@EricLDaugh Looks obese, orange and fake teeth. Gross... Joke of a "president"

@CLETUSVANDAM12 @ProfBrianCox @BBCNews "Freedom Units" need to get in the bin. Imperial measures are batshit. It's crazy since as a country we weirdly dabble in both.

Our imperial isn't even the same as the US. A tonne? A gallon? Most Americans don't even know a stone. Bin it all!

@GordoManchester @patkarney Traffic has been terrible on Deansgate for over 10 years. There was NO CYCLE LANES then, so don't be playing this stupid blame game. Here are some pictures I took in 2019.

Also uploaded a couple of videos from 2015 / 2020

@breebunn Which was the best one?

[Rick Box @Boxrick]

@Colinahscopy @geerlingguy Whilst trying to blur out the main speedo but then forgetting the second.

[Rick Box @Boxrick]

@geerlingguy This was where I quickly clicked away.

@MatthewGreen02 They use a similar system in Middlesbrough. It appeared during the pandemic and was never removed.

In Manchester, I just turn up and get rid of my recycling and get on with my life. I don't think I've ever waited more than a few minutes or if I'm cycling there is none.

[Rick Box @Boxrick]

@steviemoraa I really hope it doesn't.... This is from constant blocking of adverts.

[Rick Box @Boxrick]

@SteveInWatford @H_H_Gray Got to have those rowing cyclists.

Did you know that people don't usually "row" when they are not trying to be killed?

[Rick Box @Boxrick]

@TheBlueUlysses Mine wouldn't fit..😥

Left side is too high right side my handlebars are too tall so it won't fit in unless at an angle.
Crap design

[Rick Box @Boxrick]

@TheBlueUlysses The whole railcard system is bizarre and a leftovers from a much older system. It just needs scrapping and modernising with a fair frequent user discount system.

@Owler_Nook @ianjpennington Feels like whoever said this has the usual car brain. Sad to see highways officers stating nonsense... 😟

[Rick Box @Boxrick]

@CharlieJGardner @JustStop_Oil So I know nothing about this. But given we are cutting everything to the core and this budget is looking pretty sore. Wouldn't 22b be better spent on say solar panels / energy storage / high speed rail?

[Rick Box @Boxrick]

More Poynton bypass crashes... 😟

[Rick Box @Boxrick]

@richardparke15 @DrScottArthurMP If we drive up demand for trains everyone benefits. Less pollution / congestion. More people travel to an area and spend money etc.

Trains should be a public service not a for profit service.

[Rick Box @Boxrick]

We dedicate so much space to move and store cars... ( Northenden, Manchester ). Think how nice it could be here with a bit of space reallocation!

[Rick Box @Boxrick]

@JuliaLopezMP @NationalHways Let's remember what adding more roads does to an area. It certainly doesn't fix traffic. In fact the opposite.

Imagine how transformative over 100 million would have been for your area?

[Rick Box @Boxrick]

@H_H_Gray What's even crazier is how cheap it is. 60p for an hour! £3.40 for all day?

It's not uncommon to find places which charge £7-10 an hour.

[Rick Box @Boxrick]

@Mrkinsella1 @hackney_cycling @hackneycouncil What sort of nonense is this? I get it, 0 cyclists no problems right? Why don't we get rid of those pesky pedestrians and stupid pavements while we at it too and all those stupid buildings in the way.
