@RossLydall Good news but a big challenge is making these parking arrangements wind proof. The bikes fall over way too easily in a strong breeze - they look a mess + cause an obstruction. Some kind of bike stand to lock them to but one which doesn't attract regular bikes may be the solution.

Lambeth council to convert 136 on-street car parking spaces into parking bays for dockless e-bikes - enough space for almost 2,000 Lime, Forest and Voi bikes - in bid to tackle pavement parking problems standard.co.uk/news/transport…

Morrissey Ⓜ️ -"Make-Up Is a Lie" is the first studio album since I became a Morrissey fan. I am in my 63rd year but he’s made me feel like a teenager again! I should have been in Sevilla tonight but for a Moz injury in Zürich #Morrissey #TheSmiths

We're expanding London's network of cycleways, making streets safer & enabling more people to choose healthy & sustainable ways to travel. Great to see the new protected bike lanes being built on Westbourne Terrace in @CityWestminster. 👏 @AdamHug Max Sullivan & team with @TfL

@KingstonCycling Kingston station bike hub has been boarded up - just a few racks (on ground floor) now accessible. A real shame - this was an impressive facility which only opened post Covid. Some obvious problems & some obvious (to me) solutions. Any idea of latest plans?

@KingstonCycling presumably you're aware of the Kingston station bike hub being boarded up with just a few stands on the ground floor now accessible? Any idea what they're planning to do? Thanks.

@Dulwichparkrun Hi - just wondering if you're looking for any pacers for this coming Saturday? I think a local club usually provides them these days.

@ediz1975 All types of transport user break the rules when they think they're a) not endangering themselves or others + and b) not going to get caught. It's why motorists habitually exceed 20/30 urban speed limits + 70 on motorways. Also why drivers frequently text when sitting in traffic.

We seriously need to do better 🚴🚴 No life saver check …. No hesitation in jumping this red light…. As cyclists we need to keep safety in mind and not blindly put ourselves in danger. We must do better 🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴

@RichardWellings I use all types of transport - bus, car, bicycle, walking, train, tram. In town & city centres, priority must be on space efficient types (bikes, buses and walking). Between towns and into the countryside, makes sense to use trains and cars. Odd how people find this hard to grasp

The amount of taxpayers' money wasted on ill-conceived cycle lanes is a national scandal. Many are in stupid locations, with little demand, and thus hardly used. Others are downright dangerous. Nearly all impose major costs on motorists, businesses and local residents.

@StreetStephen Do you sing at all @StreetStephen ? Would love to hear you perform your Viva Hate/Bona Drag era songs. They were so magical. People frequently praise your production skills but your song-writing on these was sublime.

@JohnJohnStewart Odd angle John. I use the bus loads and I also cycle a lot. You seem to live in a world where the cycle users' and bus users' Venn diagram has no overlap. You couldn't be more wrong.

Times reports cycle activists, many pictured below, want Hammersmith Bridge only for cyclists & pedestrians. 6 bus routes have been cut since its closure 7 yrs ago & access to Charing Cross Hospital has been complicated. Shows once again many cycle activists disregard bus users.

@bristolboudicca @jeremycorbyn Wrong - Jeremy won hundreds of thousands to over a million more votes than K Starmer at both elections. Starmer was massively less popular but in 2024 Reform came along and split the right-wing vote letting a very unpopular Lab leader become PM. It really was that simple.

@jeremycorbyn Yes, but sadly you were unelectable to the general voting population. By refusing to see that you could well have condemned the UK to more years of Tory govt than it could have had.

Under my leadership of the Labour Party, Peter Mandelson had no role, no influence and no part to play, because I do not trust the man and I do not believe the man.

@ZackPolanski Anyone know why Reform candidates keep banging on about being the 'new sheriff in town'? First it was their London mayoral candidate, now it's Jenrick. Has there been a Reform away-day where they've spent the whole time watching old Dukes of Hazzard episodes?

Week by week - they are interviewing the party leaders. When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it. He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead. The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me. A pattern emerging...

@Dulwichparkrun Great event folks. I was tempted to pace 20 but wasn't convinced I had it in me. It turned out I was right! 10 seconds over. Should be good for next month though.

After last week's cancellation a chilly morning greeted 753 parkrunners. Including 26 who made this their first! Well done all! 🏅 As it is the second Saturday we had pacers as part of our volunteer crew. Thanks to all the volunteers ⭐ #DFYB #loveparkrun #dulwichPark #dulwich

@BBCNews If I hire an e-scooter or bike, I am physically restricted to 15mph. If I enter certain parks and streets, the speed is automatically restricted to 5mph. Why are we allowing any vehicle to exceed 70mph anywhere in the 1st place given the devastation that speeding cars can cause?

C'est le moment d'ouvrir notre calendrier de l'avent ! Notre première idée pour le vélo à Paris : des aménagements cyclables sécurisés de la place de la République à la place de l'Etoile. Une continuité cyclable nécessaire pour les déplacements entre l'est et l'ouest de Paris.
