When people & campaign organisations oppose floating bus stops, this is who they are opposing

A small trailer covered in flowers and loaded with garden plants in pots is pulled behind a bicycle.

I got this little trailer second hand and combined with thru axle takes most loads upto 40kg, + another 20kg in each pannier. But i would love a cargo bike, just for the joy of it.

Ditto in Exeter but the hefty ones are really too fat for a D lock.
We've now got a city centre Screwfix (hurray) which saves having to pedal around the utterly unsafe Industrial estate

And never any cycle parking

Ditto 20kg of floor levelling compound "good luck getting that on a bike".
"I'm not such a wuss that I need a truck"...

I've felt the same. But do it here. Put it in the public domaine, even if they can't be linked.

An ebike control reads 7999.1 miles

Yesterday this quietly turned over to 8000 miles.

That's 8000 miles less driven.
Less pollution
Less noise
Less road danger
Less road damage
No fossil fuels burned.

You're welcome Exeter.

A rocky stream, in a wide green valley (glen) surrounded by mountains.

Another vote for Arran. Loved it.

‘Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head Exclusive: ‘Devastating consequences’ now inevitable but emissions cuts still vital, says António Guterres in sole interview before Cop30

The secretary general of the UN has set out a very clear warning, but is anybody listening?

It doesn't get clearer than that. If anyone still thinks Farage is one of them, they need to be shown this video. This is before we even mention his role in Brexit.

Car crash causes damage to historic Devon shopfront A furniture shop owner says is "shocked and sad" after the crash on Sunday.

But did the shop have hiviz and a helmet?

To get the whole picture wouldn't you need to look at whether female mortality fell?

But does not eating snails count as picky eating?

Letting Silicon Valley Geoengineer the Atmosphere Will End Badly We already have plenty of evidence of what happens when things better left to governments — which in this case might decide to never flip the switch at all — are ceded to private industry.

"There isn't a reasonable scenario where we grant some rich people control over the planet's thermostat and everything turns out fine."

My latest:

Big turnout at the Exeter is For Everyone rally today that was held to oppose the far-right march through the town centre. Music, singing, chanting and a whole lot of love for diversity.

Two of your five a day. Cocoa is a vegetable.

Nathan Gill will be sentenced in a month.

Nigel Farage would like it to all go away, but it won’t. It happened on his watch.

Just like the failing councils his party are in charge of.

A white ford transit van is parked on a corner marked with both double yellow lines and white zigzags. There is a zebra crossing obscured by the van as a bus approaches.

When drivers park like this on zigzags, showing callous disregard for people trying to cross the road, it is reasonable to ask if they've even passed their test.
Does someone have to die before they lose their licence?

Every day is a school day. Is never heard of buzz pollination before.

It wasn't meant to be derogatory. It was aimed at those readers who are happy to point the finger at stoves but ignore the impact of their everyday car journeys.

Nor those killed cycling home from work.

Now do cars

Net zero by 2050 to limit warming to 1.5°C. That may have been plausible 10 years ago, but the continued rise of emissions means that there is effectively no carbon budget left for 1.5. It is cumulative emissions that drives warming. 1/6 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Not yet AFAIK. Maybe will wait sentencing 18 November?

What is even more insane is that parked vehicles are usually prioritised over moving vehicles and humans.
Where and how someone parks is an insight into their soul.

Triple tax. They pay for access to the NHS but no-one tells them there's no NHS dentists available (absolutely none in and around Exeter) so they can be bankrupted by a root canal problem.

Cyclists say Exeter road must never reopen to cars A consultation is under way to decide the future of Dryden Road

“We have a real opportunity to build on what works, to make Dryden Road, Bovemoors Lane and other local streets safer for everyone”

Ignore the headline, which we've requested Devon Live amend. This story is a positive one about active travel and safety in Exeter.
