@FidelUK @APPGCW @Sustrans @roadcc @activetraveleng @WeAreCyclingUK @livingstreets @Mark_J_Harper @LouHaigh Don't be stupid. That's a 3 card trick. 1. Create a hostile environment for cycling 2 wait for stagnant growth 3 announce that there's no point.

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. https://t.co/A7vqtBKXyn

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.

Climate science denial / anti-vax group @togetherdec found to be responsible for a wave of 'disinformation' around LTNs. Report by Demos found Together posted 27% (!) of online posts attacking LTNs in 2023. https://t.co/LlNXQmU4Zz

[Martyn Schmoll @martynschmoll]

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.

[alan tapp @AlanTapp]

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

I just signed the Time for Change petition calling on @UKGOV to improve the law and make England and Wales a hunting free zone. Will you sign too? https://t.co/hzo58awlXS via @38degrees

[alan tapp @AlanTapp]

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

Car Journeys Up In 2023 With Bus And Bicycle Journeys Down, Reports U.K. Department For Transport https://t.co/CluQBrL8H2 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.

@NFBUK @edwardlucas @thetimes @RishiSunak @10DowningStreet I always find it incredibly sad when one vulnerable road user group attacks another instead of addressing the overwhelming danger: motorists.

[alan tapp @AlanTapp]

@drewsnx @edwardlucas @thetimes According to these right wing hacks this will be a cyclist's fault I expect.

[alan tapp @AlanTapp]

@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.

[Peter Walker @peterwalker99]

Oh, hello, we're *aleady* at the number plates/registration stage of the latest moral panic about cycling.

[alan tapp @AlanTapp]

@bwebster135 4. Ignore drivers who run lights.
5. Ignore drivers who break speed limits
6. Ignore drinking drivers
7. Ignore drivers who ignore the two second rule
8....

[Carlton Reid @carltonreid]

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

[Jon Burke 🌍 @jonburkeUK]

If number plates are so effective, why do drivers kill 600 pedestrians and cyclists every year?

Men like Simon Heffer are ridiculous.
