@KentRangerGaz Hi Gary. The front and rear bars on your GSD’s clubhouse are in the wrong places. The one currently at the front has two little ‘pips’ on the underside. They are designed to help keep the rear seatpad back from sliding side to side. (nb The side rails are in the correct position)

If you’ve not already discussed this with every one, already today.. it’s really hot. Tomorrow is going to be hotter. Then it’s going to rain. #yourewelcome

@ambrosen Tortillas are just a little to foreign perhaps? Crackers are so much more respectable.. no?

@islasutherland1 @dmoneye @peterframpton @DemSchmoozer That is tragic. But with guns mostly removed we have far fewer children murdered. Knife deaths per million per annum UK=3.2 US=4.9 So almost identical knife/sharps murder numbers. Guns per million per annum US=34 UK= 0.5 so the UK has likely removed 2000 gun deaths per year.

@lukeludwell @dmoneye @peterframpton @DemSchmoozer theguardian.com/membership/201… Not "in the classroom" But either on the way to or home from school is when most get assulted according to a government study. This article is from 2017. In 2021 30 teenagers were stabbed to death in London. Far too many

26 years ago, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of O school shootings in the UK. #Uvalde

@islasutherland1 @dmoneye @peterframpton @DemSchmoozer And how many innocent children were killed in classrooms by this ‘rampant’ knife crime!?

@dmoneye @peterframpton @DemSchmoozer Well it's not really a nice story though is it. But you are sort of right in what your saying. Yeah we may have gun control but now we have high knife crime. 41,000 crimes in england and wales by end of march 2021 with either a knife or sharp object.

@WithCrabs @mjcarrabine @bikelaneuprise @Porsche @DesplainesBkLn @AldReilly You want bikes on the sidewalk? Where do pedestrians then go to avoid cycles and scooters? On your front lawn?

So this @Porsche delivery thinks I’m going to move so they can unload in the @DesplainesBkLn They are wrong. It’s a nice ass day and I got nowhere to be. @AldReilly

@WjPhat @pjcgroupbath @SaskiaHeijltjes Sometimes when it’s really really wet I don’t cycle. I don’t use my garden when it’s really wet. I don’t swim in the ocean in winter/ use my central heating in summer. I’ll let you into a little secret #cyclists own cars.. they just use them less frequently Oh & rain coats exist.

@pjcgroupbath @SaskiaHeijltjes @lukeludwell WOW transportation solved until it gets cold or rains

@johnpavlovitz Electric Grifter.

Name this music act.

@hejaro14 @Ride4Truth @DL7010 Reality is that there just isn’t much stuff in the reduced pile. When there is it’s often at the end of the day -not when old & disabled folk are out shopping. Surprising how many ‘well-off’ folk love a bargain. I never buy from the reduced section. Leave it for those in need.

An elderly man just came up to me in Sainsburys. He wanted to show me the items he usually buys. Some have gone up by 100% in a month, he says. He looked like he was about to cry. 😢

@2wheelsnot4 @Tif89 Flag the hedge on Fix my street.

@wevegotwheels I am always amazed how middle class folk don’t want LTNs and liveable streets, want verges hedgerows and trees ripped out for more car storage but then love to go on holiday to centre-parks. The disconnect is astonishing.

Also the wildlife. Manicured by rabbits and deer. We’ve had robins on our balcony and there are so many different types of corvid. I’m sat next to an open window now still listening to the birds. ❤️ Everything is better at 8mph and a good amount of greenery.

@Chutzpah84 Fabulous!

Not normally one for a selfie but I'm in love with our new solar panels. Installed today and already running the house. Still two left to install on the main roof and batteries to come.

@bikeshopgirlcom That’s not a bike rack. It’s a loop to hitch your horse on to.. or maybe a place to leave your dog. Not a bike rack though. Look at those sharp edges - far to hazardous for bicycle paint to be pressed against.

@spongymullet @Jontafkasi Brooks double rails. NJS narrow rails SDG single rail. Oval rails, direct mount BMX saddles (no rails) etc etc..

@CitizenW0lf @EndCarCulture Most people spend more time on the toilet than cycling as they don’t cycle ever. Either way the toilet is probably not all that dangerous compared with cycling but equally cycling isn’t dangerous compared with many other things we don’t perceive as dangerous. #ToiletHelmetsNow 😉

@EndCarCulture @lukeludwell I spent far far far far far far far far more time cycling than on the toilet. Approx 5min per day 🚽 vs approx 2.5 hours per day 🚴‍♀️. Jeez, either people don't cycle much, or they're seriously constipated. lol 😋

Some of the things that kill more people than cyclists each year. 🧵…

@Bishop0151 @jakeyc @XRNorthampton @EndCarCulture There is a significant number of trousered put on daily. I don’t know how many lightning strikes there are daily.. probably not too many. But that said the media does love reporting a lighting strike.. hard to vilify the lightning though. ~I’ll reiterate: cycling is safe enough.

@lukeludwell @jakeyc @XRNorthampton @EndCarCulture It no more disingenuous that the oft repeated claim/implication that cyclists are injuring/killing people left, right, and centre. How much time does the average person spend getting hit by lightening, or putting trousers on?

@EndCarCulture Understood. #ManBitesDog

@lukeludwell It’s giving some context of how people riding bikes aren’t the “menace” that the anti-cycling media and folk want everyone to believe. Yes, people do spend more time having a shit than cycling on a whole globally, but each and every death by toilet isn’t front page outrage.

@XRNorthampton @EndCarCulture Toilets dogs escalators. As an example 50% of all head injuries happen in a car But being in a car is quite safe. In the UK per time travelled you are a smidge more likely to suffer a head injury walking vs cycling &less likely in a car. Cycling still isn’t dangerous of it self.

@lukeludwell @EndCarCulture Apart from going to bed, which of this list is done by more people, more regularly and for longer periods of time than cycling?!
