Residents hit out at council after emails show officials disregarding locals’ opposition to removal of LTN as “concerted response from cyclists”: Newcastle cllrs attributed negative response against decision to the “cycling lobby”, an FOI revealed. road.cc/308529

In severe danger of missing my flight from Oslo to Heathrow thanks to my substandard U.K. passport. Europeans are gliding through. Thank you Brexiters, you utter load of stupid, selfish, ignorant bastards.

In a low-car city, human traffic flourishes in the gigantic gap left by the motor traffic; enlivening streets with activities all but extinct elsewhere. This paradox fascinates and invigorates us: rarely can you experience urban places so serene, yet simultaneously full of life.

Culture warriors, populist politicians, and clickbait media, wield the term “cyclist” like a weapon to denigrate, dehumanize, and marginalize decent, regular people. All based on nothing more than the fact that they sometimes ride a bike. It’s pretty disgusting.

@Pflax1 Oh, you're a cyclist. All of a sudden it makes sense!

@PeterStuart3 Exactly right. Deliberate distortion of risks for cheap populism. The Times: paper of record? Don't make me laugh

@JJHutch82 Yes and since this pantomime another 30 deaths caused by motorists. Utterly absurd distortion of risks.

I wonder if he's met the 1700+ families whose lives have been ruined as loved ones have been killed by drivers? Some who's punishment is no more then losing their licence and community service? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Today I met with Matt Briggs, an inspiring campaigner against dangerous cycling, in memory of his late wife, Kim. Thanks to Matt for tirelessly highlighting this issue. I will continue to work with him and @MPIainDS so we have sensible penalties in place.

Car Journeys Up In 2023 With Bus And Bicycle Journeys Down, Reports U.K. Department For Transport forbes.com/sites/carltonr… Why is road congestion so bad? No, it’s not slow cyclists—or even impossibly-fast 52mph ones—it’s all of the cars, silly.

@edwardlucas @thetimes Like to share this message from Professor Anna Lawson to @RishiSunak @10DowningStreet on the issue of floating bus stops & thank you for raising concerns on them. We handed in our petition last Wednesday which has the support of 270+ supporting organisations from across the UK.
NFBUK@NFBUK

Professor Anna Lawsons message to @RishiSunak @10DowningStreet @TransportCttee on 15 May 2024 ‘It’s excluding people & it is locking us out of buses. How ever accessible buses are it is no good if we can’t reach them. Buses are our lifeline, to work, to social life, to inclusion’

@CatioMiles @edwardlucas @thetimes It clearly isn't balanced is it. It grotesquely distorts the relative threats from cyclists vs motorists. 110 cyclists killed by motorists last year vs 1-2 deaths pa caused by cyclists.

Anti-cycling Columns for Dummies: 1. Include references to “men in Lycra”. 2. Claim to be a cyclist yourself. 3. Don’t mention that 100 pedestrians die after being hit by a car for every 1 who dies after being hit by a cyclist.

When is the Tory government enacting a law against dangerous jogging? Ian Duncan-Smith already on the case, I assume.

If number plates are so effective, why do drivers kill 600 pedestrians and cyclists every year? Men like Simon Heffer are ridiculous.
