I take food around to my Nan's on my bike as she's 90 and has dementia.
I have to stick my bike on the stairs as there's no bike parking on the street - despite plenty of car parking.
We seriously need to ramp up residential street cycle parking.

A man assaulted a woman cyclist.
The same man is interviewed by the local newspaper. BEFORE it comes to court.
He tries to justify his actions and the paper and its readers buy into that, all because she was riding a bicycle.
What would they have said if she'd been walking?
Shocking leaked Israeli cabinet transcripts suggest that the Israeli government rejected several opportunities to free the hostages, broke the ceasefire, and chose to starve civilians as a strategy of war.

The University of Warwick has paid a lot of money, I'm guessing, for their internet banner ads on the Guardian and elsewhere.
But they can't spell "curiosity". This isn't a US-UK variant. They just, genuinely, have a massive spelling error in their banner ads.
