A queue of cars stretching up smallbrook queensway towards to bullring car park entrance

Bullring traffic looking good today

The train is completely empty, this is astounding from crosscountry

Our steed awaits (but won't let us on yet)

As expected the cardiff train has been cancelled, let's get on the four carriage penzance train instead and see how that goes

@garethdennis.bsky.social has managed to radicalise me re louise haigh, how does he keep doing it

Bus lanes are actually incredible, harborne traffic doesn't know what's hit it

A canalside establishment with a sign saying 'the flapper' on it

Next on to the flapper!

A small building with a sign for 'The Prince of Wales', with red tiles on the ground floor and cream brick on the first

Taking my non-birmingham pals on a voyage of discovery today in birmingham, starting here at the prince of wales

Watching in horror as my slightly train-averse pals in reading head to catch a 44 minute delayed four carriage crosscountry service

People riding in a safe bike-lane in downtown Vancouver

You don’t have to be a “cyclist” to support safe bike infrastructure in your city. You don’t have to ride bikes at all. You just have to understand the FACT that bike infrastructure makes getting around easier & safer for EVERYONE, saves us all public money, & makes cities generally more successful.

absolutely and utterly furious, there's now no redeeming features about this government whatsoever

Louise Haigh quits as transport secretary over phone offence Haigh's departure is the first Cabinet resignation under Sir Keir Starmer's government.

This absolutely reeks of McSweeney. Grim.

It was nice to have someone who actually cared for public transport but I suppose that is at odds with this government (they're on the side of the drivers)

Well it was fun while it lasted

In the end I opted to walk up the hill

I then encountered a second, even more secret patch of ice the other side of the roundabout while trying to resume my journey

A secret patch of ice caused me to take an unintentional egress from my bike seat this morning while going around a roundabout on ridgacre road, guess quinton doesn't get gritting privileges

When someone dies or is injured on the city’s roads, survivors and bereaved families are the ones most directly affected. However, it indirectly affects everyone within the city too. The total societal cost of killed and seriously injured casualties in the West Midlands for 2023 was £444 million. Road deaths and serious injuries in Birmingham during 2023 account for approximately £205 million of the regional costs (almost 50%). The costs are calculated annually based on estimated real costs for lost output, medical and ambulance, police, insurance and damage to property. Currently every fatality is estimated to cost £2.4 million, and when a person is seriously injured, £271,00015.

A new Birmingham City Council scrutiny report has highlighted the enormous financial burden of road harm, with road casualties costing around £205 million in Birmingham EVERY year.

The current status quo is not only unacceptable on a human level but also economically ruinous.

My commuter bike- full fenders, a basket and a waterproof bag to hold stuff I need for the day like my lunch and a few tools. Same bag I use for grocery runs.

Cycling through cannon hill in the dark is very spooky! Mainly because you can't see the potholes

busy day!

hello!
