@BriSmithy @JohanBruyneel Why?

[Harry Johnson @HarryJCycling]

@jenkszy @Bikery1966 Massive cost to tax payer? Hindering commutes? Sounds like cars to me!

[Harry Johnson @HarryJCycling]

@BrakeFast_Club @CycleOrpington Do race tracks not have the same weather as normal roads…?

[Harry Johnson @HarryJCycling]

@BrakeFast_Club @CycleOrpington Race tracks get resurfaced regularly at huge cost and with much more expensive materials, not really a fair comparison

British Cycling receives record £39m funding for 2028 Olympics and Paralympics https://t.co/Lpv6ja8k3W

@MartinMurphy72 @BobFromAccounts The population has only risen in total by about 1.5m since 2021, not sure what that 5m is referencing.

[Harry Johnson @HarryJCycling]

@MartinMurphy72 @BobFromAccounts I agree, the UK has had abnormally quick growth.

But the problem isn’t too many people, it’s not having adequate means to transport them around.

Not only is it more humane than deporting millions of people, it’s easier, cheaper and safer.

[Harry Johnson @HarryJCycling]

@MartinMurphy72 @BobFromAccounts That population increase isn’t impossible to manage, many places on earth are more densely populated.

The problem is that we don’t have adequate means on transporting those people around without everyone sitting on a motorway for hours or paying £500 for a train

[Harry Johnson @HarryJCycling]

@shannow357 @BobFromAccounts You drive. No one sensible is arguing that cars shouldn’t be used under any circumstance. It’s about reducing the amount of unnecessary car journeys by providing better alternatives. So less cars on the road

@DanBiggles22 Can’t wait to watch Pogacar win up Mont Ventoux on a Colnago TT with road bars in a few years time

@writebikerepeat Whilst it’s devastating that the UK scene is left with no Conti teams, a fresh slate to start from again without Saint Piran can only be good.

The only damage done to “sponsorship opportunities” for SP was done by themselves and dragged the rest of the scene down too.

@adamharridence @BenjiNaesen @sigmasports This sounds sick

[Harry Johnson @HarryJCycling]

@c_dodson_thatch @BobFromAccounts @curttayloruk That’s not an SUV?

[Harry Johnson @HarryJCycling]

@NairoInGreen “Stop making sports political” = “I don’t like their politics”

[Harry Johnson @HarryJCycling]

@CYCLING_SHEFF Great moves for all of them, we’ll be chatting about this on the pod next week!

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

🚨 BREAKING: Thames Water is pressuring the government to allow it to increase bills by 40% by 2030 - while also lobbying for LOWER FINES and continuing shareholder DIVIDENDS.

Why should water companies be let off the hook for failure?

SHOCKING FACT: If you earned £30,000 a day from when Jesus was born to the present day, you would still not make as much as Shell did in profits last year.

We know there's much talk about the decline of the British road scene but today two of our guys returned from a National B road race both stating they felt that their lives were put in danger. What are you actually doing to manage this sport and protect us @BritishCycling
