Chemist by education ,retired teacher, National Trust guide and Nature conservation volunteer who uses a bicycle to see the world. Pressing for safer cycling routes so that more people can enjoy it too.
Hmm. Can you find any case where, without controls, a grid hasn't ended up traffic snarled.
Even the HWC doesn't change the law. That is a much lengthier process.
Helping drivers do the right thing is not to be sneezed at.
(David Attenborough voice) The modern American driver is easily startled when confronted with something out of the ordinary.
Meanwhile the well prepared cyclist deploys their full plumage giving a clear signal to “GIVE ME 3FT OF SPACE!”
Everything is calm again on the roads to school.
More people are taking the bus since Oxford's temporary congestion charge was introduced say Oxfordshire County Council. Data from six local bus companies including Oxford Bus Company shows an 8% increase vs prior year since the introduction of the charge.

Another reason to be grouchy about dull weather. 😜
Maybe Israeli Jews have reason to see the Iranian government as a threat to their existence.
Going to need some more bike racks at The Strand. Plus people sitting, chatting in 13 degree March. @londoncycling.bsky.social Build a Low Traffic West End. Now.
I grew up in Bristol and had a juvenile interest in heraldry.
On the reredos the arms of England, Berkley and Clare.
"I don’t know the moment it happened; it must’ve been a slow realization. ‘My bike is my mobility aid’." Great article from @bikehfxlobby.bsky.social published In Active Travel Studies activetravelstudies.org/article/id/1...
Have the posts been snapped off ? Wands attached to orcas seem a lot more durable. Wandsworth officers should know about them as they are shared with Richmond.
Ours will rattle her cat door to get us to open the door in which it is fixed.
Actually pushing her door open herself is a last resort.
Kickstands are obviously dangerous things to have. By not fitting one that is one bike-related injury that I have avoided.
And unleashed about a century of religious wars.
Courage has limitations as a virtue.
Nice to see the inside about 40 years after we visited. Apparently that blocked window is an early example of bar tracery.
I was proud to break the 30 limit alongside the Feeder canal. There was a westerly gale blowing.
A 12-year old cyclist is in hospital after being struck by a hit-and-run driver on Sandy Lane West, between Blackbird Leys and Littlemore. Thames Valley Police are appealing for witnesses or dashcam footage of the collision, which involved a red car yesterday around 3.25pm.
Respectively marble and bronze weenies to be pedantic.
The vertical bits in the head tracery wouldn't occur in Dec I would have thought. Fairly meagre for either.
I can only go by the blue lines on TfL maps. That goes via Percy Rd , Ellerman AVE to Hanworth Rd. Not the way I would go to Hounslow.
On the other side of the subway Medway leads to Crane Park route and the Station Rd route through Twickenham.
LCN numbers are rarely helpful I have found.
Loved reading this. It describes the type of spending and taxes we should be putting in place to create a sustainable an equitable planet.

What does 4 mean.
Showing your bank card to potentially dodgy sites is perfectly OK ????
A picture of my face very reliably indicates over 18 .
Hmm. Cheaper mileage encouraging more driving with the consequent congestion, road danger etc.
Careful what you wish for.
Hmm - Walking and Cycling but don't risk any delays to motor traffic.
London hasn't yet become a cycling city - just bits.
If in doubt say "ritual".
Maybe but only after their alliance broke down and East Germany was hardly a great result.
Yes but US involvement was important.
In recent years, Bilbao has quietly built a cycling network shaped by lessons from the Netherlands: calmed where it can be, protected where it must be, and always comfortable and connected.
The result? You can now pedal across the city on infrastructure made for everyone—not just the fit and brave.
