Amazing how much space there is in London’s “narrow” residential streets when you deal with the real problem - space annexed to private motor vehicle storage.

MAGA republicans quoting Nazi Minister of propaganda Joseph Goebbels. We are cooked!

Quiz time! Guess the model of car whose driver decided this sign didn’t apply to them?

Statement from Walk Ride GM on the comments made by Andrew Gywnne MP and local councillors about a local campaigner

The average weight of cars sold in Europe increased by 21% between 2001 and 2022, leading to increased consumption of public space, heavier vehicles, reduced road safety, poorer visibility, and declining air quality. Autobesity

I haven’t ever posted a bike pic before, so here’s a bike pic! I know there are some Boardman snobs but I love mine!

Cycling Bluesky. Thoughts on best cycling route from Twickenham to Hammersmith? I'd like to avoid the A316 if possible. Richmond Park then Putney?

The @nytimes.com should hire whoever wrote this headline. Seriously!

The thing that makes me angry is that we now have to take shit like this seriously. I remember back in the day if someone was talking about buying a country, you could buy him a pint and a bag of salted peanuts, and he’d fuck of and not bother you again. Now he’s president

A request to Cycling Bsky - I desperately want to pre-bunk this Panorama hatchet job airing tonight. Millions will see it and getting out ahead of misinformation is the cure. If there is a way to amplify this post to your audiences please help as i'll be correcting the record as best I can soon 🧵

Good grief. 😂

Everything stated in this post is a provable fact. You are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own facts. Looking at YOU, 2020 election-deniers.

JUST IN: Tesla Cybertruck explodes at the entrance to Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas

We build vehicles that weigh 9000 pounds with 1000HP, can go 0-60mph in 3 seconds and market them recklessly. We then ask people to wear construction vests to cross the street. This is all so beyond absurd and it's truly incredible that we've normalized this.

Let’s try and keep Bluesky safe and respectful. Here are two anti-cycling trolls for you to block and report. @ediz1975.bsky.social @tantrumsonabike.bsky.social

Hang it in the fucking Louvre.

Steve McNamara, head of the Licensed Taxi Driver’s Association blames the demise of London Taxis on “anti car” London, LTNs and cycle lanes for “white middle class men”. Black cabs enjoy unprecedented access in London having unlimited use of bus lanes, and purpose built taxi ranks. What an idiot.

The average lifespan was 35 and 50% of people died before they were 2. Is what they did.

Shout it louder 👏🏻

The Media won't acknowledge this video of the farmers blocking an ambulance with its blue lights on so could you could RT it so people see it?

Dear Van driver. Thanks for this close-pass and brake check (for having the audacity to shout "hey" as you passed me leaving a few centimetres). You were in such a hurry to pass, but had all the time in the world to argue. Hoping your Notice of Intended Prosecution arrives on Christmas Eve x

Merry Christmas everyone. Ediz has arrived on Bluesky to sow his hate and division. Rejoice!

Cillian Murphy stuns in first look at ‘28 Years Later.’

@telegraphnews.bsky.social shut up you hysterical twats. You know who really “suffers”? It’s the families of the thousands of people killed every year by avoidable road violence.

Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳

Quote of the day from @theguardian.com "All these strategies [to manage Trump mk2] face a basic problem. At 78, Trump, more than ever, is a capricious, egotistic, indecisive, irrational manchild. He himself doesn’t know what he’ll do next, let alone anyone else."

"The new bike lanes turned #Paris inside the Périphérique into possibly the most easily traversable of the great metropoles. With cars squeezed out, the city's air cleared. Children played on the pedestrianized school streets. The new café terraces were more fun than parking spaces they replaced..."

It's unbelievable that even when they're parked, motor vehicles are so dangerous to people on bicycles. One of the best cyclists in the world, Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel, was on a training ride and got doored by a parked van, and suffered fractures to his rib, shoulder blade, and hand.

The most dangerous part of driving is the cars. The most dangerous part of biking is the cars. The most dangerous part of walking is the cars.

Another step forward in improving language around road crashes: Government gives police permission to replace 'accident' with 'collision' on road signs fleetnews.co.uk/news/police-...

In an attempt to readdress the balance of the depressing energy sapping cesspit that Twitter has become, I will be posting some pictures of my cats.

Bye bye X hellscape. Hello @bsky.app #DeactivationDay

Why 20 is plenty in built up areas. Over half of London’s roads are now 20mph and the evidence shows it’s saving lives.

Is anyone needs a laugh. Bunkbed on BBC R4 is very funny. I listened to on the episode with Guy Garvey (of Elbow) and Rachel Stirling (daughter of Dianna Rigg). The “spring roll” story had me in bits. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Epic capture ….Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona ✨👏✨😎✨

Girona has long-term plans to tunnel the elevated train tracks running through the heart of the city, but in the meantime, they are making the most of the existing railway viaduct; activating the area below with a kilometre-long path that forms the spine of their cycling network.

I'm quite liking this. It's like walking into a room full of old friends without hundreds of ignorant twats wanting to start a fight. #bluesky
