Reminder, the primary danger for pedestrians overwhelmingly comes from motorists, not cyclists. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 131 floating bus stops in Leeds City Council area. 1 of those is near me and where a pedestrian waiting at the floating bus stop lost his life to a motorist. Cont…

With Palantir embedded with Network Rail and now with SpaceX being positioned as the primary train WiFi provider, we must ask the question: how much control is the US tech industry going to get over our railways?

cis people i can’t overstate how much this needs to be a red line for you. you have to walk out of orgs that want to segregate us, do what you can to shut them down. you have to treat these anti-trans groups like the fascists they are and disrupt them however you can. otherwise we will be GONE

Instagram: "we noticed you follow accounts about fixing bikes, screen printing, bookbinding, publishing zines, graffiti, socialist architecture, collecting cameras - so, here's an under-dressed woman jiggling herself about while whittling up a cabinet..." like, wtf.

"Don't you know who I am? Unimportant people are now dunking on me because I closed replies after I said Bluesky people want to live in a bubble"

Imagine the irony of Corey bitchin' about Bluesky users wanting to live ensconced in a Nazi-free bubble, then he closes down all replies to his thread...

Imagine if your mother, sister, daughter, friend had breast cancer. Imagine there was a drug that could help give them quality time, but they were refused it, because the drug is too expensive. How would you feel? Please sign and share this petition. action.breastcancernow.org/sign-petitio...

Remember this shocking national security assessment, only released thanks to an FoI, warning of ecosystem collapse? That was only the summary. The government still won't release the full report, not even on a confidential basis to MPs on the Environmental Audit Committee.

Wait a minute 🤔

This sort of bike lane technology isn’t legal in American yet… Call your local representatives today!

HS2 Ltd began 2009. Project officially approved 2012. Preliminary enabling works began 2017. Main construction began 2020. Earliest service revised to 2036. Cost so far £102.7 billion. Where has all that money gone? China would have had a gazillion miles built and running in one year, probably.

I'm still trying to get bike racks installed at a local grocery store.

Please sign Barnet Green Party's mental health petition on @ukchange.bsky.social change.org/Barnetmental... and if you can consider donating to a local community mental health charity. My dad is cycling from Lands End to John o'Groates to raise funds for JAMI.

Here in the rest of the world, we have noticed that Americans voted twice for a despotic pedophile spiv, and that the US (including the Democrat governments) is the only country that has consistently inflicted invasions and barbarism the most, on the rest of the world.

When people say transport/city cycling helps build community, this is what they are talking about.

Henceforth, I am now referring Dan Neidle as Dan Noodle - it's a winner.

People missing the fact there is also a Taiwan Strait. Basically he's saying he doesn't give AF about Taiwan.

Whenever anyone mildy progressive gains popularity and looks like they might threaten the established order, the wagons are circled and people like Miles are sent out to bat for the #Epstein class - using stories generated by the right wing press and #fascists.

I know desperately persisting with a national rip-off sounds appealing - especially if you're on the right - but even after 37 years of failures and debt, the continued privatisation of water is never going to work for consumers or the environment. weownit.org.uk/public-owner...

The long awaited album is dropping soon.

I'm sure Dan Neidle won't let this lie...

Regularly remove that rim tape to inspect your rims (especially after high commuter winter mileage.It's some years ago now, but I discovered this crack had been forming unseen - by chance - while fitting a new tyre and inner tube. It was the end of the road for these vintage FIR rims.

Palentir helped ICE target people for kidnapping and incarceration in concentration camps. Wes Streeting is actively helping a potential Reform government target people for the same treatment in the UK.

I see where you're going with this. It depends on the type of mooring: Residential Moorings: if you live on your boat permanently, connected to utilities at a fixed location, it's treated as a home. Continuous Cruising: if you have no home mooring and move continuously, you do not pay council tax.

The cognitive dissonance of Keir Starmer, who once defended one of the Fairford Five, a group who broke into an RAF military base in protest of the Iraq war - to becoming the most hated pro-genocide politician to proscribe a peaceful anti-genocide movement as terrorists.

Keen cyclist and avid sleuth Engelbert Humperdinck, and his cycling Lamborghini adventures around London...

This is the best cycling advert ever, especially because I’m in it. It beautifully shows that cycling is for everyone, no matter who you are or where you come from. Bikes bring people together and remind us that cycling is one of the best ways to improve our health and wellbeing.

Drivers, police and safety agencies: "People not in cars! Be seen, be safe!! wear hi-vis!!!" Meanwhile, here's a big-ass bright yellow bus (that's probably visible from space) being shunted by a truck...

Public joy is serious civic, cultural, and spatial infrastructure. And sometimes, it is expressed through the insistence of beauty in everyday life. #PublicJoyFramework

When drivers enjoy the privilige of using 99.8% of UK road miles and putting just 0.2% towards bike lanes feels like "everything is being made for cyclists", to them.

Lol, where am I?

Bike Bolshevik, with fries to go...

I now have a pair of functioning wheels (if nothing else 😅). These have been in storage for ages waiting for repairs - which I've now gotten round to. Handbuilt by Merlin Cycles with Mavic XM317 rims, Deore hubs stainless double-butted spokes. This is how they looked as new, way back in 2015...

Yes indeed #bluelug! Not sure where I'd stash the thing, as I've already hidden a frame under the sofa, and I can't even fit one whole bike in the flat 🤪😅

Britain is a fascist enterprise. It will never allow anything or anyone remotely left wing and progressive. They destroyed Corbyn with the antisemitism scam. Now they're using antisemitism to destroy Polanski, who is Jewish.

and the "bike industry" wonders why it's making less money in real terms than it did 20 years ago who you gonna sell bikes to when all the boomers are gone?

I spent a few years working as a bike courier & delivery driver. Should I have had access to a publicly funded bar to drink alcohol while on the job in between my deliveries? YES or NO? Listen to yourselves with this "our MPs should be able to drink themselves silly while passing laws" nonsense.

Crystal blue skies and golden sunlight flickering through trees - I dream of rollin' through forest trails like this. Another gem from #TheCultureOfPleasure youtu.be/w0LLKbAeueg?...

#Fahrradliebe is what it is 🤩

Exactly this!

One of my favourite YT channels #bikesbooks&buildings drops a new video which is really cinematic. Set in #oslo #norway on his beautiful #rivendellclemsmithjrL . The close up of the #thumbshifters is sublime. Like the title,the video is a love letter to bike riding in the city.The art of observation

Next Heavy Metal Cycling club ride is next Sunday! A 66.6km jaunt out to North Weald airfield from Stratford. If you're keen to join, RSVP here strava.app.link/TISfNBQJi2b (Route is undergoing some amendments by the Captain!)

Comrades: two wheels good, four wheels bad!!! Seize the means - on a bike!!!

WOUT!!!!!!!!! 🥲 #ParisRoubaix

Excellent idea! It needs to happen!

I'm deep in the heart of Marylebone today - lovely sunny day with clear blue sky and loads of people out. Sat having a #coffee when this fab metal box #cargo trailer & #bike combo arrives on deliveries. I now want one of those trailers! en.hinterher.com
