Anyone know anyone who wants to buy a perfectly good Gazelle e-bike? www.facebook.com/share/1DetZ3...

New Bike Day has arrived! What a bloody lovely ride home that was. Thanks Flying Dutchman Bikes for the wonderful service as ever. 🥳🥳🥳

Cope Islet: a small island for those finding it hard to live with AI.

Yesterday at the same junction in Stamford Hill where a driver crashed into me in July. So many drivers do not understand what giving way means.

Why do we allow roads like this to exist in modern cities? Huge chasms which divide communities wherein which people walking are subjected to standing on tiny islands between roaring single occupancy cars. It's a disgrace

And a little further down on this sorry excuse of a Cycleway on the same trip. You can ignore this all you like @willnorman.co.uk, but the problem isn't just going to go away. #Cycleway1

I wonder why you don't see families riding their bicycles very often on this TfL-funded and @hackneycouncil.bsky.social managed Cycleway? I can't put my finger on it.🤔 #Cycleway1

Cycleway my arse! @issaddlethereis.bsky.social · 4d

The idiot driving this SUV was in such a hurry to park that they thought nothing of close passing people on bicycles daring to use #Cycleway1.

Cycleway my arse! @issaddlethereis.bsky.social · 4d

Another road closure on #Cycleway1 with no advance signage, no "except cycles" sign or no cycle diversion route. Why does this keep happening @hackneycouncil.bsky.social @hackneylcc.bsky.social?

These same people think we're stupid enough to believe this is also a Cycleway. #Cycleway1 Mustn't forget that Will Norman uses the route and thinks it's okay. So why complain? Why indeed...

Your regular reminder that those in charge at the HQs of TfL
@mayoroflondon.bsky.social @willnorman.co.uk @hackneycouncil.bsky.social Haringey Council think they've done enough to convince the public that this red line constitutes a genuine Cycleway. #Cycleway1. #Delusional

Cycleway my arse! @issaddlethereis.bsky.social · 4d

The trouble with building backstreet cycle routes instead of alongside busy main roads is that large numbers of people are required to cross the busy road in order to access it. Such as roads like this with no provisions for people crossing by bike. What gives @willnorman.co.uk? #Cycleway1

Surely Cycleway1 counts as an unusual route!

Really good to see calls for more lifetime driving bans, & stiffer and more consistent sentencing from the parliamentary walking and cycling group (who don't seem to be here yet).

Motorists have been encroaching on pedestrian space since the early days of motoring. This shot is from The Automobile magazine (USA), 1902.

Are those shared-use pavement signs I see?! 🤦‍♂️

Was good. But why did they lie about them “always” talking about the dangers posed by drivers. Shameful.

This happened to me on 2nd July this year. Reported same day to the police, who are apparently still waiting for the owner of the registered vehicle to identify the driver - even though I provided evidence of the driver's identity! Is this normal? Over 3-months with no outcome?

Breaking news! This part of #Cycleway1 has been transformed with a fresh coat of paint! Still no safe crossing for people cycling, but doesn't that paint just make you feel so safe? Thanks @hackneycouncil.bsky.social. You're spoiling us. 😔

Cycleway my arse! @issaddlethereis.bsky.social · 12d

Doesn't #Cycleway1 just scream "easy to navigate, helping riders of all levels feel safer and more confident." (to use TfL's own words to describe Cycleways). Are you proud of this absence in meaningful cycle infrastructure @hackneycouncil.bsky.social @willnorman.co.uk @mayoroflondon.bsky.social?

Cycleway my arse! @issaddlethereis.bsky.social · 12d

To call Paul Street on #Cycleway1 a "boneshaker" is an understatement. If the route isn't going to be free of motor traffic, the very least it should be is smooth. Will you ever fix this @hackneycouncil @willnorman?

Cycleway my arse! @issaddlethereis.bsky.social · 12d

Another driver using #Cycleway1 as a shortcut who doesn't understand what a stop line means.

A scheme encouraging children to cycle to school is empowering pupils and preparing them to learn, organisers have said. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

'Worcester bike bus gives the school run back to kids'

There are 16 routes in Worcester, serving 12 schools, with at least one ride every day of the week.
