@CraigShetesmith @BBCBristol Ok, interesting point, not something I particularly understand it seems!

[Tom Bugs @BugBrand]

@CraigShetesmith @BBCBristol Agreed, but while the system desparately tires to declog after decades of motor focus, we do need individual change too - eg. you're smart enough to use motorbike for your commute 👍Perhaps it's media skew, but I rarely hear of people making changes to sidestep daily congestion.

[Tom Bugs @BugBrand]

@CraigShetesmith @BBCBristol Agreed, but the point -> how do we change behaviour to reduce the number of low occupancy vehicles? How to promote car sharing for example? Sticking with a congestion focused system doesn't always get people to work on time either & doesn't promote good mental/physical health.

[Tom Bugs @BugBrand]

@CraigShetesmith @BBCBristol Riding a motorbike is a positive solution - quick & efficient, relatively affordable. One of the main issues with cars is how many are single occupancy - no wonder so many areas are clogged! It's an expensive & inefficient system - too many wedded to it, but alternatives needed!

@NoContextBrits Good podcast history I listened to this week which mentioned the scourge of grave robbing &, thus, such precautions.

@M1J5556 @beardedjourno Hey, surprisingly, I also see things day to day ;)
In agreement that cyclists riding through red lights can be well twatty - but to state 'most' (idiotic).
My daily observations also spot:
Pedestrians not looking
Motorists being pure dangerous
See your narrowness yet?

[Tom Bugs @BugBrand]

@M1J5556 @beardedjourno Your reply just highlights your narrow view ;)
Why do you feel that you have to vent your hatred in such a peversely ignorant manner?
The wider scheme is about investment in public & active travel, something the city & country need.
Positive investment 👍

@TristanCorkPost @LGSpace @BristolCouncil @bristolgreen Not sure at all T - my brother has been managing wildlife meadows for a decade plus & most have been cut recently with hay removed (ie nutrients removed) - this is one part of effective management.

[Tom Bugs @BugBrand]

@EdPlowden @BristolCouncil @BristolCycling It's much clearer - though a real shame that it didn't extend to the crossing at the south end of Broad Quay House on Prince St.
There's a narrowing slither of walkway next to the building so many pedestrians go down there & then come into conflict with the cycle lane!

[Tom Bugs @BugBrand]

@TristanCorkPost I thought it was a really interesting article - good to hear this viewpoint & be reminded of the many, fairly opaque aspects at play 👍

@TiceRichard Need an update of the late great Bill Hicks - remember him sucking on a microphone?
(many politicians could have benefited watching his performances)
Here we have Reform sucking on the fuel nozzle of big oil.

@TRESAcic @vpagbristol @EdPlowden @silaseton1 Got notification from 3 separate old neighbours this morning about it!
Amazing & about time too.
I moved the other side of the park so gave up pushing, but weirdly it'd popped to mind recently.

@melimoonshine @beardedjourno Please don't stoop to sweeping generalisations - it demeans such discourse.

[Tom Bugs @BugBrand]

@melimoonshine @beardedjourno That's a road (note the double yellow lines)
And please measure your tone.

@Redveee @char1iewatts Yeah, the fly tipping as you come down East Dundry Rd... 😬

@TristanCorkPost @InsideAirbnb @BristolLive 2yrs ago I'd noticed these new builds in the Dings - seemed a good spot for new housing.
But once finished, I was having a drink at the Barley Mow & noticed someone come up, phone in hand & find their way to a front door - turns out ALL had key boxes.
All built for AirBnB?! 💩

@blackfaurest @Cafeoto Oh, it'd be so nice if you brought Luke along to your Bristol show - I guess it won't be possible but say hello from Bugs & Chiz in Bristol!
