Paedophile, rapist and crooks shouldn’t have 1 term, let alone a 2nd or an illegal, unconstitutional 3rd. And he’s too darn old and senile. Better.

Of course I don’t have an emotional attachment to the East Wing, Shaun. I do, though, have an emotional attachment to Govt. following the correct and legal processes to demolish and erect a fucken Trump throne (balls)room. Just like the processes us plebs must follow to erect a building, Shaun. Twat

Some races stick with you. For Lachlan, that race was Three Peaks. Our film on his return to the three iconic climbs of Yorkshire is out on the Far Beyond YouTube now.

β€œWe wait to see what Putin will agree in return (nothing!!)….so Trump can have another Gaza-style glory fest. If that is the price of an end to this war, it would be cheap.” Cheap!!?? Not cheap for the lives of Ukrainians trapped in occupied territories, murdered, abused, tortured. Fuck me.

He’s peddled in bullshit his whole ignoble life. And now, the shitty cherry on top, he’s enjoying visions of him dumping his own fetid runny turds on his fellow citizens. A man full of excrement, a bloviating shithead of a man.

Known to take 2 pairs of gloves to winter group rides, just in case someone forgets theirs. And yup, have, more than once, given a spare rain jacket to a fellow rider too. Will always give a hand on roadside repairs. Cancerian 10/10 πŸ˜ƒπŸ‘πŸ»

E-bikes could cut carbon, congestion, and costs β€” if cities take them seriously E-bike sales are booming, providing a clean form of transportation that also improves public health. Yet cities remain committed to cars.

β€œMeanwhile, the e-bike market is skyrocketing…

The question now is: Do officials double down on deadly car-centric urban design, or do they rethink cities to encourage people to ditch four wheels for two?” Via @grist.org

And do we let elected leaders keep doing the wrong things for our cities?

YouTube video by Evan Edinger How I View the US After 13 Years Living in Europe

This is the absolute best I've ever seen the topic articulated and I'd encourage everyone to watch and share this video.

The US is not a normal country. Our quality of life is not the best amongst developed nations, and we have so much wrong for so little right. More need to understand this.

Much to parse here. First, it's part of Sketch's ongoing campaign "Poor British Motorist!" This was during the great motorway building boom. And do you know who profited from that boom? Transport minister Ernest Marples ...

I’m not really a Specialized guy, but this Aethos 2 is very much my type of ride. Get it with Ultegra Di2, stick on 32mm tyres and enjoy ripping up climbs and bombing the downhills…just need to magic up Β£6k.

Think ordinary people don’t feel the claimed benefits directly. But, even the trivial downsides like waiting longer at passport control are felt. Or feeling stuff is more expensive since leaving (even if not 100% Brexit). Brexiters told a better story pre-Ref - post-Ref reality doesn’t match up.
