@SwanBoatSteve Steve, you have to remember that these experts are all theoretical and reality is very different. It’s worse because they are most vocal and guiding policy with some falsehoods without real world practicality and other then have to fix it.

@SwanBoatSteve There are a lot of people throwing around transit signal priority and shouting it like it’s a holy grail and will solve all. Unfortunately it’s not that simple.

[John Watkins @dadofbuttons]

@mario4thenorth That’s very simplistic but Yeah that money is not coming back like the millions to various others that have not kept their promises…..

I remember when Shane first appeared Australia vs England and my brother and our neighbours trying to recreate his spin bowling! RIP.

@jamieklingler A reminder of returning from the student union drunk and needing food. Always managed to get the outside hot enough to melt the inside of your mouth and the center was still Luke warm 🤣

If you really want to know what I think: get vaccinated. It’s not a government plot. Governments can’t even mend pot holes.

@ThisCrazyTrain No idea but this last week I’ve had incidents this last week of cars trying to push me into the gutter, turning right and not Checking the bike lane or just winding the window down and hurling abuse (one who had his kids in back).

[John Watkins @dadofbuttons]

@ThisCrazyTrain Must the heat or something but the standard of driving is down and the level of aggression towards cyclists seems much higher.
