Mike on a bike

@CycleSad Really useful - thanks very much! Immediately found a much less intimidating route

Any hints or tips for finding out how cycle-able a road route is likely to be? Planning a stay in the Cotswolds and want to get train to Swindon then cycle out of the city and north up the A361 to the place I'm staying but from google maps it looks absolutely lethal

@clairesweeney @theJeremyVine @Roblox The excellent @PeopleMakeGames did two in depth video investigations on Roblox, well worth a watch for any parents whose kids are playing it: youtu.be/_gXlauRB1EQ

Parents out there, anyone’s kids play Roblox? Yesterday my son was playing, and I saw on the chat in the corner,someone was asking him to go to my purse,take out my credit card and read the numbers!! @Roblox seems a dangerous place for kids. Thankfully he told me!

@GruntledT @anneramsey740 @CarFreeRoutes Or driving!

@cycling_tiley @anneramsey740 @CarFreeRoutes That magistrate shouldn’t be sitting

@gazza_d @DriftInnovation I had the same cam that died in a light rain shower, was told it wasn't covered by the warranty despite 'fine to use in the rain' being plastered all over the site. Won't be using their products again.

@ReadingCouncil You continue to pretend that the R50 from Tilehurst is a cycle route - it is just roads, no infra, no signs, not even a token outline bike painted on the road

Why can't we have nice things too? 😭

@rdgchronicle Completely agree, so much potential for good infrastructure and the benefits to the town and surrounding areas could be huge

Do you agree? readingchronicle.co.uk/news/20176188.…

@CyclingReading @WokinghamBC I wonder how many Sheffield stands the council could buy with that cash instead 🤔

What a great way to encourage car use 🙄, what’s the give away for active travel? Disappointed my council tax is being used to subsidise car use 😕. @WokinghamBC you are better than this!

@Dylillama @metpoliceuk @markandcharlie @theJeremyVine This looks the same as the @tvprp form where you submit and they contact you later via email with a link to upload the footage. Keep an eye on your junk folder as the follow up email can often end up in there by mistake

@cahil91 @sheffbicycle @CyclingInASkirt @SheffCouncil I was victim/witness in court a few months ago for close pass followed by ASL infraction - magistrates didn't know what an ASL was and the prosecutor didn't point out that it was an offence to enter one on a red. Can't take personally but I was just so disappointed by the system

@sheffbicycle @CyclingInASkirt £100 fine and 3 points, money in the bank @SheffCouncil

Completely unnecessary. One of @CyclingInASkirt's favourite junctions.

@ReadingCouncil @livingstreets That's great to hear, and thank you for the link.

@cycling_tiley @livingstreets Hi Mike. We are actively encouraging more schools to sign up, but ultimately it is down to individual schools to decide if they want to apply and we support them to enable it to happen. For more details see rdguk.info/yf6Qv

Day 4 of @livingstreets #WalkToSchoolWeek2022 By making the change to active travel 🚶🏿‍♂️ 🛴🚴🏻‍♂️ we can all make a difference and help 'Save the Planet' #PowerUp Link: rdguk.info/LivingStreets_…

Happened to be driving along one of my usual cycle routes this morning and saw a cyclist lying in the road being treated by ambulance crew. Not clear what happened but it was a really stark reminder of how vulnerable we are out there when cycling. I hope they are ok.

@BerkshireCyc Even the token bits that do exist are totally substandard from what I've seen since moving here. I really hope this cyclist is ok.

I hope the cyclist makes a full recovery. This stretch of road is awful to ride on. Reading lacks any decent infrastructure. getreading.co.uk/news/reading-b…

@StewCElliott @readingcycle @Sustrans @WestBerkshire @WBerksCons @ReadingCouncil @CrippledCyclist This is really useful, thanks for sharing!

I had an experience that really shook me up today [and no, it wasn't a certain politician trying to discredit my whole career because of my politics 🤣, that's not even surprising any more] so I wrote about it here 👇 jksteinberger.medium.com/the-kids-are-n…

@ActiveTravelNet @GWRHelp Agreed, makes me wonder how many other stations on their network claim to have cycle parking but don't. I've seen a couple of stations with racks under the walkway and seems such an easy win use for that space.

Hey @GWRHelp your website says that Tilehurst station has bike parking, but it's lockers that are all rented out long term. Over 100 car parking spaces but nowhere to put a bike. Any chance of some stands under the walkway to enable #activetravel?

@GWRHelp Thanks for logging, but in that case @GWRHelp you should probably stop advertising on your website that there is bike parking at the station as it gives the impression that people could ride to the station and safely lock up their bikes, but they can't

@cycling_tiley HI Mike, we're not aware of any immediate plans for this, but feedback has been recorded about this for stations teams to use when planning station improvements - Phil
