Russell Hobbs. Belfast Bikes biggest fan. Drives a lot, cycles fair bit too. Let's be friends and share the busy roads safely. Doesn't like waste. McCausbot.

Let that settle in. £1.5m spent on Belfast Bikes over 2yrs. Wow. Good use of ratepayers money?

[NI Groanways @NiGroanways]

Registered as a vehicle/cycling accident in the stats no doubt

[Royal Parks Police @MPSRoyal_Parks]

Officers at #RichmondPark have been dealing with a road traffic collision between Kingston Gate and Ham Gate after the driver of a vehicle slowed to allow some geese to cross the road and a male on a bicycle collided into the rear of her vehicle and through the back window.

If the Glider introduces 12hr bus lanes 6 days per week, will this problem:
A - get worse
B - get much worse

[NI Groanways @NiGroanways]

@KarenMc_G They do the same with lights as well!

[NI Groanways @NiGroanways]

Waiting for the responses. Who used to argue that hi viz wasn’t a good idea?

[NI Road Policing and Safety @NIRoadPolicing]

Nobody wants to play “Spot The Cyclist”!
Officers from Road Policing Maydown provided this cyclist on the Dunhill Road with a hi vis jacket to see him safely home. Especially at this time of year, make sure you are easily seen, as demonstrated in photo 2. #KeepingPeopleSafe

@RostrevorRARE @ShaunaReports @NicholaMallon @KateNicholl @AineGroogan @mcguigan_philip @paulgivan @moneillsf Good start, but there were a lot more attendees than that

[NI Groanways @NiGroanways]

@RobertLaverty12 @belfastcc I’m surprised, given how keen the councillors are for a selfie and virtue signalling, that there hasn’t been more marketing of their green credentials

[NI Groanways @NiGroanways]

So the delegates from NI and @belfastcc who went to COP26 to tell us how to reduce emissions. Did they get the boat or did they fly? 🤔

[NI Groanways @NiGroanways]

@AgentSchmith @RedBSierra @DarraghMcKenna @ChodofL Been keeping my head down during COVID, but planning to get back on the bike so to speak 😂

[NI Groanways @NiGroanways]

@AgentSchmith @RedBSierra @DarraghMcKenna @ChodofL Mallon doesn’t cycle. She gets driven to photo ops in her car (confirmed via a FOI request)

[NI Groanways @NiGroanways]

Infrastructure minister “we must do more to reduce carbon dioxide emissions such as electric vehicles or we’ll May look at emission charging in the city centre”. Also Infrastructure Minister - https://t.co/BEJ5iDOM5S

[NI Groanways @NiGroanways]

@oharamal Has there been a reduction in car ownership along the existing Glider routes? (I don’t know, but guessing q needs asked before claiming benefit). I note that air quality pollutants on Antrim Rd is listed as “Low” & increased from mid Oct. Wood burning stoves causing that?

[NI Groanways @NiGroanways]

And do we think this problem will get better or worse with a 12hr bus Lane 6 days per week?

Belfast parking wars: Call for tougher action over cars being left on city’s pavements https://t.co/KOFnhWym6h

[NI Groanways @NiGroanways]

@oharamal Genuine questions here. Do you think more buses will make a sufficient enough difference to car ownership? Is that what you’re hearing on the doors from impacted residents? Will there be a cost to the residents for this parking scheme?

[NI Groanways @NiGroanways]

@KarenMc_G 😂. Sorry if you’ve been tarred with that brush

[NI Groanways @NiGroanways]

I see the Karen’s are now shouting at Marks and Spencer for daring to want to open shops.

[NI Groanways @NiGroanways]

Great value for money. £15k! https://t.co/xbZYP5vWL7

[NI Groanways @NiGroanways]

@Plasmacars No, managed to dodge it so far. Must be all the cycling keeping me healthy

[NI Groanways @NiGroanways]

I continue to dip in and out of here every so often due to covid. To be honest, there is nothing for me to say. The cycling lobby are having a melt down every day over minor things. Today was another great example. Dublin road?

[NI Groanways @NiGroanways]

@ShaunaReports Ask them why they aren’t considering an URBY type bus rather than the over priced bendy bus
