If I was Donald Trump I would not be drawing the public’s attention right now to my ability to release files

After watching that, I need a Tylenol.

Yes, the prison sentence is inadequate. But what about the driving ban? Why is this driver ever allowed to get behind the wheel again?! WHY?! 😡😡😡 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I really don't recognise the UK any more... Mind you it looks like there are interesting things going on in Scotland...

Road Casualties data for 2024 in Great Britain published this week: www.gov.uk/government/s... Thanks to @pactsuk.bsky.social, there is an important new chart on the vehicles involved in fatal crashes:

Reform MP backs up Nigel Farage claims that migrants are coming for your birds.

That's me reported this. I almost didn't. Not because it wasn't serious enough (It was and this driver shouldn't be a driver, never mind a taxi driver!), but because it's so time consuming to do here. 25 min telephone wait, and a visit now arranged for Saturday morning. We need online reporting!!

I've noticed that the NHS has now felt the need to use some of its budget to post reassurance on Facebook that paracetamol is safe. Lies have consequences... 😩

We treat the time of people in motor vehicles as a precious commodity that must be conserved at all costs, while the time of people outside of motor vehicles is infinitely expendable.

Love this chalk street art I found along a strip of pavement in the Broomhill area of Glasgow where tree roots have pushed up the surface making it very uneven. Definitely one for the Keep Glasgow Weird folder! #glasgow #streetart #chalkart #broomhill #keepglasgowweird

That thing where a taxi driver tells you he'll 'give you a slap' for daring to tell him not to drive 1m from your rear wheel. You the ask him if that's a threat and his reply is, 'yes that's a threat!'. That escalated quickly. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Each time you think it can't get any crazier, further from reality, downright dangerous and inevitably deadly... They take another leap into the void...

I spotted this driver using their phone just before they set off at traffic lights. Their response, 'Have a lovely day and peace to you'. Yeah, I'd settle for #RoadPeace which would require you not endangering others by using your phone whilst driving... WA13GVD

Comments like this will directly lead to deaths. Of children.

“Cities aren’t noisy, cars are noisy.” As they say. Great to see this happening - at long last - in London. We need more of this for Birmingham.

It was really fascinating spending 5 days in the US talking to people in the biotech sector. It's very clear that the development of new drugs and medical technology has been significantly impacted by US gov policy. Gov funding has vanished, FDA is in turmoil and investor funding has dried up...

When travelling for work it's important to check out the local cycle infrastructure... Not perfect but not bad. Where was I?

Free speech latest

You know things are getting bad when people are celebrating yesterday's far right protest in London, on LinkedIn. When you can clearly see the person's line of work and they comment 'Take back Britain' etc. How did we fall so far so quickly?! 😩

I've got a very busy life at the moment and haven't been paying much attention to the news. Wish I hadn't glanced at it. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤮

All the way down Springburn Road some idiots have put Scotland flags, half mast, on all the lampposts. F#ck!ng idiots. 🤦🏻‍♂️😩

The shooting of Charlie Kirk was the 46th school shooting of the year. The 47th one happened moments afterwards. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...

So many angry aggressive dangerous drivers this morning and then near the QEUH hospital I saw a cyclist lying on the road with an ambulance just arriving. They were talking but looked injured. I hope they're ok. 🤞 Remember the locals are fighting against cycle infrastructure for the sake of parking.

The Embankment cycleway (CS3) in London was purposefully built to be wider than was usual in order to future proof it. Some said it would hardly be used. Now there’s a decent case for widening it further. Induced demand is real.

Look who I saw cycling through Torrance. Sir Chris Hoy. And yes that's a donkey in the Foreground. 😁

This campaign should be adopted here - a really clear and impactful demonstration of how significant speed is in collisions with people outside of cars.

Hmm. Not keen on this, especially considering the potentially dubious reasons for the change, but I think they missed a trick. Just expand it to Sustainable Transport UK. STUK. We'd all remember that. 😁

This is honestly shocking. I'm not surprised but it's shocking none the less. 😩

Jamie Raskin, "They only want to protect free speech that they agree with" JR then demolishes Farage, ending with "You might want to think twice before you let Nigel Farage Make Britain Great Again"

The downside to not having had many punctures on your bike with tubes... When you go to fix the puncture and the rubber compound has dried out...😩

His answer was hugely impressive and it’s what Labour could have said years ago .

The city of Oslo has been lowering speed limits quite aggressively, even on the few urban highways that still exist. And drivers seem to largely be adhering to the new limits. So now, traffic sometimes feels like it’s moving slow motion. This is from a cycling trip yesterday.

I'm in shock... today I changed my first pair of tubeless tyres and...it worked. First time. Very little mess. Nicely inflated and seal tyres. 😱😁

here’s a version where the POV is blacked out whenever the driver takes their eyes off the road

I was on my bike and got slapped by a passenger driving passed in a car going 30 mph, fully clipped into my pedals. I was almost pushed into the curb and would have suffered nasty injuries. I tried to catch the car but they blew through a red light. A few months later I basically gave up cycling.

And a guy tossing a sandwich is charged with a felony? This guy deserved a minimum of 20 years as a major felony for assault. I quit road cycling years ago due to this kind of shit.

RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

In response to my rant yesterday, I was asked how we can make better parks and other public places for teenage girls? What do they want? I have answers to this, so now a positive 🧵. Starting in Sweden, where this was co-designed by teenage girls.

Fully agreed, only luck that his actions didn’t lead to a fatal outcome. The punishment comes nowhere near to meeting the level of malice involved in the crime. Until a proper and consistent deterrent is established, unloved cowards like this will continue to impose their frustrations on others.

Obviously I'm pleased this thug got caught, but 18 months sentence and a 2 year driving ban?! Seriously?! He's lucky to not have killed the cyclists. The prison sentence needs to be much longer and he should have a life ban from driving!! 😡😡😡 road.cc/content/news...
