Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums.

Or moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space. 

It's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?

@thameswater I know those guys have a hard job and have to change the site as the project moves. But a lot of mornings it seems like things are adjusted for cars to pass safely but not cyclists. I've almost been hit by cars several times at this point by the works forcing me into traffic.

[Blade @Blade_94]

Hey @thameswater, this is how people get killed. I know the mains in Mile End need to be fixed, but parking giant industrial vehicles in an active traffic lane with and forcing westbound traffic into the oncoming eastbound lanes with no signage or controls is NOT the way.

[Blade @Blade_94]

@thameswater I mean, I have a litany of issues. The biggest one being that contractors have not set up cones around this loading bay, which is the only re-entry point for cyclists.

Could you communicate to the Murphy team the importance of not allowing the cycle lane to be blocked.

[Blade @Blade_94]

@thameswater With apologies for the late reply, this is a Thames Water project. Grateful if you could please relay as appropriate to the contractor and safety manager.

Project is "Mile End Road trunk mains project" on your website.

@deepanshu_s @criticalurban This only applies if the cyclist is also turning left.

Your final picture militates against your point because it actually admonishes motorists to watch for traffic on their left before executing the turn.

[Blade @Blade_94]

@criticalurban Indicator ≠ right of way.

I slow down to avoid the collision then just send dashcam to the Met. I stay safe. They learn an important lesson without harm or confrontation.

@Fremond_ That grocery store (HEB) is a Texas chain. One of their USPs is their assortment of pre-sliced produce. This is a box of cut up lettuce pieces specifically for hamburgers, which grill often.

Just out of frame will be regular heads of lettuce and bags of salad mix like at Tesco

@thameswater Hey there, yes, it was 10:10am today at Cable.Beams.Glow.

[Blade @Blade_94]

@criticalurban @legalizetrains And what about the other 60%?

[Blade @Blade_94]

@legalizetrains @criticalurban I.e., of course you can say "well what about LONGER trips?!?" But those aren't the trips most cycling advocates reference, because we also drive those.

[Blade @Blade_94]

@legalizetrains @criticalurban @legalizetrains I think that's a fine counterargument to a suggestion to build a bike lane stretching from Houston to Dallas. Most of these discussions have to do with commuter and local lanes for commuting and local trips, which in context are shorter trips.

[Blade @Blade_94]

@criticalurban @legalizetrains I love the juxtaposition of trying to prove your proposition using median data with your totally non-median experience

[Blade @Blade_94]

@CroyyTarterr @GarethM79 @VisionZeroWY The Highway Code actually does encourage cyclists to pull over if traffic is building behind them!

If they don't though, well, hope you've got something nice going on the radio.

@VeoliaUK Can't DM you as I don't have premium, but happy to DM you more details if you could start the process.

[Blade @Blade_94]

Hey @VeoliaUK - any chance you could remind this driver that those double dashed white lines mean "give way?"

@DeaconAlexisR @ExxAlerts 1) There is no bike lane
2) Motorists are allowed to pass cyclists on double yellows in Georgia
3) Riding in that formation reduces the distance required to pass the entire group

The best way to find typos is to reread the draft you’ve already circulated.

@david_stillwell That's less than 3% annualized. Between inflation and interest she's selling at a real loss.
