@Shrews_Tyke @tesla_jokes Never see vehicles crushed for running red lights so why should cyclists?

@tesla_jokes Not only that they should have their bikes confiscated and crushed.

Should cyclists get fined for going through red lights in the UK 🇬🇧 ? Can they even ban you from cycling?

British ultra-cyclist Alex McCormack has taken human endurance to an extreme by covering an astonishing 3,826.47 km in just 7 days. An average 18.5 hrs in the saddle each day covering, 600km. Stunning performance #ukcyclechat

@danielmgmoylan The Driver couldn’t wait the 5 seconds behind the cyclist to turn into station? That’s what normal people do. Would the Merc driver do that to a bus? A lorry? Absolutely not, so why do it to a cyclist?

A cyclist had to use his brakes.

@leeandrew43 @JeremyVineOn5 @PCBarnes123 @AnjuSolankiMEA @theJeremyVine You’re still in charge of the vehicle whilst stationary. The issue is that it’ll give you 6 points and a fine.

"For once, Jeremy, you did the right thing here." The panel react to footage of Jeremy's run-in with a taxi driver using his phone at the wheel, which attracted the ire of Baroness Kate Hoey. @PCBarnes123 | @AnjuSolankiMEA | @theJeremyVine | #JeremyVine

@scottroots Crickey hope he’s recovered #ukcyclechat

@UKCycleChat It’s a really tricky one. A helmets benefit unfortunately depends on the type of accident. My son had a nasty, he ended up with over 100 stiches in his face, largely from the helmet band and straps. However, the helmet prevented his brains from being ejected on the road…

The Irish Government is planning new road-safety rules that would make wearing a helmet mandatory for cyclists, including people using e-bikes. Although no start date is confirmed. Is this a sensible approach? #ukcyclechat

Wishing each and everyone a very Merry Christmas. We hope that there are bikes or bike gifts under your tree this Christmas! #ukcyclechat

@andrei_0927 @Thebestfigen The cyclist is turning right so he was in the correct position to do so.

Packaging up the first batch of sales of Eat Sleep Cycle now that the inserts in memory of Tim have arrived. If you want to buy a copy of the book, you can order it here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… This is how I met Tim in the first place, because he read my book 🩵

@johnbrace @SaferRoadsYorks For starters cyclists know that no one pays road tax. Cyclists know that there are 000’s of motorists without insurance every day. 000’s of Cyclists have voluntarily purchased insurance to ride their bikes.

@SaferRoadsYorks Cyclists need to stop blaming motorists and take ownership for their often very poor actions. Cyclists pay no road tax, have no insurance yet demand every privilege. So many cyclists continue to play the victim. Most cyclists also drive so how many fail their own standards?

This Mondeo driver will soon find out you must leave at least 1.5m of space even if a cyclist is in a bike lane. Because they were well over 30mph, it should be more. A Notice of Intended Prosecution for driving without due care and consideration will be on it's way.

@Topblokegolf @but_cyclists @scrubbedlaunch Do you pay for motorways then? Seeing as they’re only for vehicles.

@but_cyclists @scrubbedlaunch What makes sense is if your want your own private lanes then pay to use them . No qualms about them using the roads that are already there for everyone .

Why not just keep roads as they are and give cyclists a separate, safe space? 🤯

@_VN5 Good hoped, what was the driver thinking that this was acceptable? #ukcyclechat

Which team am I reporting this to? Allegations or collisions?

@ChaponaBike123 @KingstonCycling There’s some like this near mye in Chichester and they’re terrible. I’ve been accused of riding the wrong way down the street! To drivers coming out of a junction and not checking #ukcyclechat

Why design cycle lanes like this? Sooner or later, someone will be squished. :( @KingstonCycling

Cycling hive? Does anyone know where this route came from? I found it on Facebook in memories and it's a 6 day mountain bike route, but that's all I can remember #cycling #ukcyclechat #mtb #bikeadventures #Wales @UKCycleChat @UKMTB_Chat

@colinmichaelha5 @MikeyCycling Actually the driver got himself the sack, he chose to use his phone. Woukd you have said the same had it been the police who caught him? Doubt it.

@MikeyCycling Yet again you little pip squeak you have got someone the sack !!! Somewhere someone will give you what you deserve!!!!!!!

Now that is how a responsible company deals with their driver caught using the phone. I've pinned the comment and I have respect for this approach.

Question. Is a heavy sugar intake ok to your body if you burn it off by exercise?

Morning! 🌅 Weather's on the change 🤔 Final push today. Question is, can I get to Swansea before the *rain 🌧🚴‍♂️🤞#TransCymru #TC2025 #bikepacking #cycling #ukcyclechat * I've done it twice before & 🚴‍♂️0️⃣ v 🌧2️⃣ 😬

I've been doing some calculations this morning. As I've already done the TOB tour and done 852.5km, by the time I've done this ride as well, by the end of Sept, I'll have done over 1,400km. That's a massive 30% of what I've already achieved since Jan 1st this year 🤯 #cycling
