Cycling in London - it's awesome!

@incogles @LewisCarter5 @owenjonesjourno I wouldn’t expect you to have to grapple with his knife to get it off him (injuring yourself in the process). Neither would I expect a police officer to.

@sw19cam @LewisCarter5 @owenjonesjourno If you're too much of a weakling to break his grip how you're supposed to, you smash his hand, not his head, genius.

Hold on - what? If police officers think someone might be carrying explosives, protocol is to kick them in the head repeatedly like this? Is that actual police protocol? If so, how is it a wise police protocol? Can someone explain the reasoning?

@MSTR_Contender @LewisCarter5 @owenjonesjourno What was the more effective and fast way of doing it then?:) asking him nicely? :)

@sw19cam @LewisCarter5 @owenjonesjourno It looked so nice effect that 3 men at the same time took minutes to get the knife out of his hand Wow

Woops, fell back in to replying to something on Twitter when Twitter is a massive waste of time and the least effective way to discuss nuanced / real situations.

@LewisCarter5 @owenjonesjourno Looks the most effective way to get his knife from him to be fair. It’s never going to be a nice situation - a guy stabbing people isn’t going to give up his knife on a gentleman’s head nod. At the point of having to use the taser I’m afraid it looks proportional to me…

@owenjonesjourno I think it’s an effective way to stop the threat. I think it’s an effective way of stopping the male getting back up to continue stabbing people.

For a couple of hundred metres I felt like I was in the Netherlands… (Norwich to Wymondham).

@LozzaFox I think we’re happy for you to go and live in Russia to be closer to them . Ciao! :)

I’d rather fight for Russia against you and your corrupt communist regime. Any day of the week.

A really good start to Westbound cycle track along Romford Road.

@SamsonAk7 @hoxtonwanka Red arrows

did anyone else hear what was presumably a fighter plane going over SE London?

It was all a bit tight on the Silvertown tunnel cycle shuttle. ( but it was a great experience as the driver was so friendly and chatty!)

It’s a bit of a beast to cycle. Loving it.

Cargo bike hire in Switzerland.

I must have emailed @NewhamLondon 50 times about this pavement parking. Someone is going to get hurt allowing LGVs and pedestrians (and cyclists) to rub shoulders.

I recently got stopped & ticketed by the City of London Police for, & I kid you not, “cycling no handed”. Even though it’s clearly not an offence, the officer said they were ticketing me under the Human Rights Act as I was infringing other people’s Article 2 ‘Right to Life’, in case I fell off & injured them: utterly bonkers stuff. With bicycle theft basically legalised in the City due to the complete failure of the Police to bother investigating such thefts & people being regularly terrorised in London by e-bike phone muggers, it’s good to see the City of London Police concentrating the resources on what really matters.

Guess where?

Saw this death-waiting to happen double trailer earlier - swinging all over the place. Eugh. *shudder*

I don’t understand people who keep the window shade down on a plane. We’re 35 thousand feet in the sky. You don’t want to check out the view? We’re above the freaking clouds, for God’s sake. Humans could only dream of a view like this for millennia. And you have the shade down.

If sections weren’t continually closed, Canning Town cycle tracks would be so good!

@WhiteHouse @VP Zelensky dOeSnT dReSS pRoPeR in WhItE hOuSe

A VERY UGLY exchange by Trump and JD Vance towards Zelensky at the WH **Watch the entire segment for context** ***Disgusting , absolutely disgusting** (10 minutes)

@FearedBuck we’re at step 3 again btw 🙏🏼
