@Lisa_Smart I understand you want to drum up support but the amount of stuff we get from you through our letterbox is seriously astounding. You must have destroyed a whole forest in the last 2 weeks. Utterly ludicrous.

@UCI_MTB @MTBworldseries Apart from all the action you’re not going to show, which we will therefore miss

A WHOOP UCI @MTBworldseries calendar's staple: the Italian cathedral of speed! 💨 Val di Sole and its tifosi are ready to witness Cross-country and Downhill racing this weekend. 🔥 Don't miss any of the action! 🙌 #MTBWorldCup

@UCI_MTB It might be nice to see some highlights or something? No? You’d rather we weren’t able to watch the sport we love? This is why everyone says you’re doing a shit job.

Fastest in the Semis 👀 Loic Bruni and Val Höll head into today's Leogang finals in fine form 🔥 #MTBWorldCup

@monzo that’s a gimmick, and a rubbish one. If you can pay my money a day early, great. Just do it. Don’t pretend it’s fun and exciting by forcing me to play this stupid thing.

@TredzBikes I commonly do use an adblocker, but even with it enabled I only very, very rarely have problems with any other site — it definitely does not stop cookies from being set, in any case. Apart from your website.

@TredzBikes The way your website loads scripts triggers the ‘increased privacy protections’ mode in Safari, which stops it showing the cookie banner, etc. Screenshot is with no adblocker on, after clearing all website data. Clicking ‘Reduce privacy protections’ makes it work.

@TredzBikes the cookie banner and the cookies on your website don’t work and I can’t read reviews. I’m on iOS Safari, no ad blocker, no add-ons, I’ve never seen the cookie banner. When I try to see reviews the ‘cookie settings’ button does nothing. Rubbish

@wonderfullyarty @neiljohnson1974 @SocEnvJustice Simply screaming “ableism” without offering anything valuable to the discussion isn’t really helpful either, so you shouldn’t be too surprised that I decide to stop replying at some point.

@wonderfullyarty @neiljohnson1974 @SocEnvJustice LTNs are not perfect, but they’re mostly well received and make a positive change for a lot of people. Active travel should be encouraged, this is their goal. Saying they should be scrapped altogether because there are problems is not helpful. Those problems should be fixed.

It’s 2024, we’re on X, and showing proof to the contrary of what one thinks equates to ignorance and aggression. The @SocEnvJustice want social and environmental justice! But not environmental really, they just don’t want LTNs but don’t want to admit that.

@wonderfullyarty @LRichieScott @Hopeful23SCT @SocEnvJustice @DisabledGreens @clrjoannawright @DisabilityFed @WinVisibleWomen @Sustrans @MikScarlet @DisabledAcadem @ZackPolanski You’re going up in arms and extrapolating everything I say with a goal to cause outrage. I’m not sure that’s a helpful way to have a discussion.

@froddd @LRichieScott @Hopeful23SCT @SocEnvJustice @DisabledGreens @clrjoannawright @DisabilityFed @WinVisibleWomen @Sustrans @MikScarlet @DisabledAcadem @ZackPolanski I thought you said what disabled p were experiencing was untrue? But now you’re backtracking rapidly. No apology for speaking OVER a disabled woman tho no? 🙄🤷‍♀️🤔#EcoAbleism #EcoExcluded #TakingTheUtterDis

@wonderfullyarty @LRichieScott @Hopeful23SCT @SocEnvJustice @DisabledGreens @clrjoannawright @DisabilityFed @WinVisibleWomen @Sustrans @MikScarlet @DisabledAcadem @ZackPolanski I’m not backtracking. I never said that. I said claiming that people are not allowed to drive in LTNs is untrue. There are of course other problems linked to LTNs, like increased traffic on other roads. But this is a problem caused by cars, not by the LTN.

@LRichieScott @Hopeful23SCT @wonderfullyarty @SocEnvJustice @DisabledGreens @clrjoannawright @DisabilityFed @WinVisibleWomen @Sustrans @MikScarlet @DisabledAcadem @ZackPolanski Those are good points, and show that, maybe, restricted LTNs are over the top? Most of the benefits of them could be achieved by simply preventing through running, in not sure there’s any point enforcing access, too.

@Hopeful23SCT @froddd @wonderfullyarty @SocEnvJustice @DisabledGreens @clrjoannawright @DisabilityFed @WinVisibleWomen @Sustrans @MikScarlet @DisabledAcadem @ZackPolanski If you rely on multiple people and multiple vehicles for transport, only 1 vehicle exemption is granted, all others will be charged. Due to the 5 day process, sudden changes cannot be granted exemption.

@LRichieScott @Hopeful23SCT @wonderfullyarty @SocEnvJustice @DisabledGreens @clrjoannawright @DisabilityFed @WinVisibleWomen @Sustrans @MikScarlet @DisabledAcadem @greenmattbfd @ZackPolanski If that isn’t the case for all LTNs then I stand corrected — and frankly appalled by that fact! What councils charge BB holders for entering LTNs then? That’s shameful.

@froddd @Hopeful23SCT @wonderfullyarty @SocEnvJustice @DisabledGreens @clrjoannawright @DisabilityFed @WinVisibleWomen @Sustrans @MikScarlet @DisabledAcadem @greenmattbfd @ZackPolanski Not quite true. There are instances of LTNs where blue badge holders will be charged for entering. Only blue badge holders living within the LTN are given an exemption.

@wonderfullyarty @SocEnvJustice @DisabledGreens @clrjoannawright @DisabilityFed @WinVisibleWomen @Sustrans @MikScarlet @LRichieScott @DisabledAcadem @greenmattbfd @ZackPolanski I suggested you should calm down as you were becoming visibly agitated by the discussion and started making stuff up about me. Do you live in an LTN?

@froddd @SocEnvJustice @DisabledGreens @clrjoannawright @DisabilityFed @WinVisibleWomen @Sustrans @MikScarlet @LRichieScott @DisabledAcadem @greenmattbfd @ZackPolanski You’ve repeatedly denied disabled ppl’s experiences, I asked if you did so to other discriminated against groups which you’ve ignored. You are displaying Ableism & speaking over disabled ppl & then telling a disabled woman to calm down. You did all that not me. 🤷‍♀️🤮🙄#EcoAbleism

@Hopeful23SCT @wonderfullyarty @SocEnvJustice @DisabledGreens @clrjoannawright @DisabilityFed @WinVisibleWomen @Sustrans @MikScarlet @LRichieScott @DisabledAcadem @greenmattbfd @ZackPolanski Why would they not be allowed to visit their friends? Blue badge holders are allowed to drive in LTNs.

@froddd @wonderfullyarty @SocEnvJustice @DisabledGreens @clrjoannawright @DisabilityFed @WinVisibleWomen @Sustrans @MikScarlet @LRichieScott @DisabledAcadem @greenmattbfd @ZackPolanski So the 30 plus car owners that live in the new private roads can drive out of them and polute less fortunate roads and continue to polute in the nimby private road, yet a disabled person wanting to visit their friend in that road, by car could be fined? Clearly bonkers.

@wonderfullyarty @SocEnvJustice @DisabledGreens @clrjoannawright @DisabilityFed @WinVisibleWomen @Sustrans @MikScarlet @LRichieScott @DisabledAcadem @greenmattbfd @ZackPolanski I tell anyone to calm down if they start suggesting I am anti LGBTQ+ or any other societal group, minority or not. You’re attempting to smear and cause outrage. I think it’s perfectly reasonable to ask you to calm down.

@froddd @SocEnvJustice @DisabledGreens @clrjoannawright @DisabilityFed @WinVisibleWomen @Sustrans @MikScarlet @LRichieScott @DisabledAcadem @greenmattbfd @ZackPolanski Don’t tell disabled women to calm down after suggesting disabled pls daily lived experiences are untrue. Another pro LTNer patronises & condescends to a disabled women & you wonder why #EcoAbleism is rising🙄🤷‍♀️😯#SmugCasualAbleism #TakingTheUtterDis

@wonderfullyarty @SocEnvJustice @DisabledGreens @clrjoannawright @DisabilityFed @WinVisibleWomen @Sustrans @MikScarlet @LRichieScott @DisabledAcadem @greenmattbfd @ZackPolanski Calm down and read my tweets again. I am making one, unique point: Saying people are not allowed to drive their car in an LTN is a lie. Do you disagree with this point?

@froddd @SocEnvJustice @DisabledGreens @clrjoannawright @DisabilityFed @WinVisibleWomen @Sustrans @MikScarlet @LRichieScott @DisabledAcadem @greenmattbfd @ZackPolanski Now trying to twist the daily experiences of disabled ppl to fit your narrative. Do you tell other discriminated groups of ppl that you know better than them about their lives? Or is it just disabled ppl you do that to? 🙄🤷‍♀️🤔

@wonderfullyarty @SocEnvJustice I’ve never said disabled people are liars. I’ve said “claiming people are not allowed to drive in LTNs” is a lie. Can you see the difference?

@froddd @SocEnvJustice If you’d read articles by diff REAL LIFE disabled ppl you’d know theres many issues. Instead you’ve immediately called disabled ppl liars. Nice. Just more evidence of rampant #EcoAbleism #EcoIgborance around inclusion, accessibility & equality by pro LTNers #TakingTheUtterDis

@wonderfullyarty @SocEnvJustice @DisabledGreens @clrjoannawright @DisabilityFed @WinVisibleWomen @Sustrans @MikScarlet @LRichieScott @flickhwilliams @DisabledAcadem @greenmattbfd @ZackPolanski If they were called No Traffic Neighbourhood your point would be valid, but they’re not. If you say people are not allowed to use their cars in an LTN, you are, indeed, a liar. You’re doing it, not me!

@froddd @SocEnvJustice @DisabledGreens @clrjoannawright @DisabilityFed @WinVisibleWomen @Sustrans Yet another cyclist pro LTNer calling g disabled ppl liars @MikScarlet @LRichieScott @flickhwilliams @DisabledGreens @DisabledAcadem @greenmattbfd @ZackPolanski See where the #EcoExclusion of BBH leads? Straight to ignorant, uninformed & offensive #EcoAbleism 🙄💔🤮🤷‍♀️
