designed to solve is wages Whilst it does that it will increase fossil fuel consumption and emissions, increasing global heating Eventually, all that will be left is a bunch of AI datacentres arguing about who started it

Drove (yes, I do that) to my in-laws last night. 3 miles, 9 minutes. Had one guy drive up the side of me at the roundabout entry and overtake me on the roundabout before slamming his brakes on to get between me and the car in front. Had a woman beep me for letting another driver out of a junction.

So protesters against genocide are terrorists and protesters promoting racism, hate, and the theory of that horrible Yaxley-Lennon creature are perfectly okay...we got the measure of where the Government is. It's not good.

Wonderful!

This is me peering at the news most mornings

My @pedalonparliament.org t-shirt has arrived. I ordered the women's oversized one, and yes, it is oversized. It does mean I might even get a light jacket or a jumper under it, and I am all for wearing clothes in new innovative ways. Train is booked and unusually, I even have an idea where I'm going

I have read a lot of books on cycle touring and long distance bike trips (and shorter ones). The thing that I take away from every single one of them is this - - it's YOUR trip - It isn't competition, it isn't about doing something the same as it's been done before, or better. It is about YOU.

These assholes are okay with Planatir taking all of our personal data but they have a problem with China's cars? Give me a fucking break.

“Man, 26, dies after bullets hit a group of pedestrian in Arnold” That sounds stupid doesn’t it? Yet every time a driver uses a vehicle to kill people, this is the type of crap we’re served up by our media. They even name the driver who has been charged with murder in paragraph 4.

Telegraph misspells Drivers again

New York subway rule: dogs can only travel if they go "in a bag." New Yorkers took it very seriously... and became incredibly creative. 🐶

THIS!!! ⤵️

Fitted a H&H G line stem mount ball today. Reduced the width of the folded bike by approximately an inch. Makes a big difference if you want to get it under your desk at work or between back to back seats on the train

Whatever the question is, Streeting is definitely not the answer #InBedWithTech #SaveOurNHS #RedTories

One of the simplest things that could be done to increase active travel is letting people know that paths exist. I cannot tell you how many time i have driven past new paths and gone ‘I didn’t know that was there’ or spotted one from the train and said the same. Build it and tell people its there!

If you’re more interested in Dr Q Manivannan’s visa status than 17 fascist MSPs in Parliament, that tells me a lot about you.

Everybody agreeing the Nazis are the bad guys.

Being back working from home for those who can. It makes life easier for those who can’t, makes roads safer for walking, wheeling and cycling, improves air quality and reduces pollution. It even allows children to play outside. Why doesn’t government support that? Because they lose tax revenue.

Here, a friend demonstrates that attaching a bicycle stand to block paving has some pitfalls.

Toxic air is linked to cognitive decline + increased risk of dementia. Now a new report from HAC colleagues @alzheimersresearchuk.org says the government should lead a national dementia risk reduction campaign, with air pollution recognised as a risk factor. 🔗https://bit.ly/4tkCmin #AirPollution
