An untrained and unlicensed pedestrian almost causes an accident at a zebra crossing

@roodave Just mentioned this to my wife earlier today, will weed out the AI users vs the students that really know their stuff

Returning to physical, no device, tests and exams as the primary basis of assessment is the “fix everything switch” for education vs AI and cheating services

Motorists out here crashing into shit, flipping cars over in residential streets, destroying public infrastructure and killing people on a regular basis, yet cyclists are "the most hated" because some of them don't stop at a specific zebra crossing in London. 👉 motonormativity.

@kfullermusic Oy my 25kg e-bike + 70kg rider (me) could do that sort of damage 🤔

Musta been uh e-bikes.

@fictillius @taipan168 Sweet chili an (un)sour cream

Is there anything you can’t put chilli crisp on?

@bambul Sounds about as fast as the XPT! 😂

Heading to Melbourne for a few days. Hoping to check out the Metro Tunnel and the viaducts from the level crossing removal program while I’m there. I nabbed a promotional $10 bus ticket on new operator Flix and doing the overnight bus. 1/🧵

@NYPostOpinion "We prefer dangerous streets" is a surprisingly common worldview. This op-ed is a reminder not to put safety improvements up for a yes/no vote.

So many people just drop their electric scooter where they feel like it and then you have to walk around. So annoying.

@fictillius Was obviously due to a separated cycleway 2 blocks away

Damn e-bikes

@retrobike_c16 A separated cycleway 2 blocks away caused this

Ban e-bikes now!

Counterpoint: we price and regulate all vehicles according to max crash force (~KE=1/2M*V^2), road wear (axle weight^4) and externalities (noise and air pollution, injuries and deaths). Vehicles have wildly divergent risk profiles and we should account for that.

Good morning @TransportforNSW @TrainsInfo Can we please not do this Kind regards, The travelling public and those with vision problems

Multi modal trip today: cycled to Macquarie Park metro station, metro to Central, light rail to UNSW High Street. So seamless...who said people don't like to interchange modes??

That David Attenborough: Cycled all over the North to collect fossils in his youth. Hates using cars and doesn't have a driving licence. Cycles when he can (see quote). The dominant culture would suggest that's the picture of a loser who won't achieve much in a life.

Good afternoon Hong Kong 🇭🇰
