@tattoo_jak Ink poisoning's a thing, eh?

You don’t need to walk in traffic. You cross a road when it’s safe to do so. You have a guide dog to assist with this.

@nxwestmidlands You've posted five images in an hour with no alt-text for screen readers. That isn't good enough.

@JCDecaux_UK Hello. Make this safe please. Haden Circus, Birmingham.

@jsolloso @BobFromAccounts Shush, the adults are talking.

@BobFromAccounts It's madness that you keep wanting technology to go backwards. Let's see you carry a sofa on a bicycle.

The epitome of efficiency: it's madness that cities still prioritise so much space for cars.

@itsbigjobber Careful now, Phil Neal's son will be along with a 20-minute video explaining at length why it's actually the rider's fault and how they should have made it a non-event. Then he'll dismiss anyone asking what he's been smoking as Toxic Twitter while sockpuppeting his own praise.

Van driver wipes out cyclist which is caught on camera - Big Jobber explains liability and who is at fault for the collision! #cycling #cyclist #bicycle #driving #collision #carcrash #crash #carwreck #dashcam #dashcamcrash #whoisatfault #bigjobber Cyclist crash | cycling crash | bicycle | cycling | driving | collision | crash | car crash | helmet cam | head cam | white van man | white van

Seems that @Morrisons see nothing wrong with drivers parking on footways. A perfect demonstration of their contempt for the communities they profit from.

Why do @Morrisons drivers think they can park on footways as long as they put their hazard lights on? Unacceptable corporate negligence.

Just as well because Procuration of Coffee & Snacks Officers can't issue Traffic Offence Reports in the West Midlands.

@neilflynn61 @MikeyCycling I seen the same bad faith argument more times than you've taken a fare south of the river. I see right through it.

@CCSteV @MikeyCycling Oh another one straight in with the abuse! What is it with you cyclists that you can’t have a discussion or debate without getting abusive? My concern was for the individual and possibly his family not the loss of the job.

Just back from court, and for the third time in a row the defendant changed their plea to guilty when I turned up. Young lad driving a 16 seater HATS/Council minibus across Holland Park Avenue, moving and using his phone. 6 points and apparently around £600 fine+costs.

@neilflynn61 @MikeyCycling If he does lose his job it'll be through his own criminality, and in turn an opportunity will come up for another driver. I know it's tough for the hard of thinking, bab but that work doesn't just vanish into the aether.

@MikeyCycling And most probably cost the young man his job! Let’s hope he doesn’t have a family to provide for!

@StaffsRCT @NewcastlePolice Not. A. Pedal. Cycle. Hope that helps. Can't believe I have to keep saying this to police accounts. It validates misinformation published by media and vested interests while adding risk to people using legitimate EAPCs. Do better. #S189RTA1988

This electric push bike had a 1000W output and a top speed of 40mph making it illegal to be used on public roads 🚲💨 Seized in @newcastlepolice area by #Team3RCT ⚡

@JohnJohnStewart Oh bless, Jimjohn's done a populism. Take a sensationalised story, throw in all the exhausted old tropes to make a bogeyman then propose a Whole Load Of Things to knock it down. Cute.

I have a column in today's Times which argues that cycling policy should focus on short-distance cyclists rather than speedy commuters. You can read is below. Give short-distance cyclists priority over speedy commuters John Stewart Tuesday August 12 2025, 7.49pm, The Times It is a daily occurrence. Cyclists jumping red lights and racing across pedestrian crossings. This month ITV London reported that 200 cyclists had gone through a red light in only one hour at a busy central London junction.However, these speed merchants raise a wider issue about whether the government is pursuing the right policy on cycling. It seems to have been pressurised by the cycle lobby to put the emphasis on catering for those who want to ride at speed over fairly long distances, mainly to work. Mostly these are fit, able-bodied men.I question whether these are the journeys most people want to make by bicycle. The majority find a bicycle useful for shorter rides: the trip to school or to visit friends locally; journeys where local public transport may be complex; jumping on a hired bike to go a short distance; and, in the commercial world, deliveries to nearby premises by cargo or electric bikes. A policy focused on shorter trips, almost certainly made by a more diverse demographic, would have a different emphasis: much less cycling on “main” roads; the creation of cycle-friendly side streets; the development of safe routes to school; the provision of more secure cycle storage facilities, particularly in low-income areas; and an emphasis on junctions — according to Transport for London research in 2023, 84 per cent of cycle casualties occur at junctions. Of course, there always will be longer journeys made by bicycle, such as shift workers who often find cycling convenient. But if the majority of potential trips are to be over shorter distances, the current emphasis on speed, fast superhighways and floating bus stops is mistaken. It would flying in the face of the facts to say that the chronic congestion in many of our towns and cities is entirely, or mostly, down to cycle lanes but, equally, the less cycle provision that is required on busy roads, the more space there is for essential users of those roads, including buses and delivery vehicles. Business and commerce are the lifeblood of any town or city. Congestion leads to more costs and lower productivity. If a different approach to cycling, more in tune with most people’s aspirations, were to help ease that congestion, it could be a win-win situation.

@tony_eh @JohnJohnStewart Ediz is a ghoul as are those who enable him.

If you needed any more proof just how unhinged and vile Ediz is, here's his post under the story of a child netting killed on the pavement by a drug driving bus driver who feel asleep at the wheel. This is the kind of person @JohnJohnStewart supports and encourages.

@ediz1975 @alligatorsmile @StephenTompsett @n00dles71 @VincentStops Fuck off, wretched ghoul.

@alligatorsmile @StephenTompsett @n00dles71 @VincentStops Unfortunately Greg supports harming children and women outside LTNs

People like @ediz1975 and @VincentStops are conspicuously quiet when our kids are slaughtered by buses. These charlatans persist with the idea our kids don't deserve segregated and safe cycleways and demand our kids share a lane with these killers instead itv.com/news/london/20…

@AKOK151 @MikeyCycling @grok Who?

Build cycle lanes to stop young people on bicycles dying, and you face powerful arguments against them. @willnorman @MayorofLondon @PutneyFleur @MikeyCycling @righttobikeit @ChaponaBike123 @Bikery1966 @laura_laker @BrianColeman251 @schneiderhome @MrJamesMay @WestminsterWAG

@TAndersen_nSCIr @APPGCW Actual, real and verifiable KSI data doesn't bear that out but please, do go on embarrassing yourself.

@APPGCW They are at least 100x as dangerous as a car per mile travelled. Your photo shows no helmet. A car has a frame, scientifically designed crumple zones, seat belts, seat belt retractors, air bags, tempered glass, etc. no comparison.

Subsidising e-bikes instead of cars could really kick the electric vehicle transition into high gear theconversation.com/subsidising-e-…

@smithy966467_m @BBCBreakfast Legal, regulated pedelecs are already available. These machines are uninsurable death traps. EAPCs are regulated to allow anyone, including older kids, to ride them without needing a licence.
