Cycling side-by-side isn’t bad behaviour—it’s human behaviour. It’s how parents talk to their kids. How friends catch up. How communities form.
If bicycle infrastructure is too narrow for people to ride and talk together, the problem isn’t the people. It’s the infrastructure.

You’d think in this era of “MPs face increasing danger” there would be more outrage at newly elected Green MP Hannah Spencer being assaulted by transphobes but it’s nowhere to be seen on BBC News app even if you search her name
How odd – I thought all of this anti-trans stuff was about women's rights?
"The 34-year-old, who won last month's Gorton and Denton by-election, was helped by the police towards a waiting car after anti-transgender activists clashed with women's rights and anti-racism campaigners."
The reason the middle-class media has not reported Hannah Spencer being attacked by right-wing transphobes is that it needs to preserve the nice, coffeee-round-the-kitchen-table, middle-class view of transphobia, not the thuggish fascist reality.
It's good to see that the Welsh media are recognising that all the evidence shows that 20mph limits have significantly reduced death and injury on urban/village roads.
Good summary from @hansardsociety.bsky.social on how today's ~the children~ Commons debate on a social media ban for <16s is, regardless of your opinion on the issue, very bad lawmaking and government, rehashing (as I've said) bad ideas which were smacked out of the OSA years ago for a reason.
What I think about social media bans:
Greg: What was the wording on the task?
Alex: Make Achilles invulnerable by dipping him in the Styx. Most invulnerable Achilles wins.
Greg: Dip the baby. The whole baby. They’re not going to hang onto a heel or anything stupid like that.
Alex: First, let’s see Thetis’ attempt.
As I was made to wait 2.5 minutes to cross a road this morning, let's again do the maths simple.ghost.io/lets-do-the-...
Kevin Maguire pointing out that our right wing newspapers, who like to present themselves as the most patriotic, are the biggest cheerleaders for the US.
yeah I thought exactly that too
wouldn't something like a roomba with a plow (maybe even a heated one) be much better at this?
Americans really need to make their mind up, what are we the bland spiceless nation with no seasonings, or are we the weird nation with a wall of unknowable spices that are strange of foreign??
Like, I get all of these aren’t super common, but surely everyone should have Zaatar and Sumac??
the mild manners are job security, baby

When people go on about Polanski or Thunberg no caring about the planet anymore, can assure you, this sort of shit isn’t good for the planet
ridiculous
surely you can challenge this one?
This is glorious. The way the dude gasped when they were called out. It's so refreshing to see some challenge to our atrocious media ghouls. Long may it continue
Halvemaansteeg & Rembrandtplein, Amsterdam in 1979 and today.
From car-choked streets with little space for people to a lively car-free area with only trams, pedestrians & bikes permitted. Cafes and outdoor seating dominate the area.
A reminder to politicians: design streets for the city you want.
The thing about making up voter fraud claims is that they're win/win for whoever is saying it.
If they lose the election it excuses their loss.
If they win they can claim they were so popular they won in spite of the fraud.
Sorry, are Reform claiming that Muslim 'family voting' would mean that the family patriarchs would force the whole family to vote Labour when the women and kids actually wanted to vote Reform?
I know which one I would choose to blame for our dangerous roads…

"The report, reviewed by the FT, decided against using Palantir technology for Swiss military data since there was a risk that US authorities could gain access to the sensitive files."
Yet here Labour continues to shove public money down its throat.
A part of Akinola Davies Jr's speech the BBC decided not to air
Ofgem, the UK energy regulator, has disclosed that 140 data centres want grid connections, requiring **50GW** of power capacity at peak
Britain’s peak demand on a recently was 45GW
Can this amount of energy be provided cleanly? Even if it can, is it worth it?

Flex posts protect paint jobs, not people.
Still remarkable to ponder what exactly it is about washed-up, full-of-shit, generally-despised politicians that leads dodgy tech companies to pay them huge wads of cash.
