The world would be a better place if journalists and lawmakers can distinguish an ebike from an electric motorcycle.
Kids who got new bikes "super excited" to walk them around the city that's too dangerous to ride in.
Just a thought. Let the price increase but as it falls apply extra duty. This way the effect of the increase is reduced.
There’s no such thing as a green car. What you’re thinking of is a less bad car that we’re at risk of having more of, and driving more, because we’ve been convinced it’s a green car.
Again, see the thread.
There’s nothing like an early morning ride for the mind, body and soul. A bit murky and damp.
Alexa. Show me someone who can’t remember what they said and changes their opinion depending on the wind direction.
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
Just a thought. If Deform are worried about “Family voting” why aren’t they worried about postal voting? Is this next on their banned list?
Stationary phone distraction isn’t harmless — the evidence is clear. It impairs hazard detection and reaction time, with effects lasting well beyond the interaction. This is road danger and it can (and does) have fatal consequences. Academic research strongly backs it (see pic). Enforcement matters.
Lovely lunchtime ride around the New Forest. Sunny but a bit fresh.
Post a pic to bring some zen to your feed
Five people a day all killed by cyclists on the roads. Let’s not upset drivers.
Great video — but the real issue is driver culture. Why rush past a cyclist only to sit at the next red light, where they catch up anyway? Adding real risk for only a few seconds — or often zero gain. We wouldn’t barge ahead in a normal queue, so why do it behind the wheel?
#RoadSafety #Cycling
Here I am having a holiday while lying about the government stopping me going to the Chagos Islands, where nobody can go without a permit. Still, who needs facts when your followers are thick and gullible?
"I saw a cigarette ad with the health warning: 'Tobacco smoke contains carbon monoxide.' The same magazine had several car ads, not one of which warned that exhaust contains much more carbon monoxide. People can't smoke. Cars can."
I can’t believe it’s not milk.
Austerity just kicks things into the long grass and costs more in the long run.
🚨Gorton and Denton by-election
Surely by now we can all see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities to gain support.
We are so much better than that.
DON’T BE TAKEN IN BY THE DIVISIVE POLITICS OF REFORM

110 drivers arrested in Northamptonshire during the festive drink & drug drive campaign. These weren’t mistakes — they were selfish, criminal choices. Impaired driving kills and devastates families. This culture must end. No drink. No drugs. No excuses.

Hang on.
He took the family camper for a drive at 13
He's been given 6 points on a future licence, but cant drive until he's 17.
But points expire after 3 years. Am I missing something?

Now we're talking!
Hi-vis for everyone!
With criminality this serious ending in death, what other crime would escape national news? This was only BBC local. What more must happen for a lifetime ban? Driving is a privilege, not a right. Our culture — and sentencing — needs radical change.

Pathetic headline typical of BBC.

New - Nigel Farage has been found by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards to have made 17 standards breaches, adding up to over £380,000 in late declarations.
He’s apologised, so no further investigation (which seems unusual for a breach this large)
🚨WOW! The Petition calling for by-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party now has almost 75,000 signatures! Let’s get it to the 100,000 needed! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...
“Having once been a cyclist”. Probably gave up because of driving like this around them. If the overtaking lane is empty use. If you don’t, you’re trying to be clever.
