@irishpeloton Once GCN lost all the cycling, I’ve stopped watching. Even really stopped cycling, and I don’t race CX anymore. I’m not blaming GCN, but I’m not paying all that to WBD…

I don’t really see how this even helps WBD. More subscribers? It might do the opposite. ITV is like a gateway drug, a funnel for people who become addicts and eventually subscribe to D+ Anyone who only watches the Tour currently won’t suddenly pay. They just won’t watch the Tour.

This is the image of Alan Morfett threatening a member of the public with a large knife. He was swiftly arrested by EA officers. Today, despite all their hard work- he walked out of court with a suspended sentence. Today they must be asking themselves why they even bothered? 1/2

@angus_f_h @MikeyCycling 😂 you got me there

Looks like I'm going to be on BBC Breakfast at 08:15ish tomorrow, opposite Dave Laurie of the private hire and taxi association. Anyone know much about his views?

@MPSWForest @wfcouncil @BTP Great work. Next. Walk around Lloyd’s Park at the weekend, and other parks. Need routine drug dog patrols.

In response to concerns over drug misuse, SNT officers, Pro-active team & partners from @wfcouncil ASB team, @BTP & #ProjectADDER were out in the rain tonight working with a passive drugs dog around Leyton Tube station 2 arrests so far : 1 x Class A drugs, 1 x PWITS

@gplama That’s the new Strava tax algorithm

This new Strava filtering isn't exactly ideal. In fact, it's embarrassing. I can title any activity with extremely offensive language, no problem. If I put "42.5km" in the title - They remove that. Umm..... 🤷🏻‍♂️

@SurreyRS Well Done. Should be disqualified for life. He could have taken someone else’s.

3/3 At court, ENGLE entered guilty pleas to all offences and was sentenced to: 8 month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months. Disqualified for driving for 3 yrs & must take an extended test. £250 fine for possession. £687 in costs & surcharges. Vehicle seized & disposed of!

6th Oct 23, Adam ENGLE (34) of Longmoor Rd, Liphook passed #SPCasualtyReduction Officer conducting speed enforcement in Chiddingfold. ENGLE accelerated to 40mph in a 30 limit. Officer followed, where they witnessed him contravene solid whites & crash into an oncoming vehicle. 1/3

The Grenfell Tower Public Inquiry has published its final report. The Met's criminal investigation remains ongoing. We'll be thorough and diligent while moving as swiftly as possible. We owe that to those who died and all those affected by the tragedy. news.met.police.uk/news/met-respo…

The Grenfell report is even more damning than you might expect. If it doesn't lead to corporate manslaughter charges, then you have to wonder if that law is fit for purpose at all. theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

@ChaponaBike123 @dailytelegraph @dailytelegraph why don’t you report real crime. Like this roadpeace.org/new-report-hig… or doesn’t near 800 people seriously injured or kill by Hit and Run in London alone, is not enough ?

What a surprise. More anti-cycling diatribe from @dailytelegraph. Off to press complaints we go again. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08/3…

@edwardlamb That’s a long way to find a post box.

28,031 people were seriously injured in road crashes in 2022. That is about 77 people each day - all needing expert emergency @PoliceChiefs, @NFCC_FireChiefs @NHSEngland @AACE_org interventions and ongoing #NHS care. Rarely do we read about the consequences of these crashes on individuals in our media, but we know from data that serious neck, back, chest, limb, and head injuries are most common. These often cause life limiting and life long changes. This is brave from Freddie Flintoff @DailyMirror and shows us the devastation caused to thousands of people following largely avoidable road crashes. He says that he “genuinely should not be here after what happened” and “I need to stop crying every two minutes.” Along the road to recovery there are significant physical and psychological challenges. Thank you to Freddie for adding a voice to literally tens of thousands of people who often do not have one. Road crashes are largely avoidable and so are deaths and serious injuries. They are rarely “accidental” as reported by much of the media. @Keir_Starmer @LouHaigh @LilianGreenwood promise a much overdue Strategy to stop road crime and road death / serious injury. The last Strategy was in 2000 and I look forward to the new one - decades late, but welcome nevertheless. #stoproaddeath #talkaboutroaddeath #visionzero

@gazza_d it's all these new fan dangle automatic thingies... Cars and bikes are now driverless/riderless.. just going about doing their thing. Colliding with each other.

@ChaponaBike123 @chausseedeforme It’s not the obstruction, it’s crossing the solid white line when the light is red. Hardest part is to prove the light was red and they have time to stop. On the left of these boxes is a dotted line from the cycle lane permitting the cyclist to enter.

@chausseedeforme If they enter the cycle box on a red light AND thus prevent cyclists getting into it safely, police will take action. It only works if there’s evidence of a cyclist that can’t get into the cycle box as they’ve obstructed it.

16 dead across 6 incidents that claimed the lives of kids & left others seriously injured - just a tiny part of the orgy of death on the UK's roads over the weekend. It's time @UKLabour took road violence seriously. #UnacknowledgedEverydayMotoringTerrorism

@CitizenUddin @IanMSpencer @metpoliceuk In MET land I always thought it was a local council issue unless it was dangerous parking. (That’s what it is in some places)

Parked this morning, on a route that is normally full of school children. @IanMSpencer if this is not obstruction?, I don't know what is I will report to @metpoliceuk. It will be interesting to see if they take action or not.

@FietserGlasgow I remember a road in Brentwood, allowed cars through (no parking) they stopped the traffic. Shop owners complained that less people went. So they opened it back up (still not allowed to park) road open or closed, all cars used the car park.

Every time I see businesses moaning like this I remember when I lived in York; EVERY shop asked me to sign their petition against pedestrianisation. It went ahead & business boomed as a direct result. Shopkeepers are the worst people to ask about street design, they're clueless.

@katefeetie The mattress the pillow is on?

we stayed at an air bnb with the most perfect pillows. a revelation. perfectly firm but soft. my neck stopped hurting. so I wrote down the brand and item number from the tag and looked it up and they're the same pillows we have at home

@WallacePJW Death Race 2000 vibes

Anyone else slightly concerned at the direction of Aston Martin’s design lately?😅

@ediz1975 @DesertfoxXx98 @MarkBoy41386619 It’s like comparing a Tesla and a petrol driven vehicle. The delivery driver is on an illegal battery powered motorbike. The other is petrol driven motorbike. Both have pedals but their mode of power is different. Neither need pedal assist to keep moving. Both are motorbikes.

@Travis_M @DesertfoxXx98 @MarkBoy41386619 You’re showing me something completely different…. Why would you do that ?

A child is hit by a cyclist jumping a red light ….. Lobby members are pushing for this action to be legal…. You MUST stop at red lights …. It’s for safety …. This poor child payed the price for this reckless behavior by this cyclist. Truly disgusting….
