"Fietser".... happiest cycling, in 'normal clothes'. Cargo bike in South Wales. Ban SUVs!
For the 5th consecutive year child casualties have flat-lined at around 13,000 road casualties of age 16 and under. In what other area of life would the death or injury of 13,000 children be "acceptable"? The government has a Road Safety Strategy that aims to reduce child KSIs by 70%.
Sickening figures quoted in this article for people killed/seriously injured in 1 year. Almost THIRTY THOUSAND. I'm trying to imagine what this article - & reactions to it - would look like with any other mode of transport. 30k plane deaths? 30k hit by ebikes? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...
Child pedestrian casualties are almost five times higher in England’s worst-off areas

Reform UK donor and Farage ally George Cottrell carried a fake Swiss passport under the name ‘Oscar Drewitt’. Cottrell was hired under the name by the future Reform treasurer Mehrtash A’zami. A’zami later vetted Cottrell’s mother's donations to Reform, now the subject of a police investigation

A special thank you to the woman behind me in an SUV today who was clearly in a rush, and yet had the time to stop, wind her window down and shout at me that I was 'getting in everyone's way' as I was cycling uphill outside my 6yr old's school. Stunningly ignorant.

If you’re ever lost in the wilderness, just build a cycle path because someone is bound to pull up in their car and park in it.
The sort of treatment women have been putting up with FOREVER when we dare to want a career as well as a family.
Jessica Elgot@jessicaelgot.bsky.social · last mo.The latest one is how he had a baby and how he will neglect his children to campaign as a comedy character. Guys?! He doesn’t campaign? He literally turns up on the night. Just trying thinking about it for more than two seconds. Do you think he goes door knocking with his head in a bin?
I've seen this article on TV repeatedly today, & I cant help but think that 1) unless I'm mistaken, the pedestrians 'cross' light is red. Would a car driver have been blamed in the 1/n BBC News - E-bike injury payouts top £110m and push up insurance premiums - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
E-bike injury payouts top £110m and push up insurance premiums
It is only seven years since the first claim over an injury from a micromobility vehicle was made.

WE HAVE AVOCET NEWS!!! An Avocet spotted at RSPB Middleton Lakes has been confirmed as the oldest ever recorded in the UK. At 36 years old, it's lived more than five times longer than the species' average lifespan. First ringed in 1990, it's still out there doing Avocet things. Go on Avocet. 😍
How many people will be driving to work on next to no sleep, and possibly still with a lot of alcohol in their system this morning do we think?
The irony of it being too hot for me to bike the afternoon school run all this week 😒

Indeed. Businesses have to actually paint & add signs to parent-&-child (& disabled!) spaces in their car parks, coz they know full well how selfish drivers are, & they will just park right in front of the door to where they're going if those spaces aren't officially reserved for ppl who need them.
Politics of Cars@thismachinekillsfascists.bike · 2mo agoDrivers never leave spaces near the front of parking lots for cars with small children, so that kids don't have to walk past so many truck drivers who might not see them before moving. Transit passengers always offering seats to kids. They love it.
Remember all those articles about how young men are becoming much more right wing and pro-Reform than older men? Well it turns out the opposite is actually true
Nigel Farage. A proper football fan who hasn't moved an inch in almost two years.
How much faster than the speed limit do you think someone would be needing to travel in the opposite direction to me, for it to be worth reporting? Along a 20mph Rd, and even by the poor standard along there, he was *noticeably* fast going past me.
