No fan of the budgets, but this Rachel Reeves house rental story is utter bullshit. The right are terrified of working class women and they are trying to clear house. Rayner, Phillips and now Reeves.

I don’t get why people don’t just angle lights down to 3 meters in front of the front wheel.

I know it’s more accepted in mainland Europe, but it seems to have been adopted in small towns and cities in most places I’ve been.

I’d like to see a brand like Reise and Muller do a budget bike. The super high end stuff is fantastic but not accessible to most. I’m talking 1.5k-2k max

In France for a break. The sheer number of cargo bikes you see in cities and larger towns is really encouraging. It doesn’t seem to be a novellty or a fad.

'It’s almost poetic that the loudest voices now decrying Britain’s immigration numbers are the same ones who fought hardest for Brexit’

People are just realising that we had a better grip on immigration within the EU

They gave us bar staff and builders - we gave them sunburnt pensioners and seaside property booms. It was win-win.

Imagine the life-long cocktail of ignorance, arrogance and obliviousness, for a man with the face of Jeremy Clarkson, to pass unsolicited commentary on someone else’s appearance…

The cargo bike boom that could change London’s roads forever

More and more businesses have shifted away from delivery vans and cars to cargo bikes. If it continues, the white van drop-off may become a thing of the past

The sheer amount of people who complain online that they’re getting tickets and claiming to not know why is hilarious.

I agree. It’s more about being allowed to do a load of gak and drive dangerously than an invasion of civil liberties.

I’ve never seen so much open racism in my life, hence why I left. It’s full of weird “good old days” comments that just completely disregard for how bigoted those days were. All that is deliberate of course.

Got a flat on the front tyre on my way home in the rain, stranded in Peckham, my usual call out repair @lowkey_cycles is away on holiday but then Seabass Cycles step in to save the day.
Love that there’s a community to back each other up when distaster strikes. #cycling#london

It’s the lack of advanced information that is the problem for anyone with different needs. Aaron my electrician just won’t take the chance so he uses Tower Bridge. @cyclingsparks.bsky.social . What happened to the cargo bike charter? @metecoban92.bsky.social @willnorman.co.uk
