Now can we please have enforced speed limits for the other 49 weeks of the year?

Hello Tynwald

🚲 🇮🇲

🇮🇲 🚲 How to beat the traffic on a spring morning:

Hey Tynwald, wanna take some steps to improve the Island’s energy security? Build some bike lanes…. Promote cycle tourism! Bring back 20mph….. 🇮🇲 🚲

🇮🇲 SUV Island. Potholed roads. Coincidence? We think not. Build cycle routes! 🚲 🇮🇲

❤️🚲🇮🇲

Hooray. One of our very few protected bike/walk spaces freed from the tyranny of the automobile!

We need a vehicle weight tax. If you can justify buying an $80k, 3,000 kg Wagoneer to haul one bag of groceries, taxpayers shouldn't be subsidizing your pavement wear and tear plus the added danger to our streets. If you can afford the payments, you can afford to stop asking society to subsidize it.

Or…ride a bicycle.

Item 0. Facilitate bicycle use!! 🚲 🇮🇲

Lovely spring day to ebike to work. 15 minutes slower than driving 14 miles. Infinitely nicer and better for you. 🇮🇲 🚲

Paris is nice. They’ve got rid of all the fucking cars. We should do that

there were a couple of cars stopped further on, looking at the same view. - taking photos through the windscreen. Whatever you do don’t the exit the car!! 😆 #carbrain

Lovely sunset over the Mountains of Mourne tonight 🚲 🇮🇲

It’s well known of course that electricity doesn’t work over here which must be why the Isle of Man is 🇮🇲still “testing” some hybrids?

As ever, the morning choice: commute by bike, or inside your metal box? 🇮🇲🚲

If only we had some. 🇮🇲 🚲

Hello @christhomasiom.bsky.social 🇮🇲 🚲

Walking round Douglas after the snow it is clearly apparent that roads are well gritted for car safety. Pavements? Nah. You’re walking? Good luck.

Cycling to work this morning under clear skies, with the moon rising in the east and Jupiter setting in the west i was musing on how today's post should be something poetic. Then…. 1/3

🇮🇲 🚲 Diary: Tuesday 10th Dec Commute to work - 14 miles: dep 07:54 Mode: Car Journey time: 40 minutes Commute home: 17:07 Mode: ebike Journey time: 49 minutes

Would be nice to see IOM Govt commit ANYTHING to cycling infrastructure…. 🇮🇲🚲

@michellehaywood.bsky.social 🚲🚲🚲

I understand the IOM Govt 🇮🇲 is a bit short of money. “One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss” We therefore expect to see all our elected representatives in favour of real investment in cycle infrastructure. grist.org/biking/one-m...

Good to see the Sea Terminal bike racks getting plenty of use. Though no one seems to have told the riders that no one wants to cycle in the winter….

Autumnal views through West Baldwin from one of our supporters’ commutes last week Sure beats staring at car exhausts from inside a metal box….

If you build it, people will come!

It’s time for a Revolution! Who are we? Just some Manx people who want…. What do we want? It’s high time the Island invested in dedicated cycle infrastructure that is; - separated and protected from cars - end to end, networked, and - facilitated with whole community support (1/2)
