Tomorrow's front page 🗞️ Top lawyer warns of far-right bid to build Scottish 'street army'
Responsible leaders in competent governments will have to fix this problem by heavily regulating auto manufacturers designs. There's no other way around it and people need to start becoming very loud and very aggressive about this issue.
kanchan@kayehm.bsky.social · 12h agoA UK study found that telling potential SUV buyers that those vehicles directly result in higher fatalities for pedestrians, cyclists and children had zero effect on their decision to buy them. What does work? Financial penalties: Increased fees, taxes, parking. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...
And if you think it's bad now, wait until they make it easier to pass by dumbing it down again!
Kathy Hodgson 💚🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🚲🥄@kathyhodgson.bsky.social · 12h agoI honestly think our driving test is not fit for purpose. If I compare it to that which Norwegian friends have taken, theirs is much more comprehensive. Including first aid, night driving, inclement weather etc Mine didnt even cover motorway driving although my instructor offered it as an extra.
We will not comply with the EHRC 'guidance', and neither should you. Take action for trans liberation.
How cute is this - a cargo bike with space for 8 kids (spotted in the Netherlands ofc), also saw loads parked outside of nurseries

How could a Scottish council get more people using buses, improve the network, cut costs, and grow revenue all at the same time? Well, this council seems to have the answer 👀 @xanderelliards.bsky.social has the full story ✍️

saw a guy do this in houston in 1994 and thought “this is it—the beginning of the end of cars.”

I was awarded a £10 gift card today for filling a survey, so used it to buy a large Acacia serving board. Was fun getting it home & will cut it up later to fix it to the Pronto front & rear rack once I get the fixtures.
“Nah mate, got no clue why those bloody cyclists don’t just use the bike lanes like they’re supposed to”
What a repulsive man. I had eye problems. Everything from routine cataract surgery and laser work for retinopathy in both eyes, to a vitrectomy. Some of the surgeons and nurses didn't have flawless English. But as they were busy saving my eyesight, it would have seemed churlish to whine about it...
I see 30p is cosplaying as a journalist again. Here he is 'undercover' discovering 'manuals' being distributed to migrants in foreign languages. Outrageous. All the while he's standing around - in France - expecting people to speak to him in a foreign language - English.
It seems City of Edinburgh Council have realised paving over a drain isn’t the smartest idea.

Sign of the times from Lincolnshire. Derelict golf course to be converted to 'shepherd's huts', holiday lodges and residential bunkhouse for educational purposes. The golf clubhouse becomes a cafe, shop. A lot about wellness, padel, pilates, wild swimming

Clarence Eckerson Jr./Streetfilms@streetfilms.bsky.social · 2d ago“Traffic Got Evicted!” Is one of the best branding campaigns ever. Thank you Hudson Square on Little 6th! New Manhattan pedestrian square has one of the best street murals ever. I took a 4mph #bikenyc ride thru so you can experience the flow.
Well there's a good one to request their Equality Impact Assessment & sue the fuckers for disability discrimination! #BashTheBarriers

Why use a bollard when a massive gate will do for a cyclist hating authority. Don't tell em that you could just whip around it on the footpath. Feckwits.
road.cc@roadcc.bsky.social · 15h agoIt's been a full-on day on today's live blog... road.cc/news/cycling...
It's my understanding that a single bollard creating 1.5m air gaps is the recommended installation, to ensure folk riding adaptive cycles can get through, but don't let that stop your bid to be featured in @apiln.bsky.social And with that pose, I fancy your chances www.yorkmix.com/call-to-fix-...

I don't often sign/share petitions but having watched the briefing a few weeks ago I truly believe that it needs to be shown on prime time terrestrial TV right across the UK. Please consider signing - we need this information to be widely known.

Forest refused to comment further when asked about the finer details of its insurance rollout first reported by the Times, but the move follows a widely publicised story about a pedestrian who was unable to claim compensation after she was injured by a Forest bike rider.

Oxford Clarion@oxfordclarion.bsky.social · 2d agoLeaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.
That NHS staff still provide care even to those who offer such vile abuse is a testament to their professionalism & humanity NHS staff are fantastic, racist shitheads should know they won't even be able to afford medical care if the far right get their way. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
