@0kCorker @Streetfilms @NYCMayorsOffice @NYC_DOT @bfurnas @TransAltBX_Up Thanks for agreeing with me

[Michael Childers @MatDurh]

@0kCorker @Streetfilms @NYCMayorsOffice @NYC_DOT @bfurnas @TransAltBX_Up Entirely false. Dutch cycle lanes practically never have potholes. Lesser used roads need less frequent repair. This is not even a debate anymore

Bikes with one person take so little space. Cars with one person damage roads, demand parking, demand road space. Society pays for it

[Michael Childers @MatDurh]

@0kCorker @Streetfilms @NYCMayorsOffice @NYC_DOT @bfurnas @TransAltBX_Up Nope. Cycling infra is cheap vs cars (main cause of potholes is vehicle weight). Cost per mile to transport a person is vastly cheaper + health benefits. Most car journeys transport one person and no goods

Dutch spend vastly less on transport and have less traffic jams

@muhammadbutt Emirates is a profit making airline, not a petrostate

@433FutbolFan @barneyronay "took it away from him"

If anyone thinks any player is entitled to play for their country, not sure we'll build a squad that way

[Michael Childers @MatDurh]

@m8bro1337 @TILIKI_OS We could afford the defenders. We couldn't afford the striker yet. There wasn't one on the market. Only two strikers scores 30+ this year in Europe

But defenders that we need are easier to find

@0kCorker @yajayah @Streetfilms @NYCMayorsOffice @NYC_DOT @bfurnas @TransAltBX_Up Driving costs society more. Takes up more space. Noise, pollution, more deaths. Parking space. It's fine to drive, but it costs everyone more, so when I drive I know I have to pay a higher price

Cycling costs far less to everyone

So cycling lanes are cheap

@GaryJamesWriter I mean, a rich man pays his kids' private schools and by his taxes pays for someone's state schooling. You won't call both the same

Stadium naming and shirt deals were market rate. Arsenal would've gotten similar amounts from anyone else

[Michael Childers @MatDurh]

@GaryJamesWriter Shirt sponsorship in mid noughties were 2nd to Man It's, which makes sense

Stadium naming was barely 5-7% extra

Man City went from bottom half to richest

@0kCorker @yajayah @Streetfilms @NYCMayorsOffice @NYC_DOT @bfurnas @TransAltBX_Up Solution all along is to get out of your car and use more efficient transport. Everything else is blaming cyclists etc.

[Michael Childers @MatDurh]

@0kCorker @yajayah @Streetfilms @NYCMayorsOffice @NYC_DOT @bfurnas @TransAltBX_Up I've never moved the goalpost. Segregated lanes means everyone moves faster. More mobility. Cycling does not slow down cars. Cars slow down cars. Reduce cars and journey time shorten

All I've said is consistent with this

[Michael Childers @MatDurh]

@0kCorker @yajayah @Streetfilms @NYCMayorsOffice @NYC_DOT @bfurnas @TransAltBX_Up Congestion is not at an all time high. Travel times have dropped since congestion pricing has come into Manhattan (& many other cities)

[Michael Childers @MatDurh]

@0kCorker @yajayah @Streetfilms @NYCMayorsOffice @NYC_DOT @bfurnas @TransAltBX_Up Sounds like the drivers are the main problem. Even before bike lanes, there were a lot of traffic in major cities

[Michael Childers @MatDurh]

@0kCorker @yajayah @Streetfilms @NYCMayorsOffice @NYC_DOT @bfurnas @TransAltBX_Up Takes cars off the road, more space for drivers. Totally worth it

[Michael Childers @MatDurh]

@0kCorker @yajayah @Streetfilms @NYCMayorsOffice @NYC_DOT @bfurnas @TransAltBX_Up Won't it be nice if they have their own path, and don't need to drive around taking more road space?

[Michael Childers @MatDurh]

@AlexEdgerton Agreed on self driving, but 26% over short period of time is definitely due to policy. Otherwise you'd see 26% everywhere else

[Michael Childers @MatDurh]

@amirulruslan What's the SG deal about, really? If Msians use Llama based on their incentives and drive, we can let the market optimise our return from it without govt guiding where usage goes to

[Michael Childers @MatDurh]

@peterrhague Practically no loss in time, because nearly all affected roads have junctions within 2 miles, so the stretch where a car reaches 30mph is short, restricted by other cars slowing down at junctions

[Michael Childers @MatDurh]

@Brian_Kennedy @FT That is still corruption. No immunity
