@Mr_Gee_123123 @BBCNews Only you don't as they are vastly more efficient than combustion engines. Most of the battery power goes to propulsion. At least 80% of petrol/ diesel energy is just lost to the environment

@Wonkothesane15 @Jayne82526450 @Chris_Boardman Have a look at the Dutch data. They should be paid to cycle based on the money they save the state in relation to health care

@iscor56 @Chris_Boardman Which apparel manufacturers? Bike manufacturers have sold the bikes and unlike motorists most are not on monthly plans. Hence people keep them

@but_cyclists At least she seems to accept she did something wrong 😔

@ThinkAppraiser @RampCapitalLLC So something needs to change. Increased car use leads to Increased obesity and long term health issues. Driving to a gym to go on a treadmill or static bike is peak absurdity

[dhplumstead @dhplumstead]

@ThinkAppraiser @RampCapitalLLC Where in the world does owning a car make sense?

@UKHospKate How much do you think 4 tickets to the big match along with travel and 2 hotel rooms for a match day weekend will cost. I would suggest over £500. As such I don't think there will be much belt tightening over £5

@mwt2008 You won't regret it

@DavidDavisMP Not forgetting those poor families who scrimp and save for their private jet flight to Florida. Double vindictiveness!

@NFBUK The child wasn't on the crossing. They just ran into the cycle lane. The other cyclists should give way to pedestrians. There remains an issue with the paint only crossings. Chris Boardman wants to roll them out on minor roads. But there is no offence without flashing lights.

@AntiWuCoalition @Boenau Probably time to sell the car then. Happier life all round!

@the_vp6 @colin_boyle_ @GreenpeaceUK One person and a phone / wallet normally

[dhplumstead @dhplumstead]

@penninehiker @GreenpeaceUK An educated guess might be the lack of a proper segregated cycle lane in your area?

[dhplumstead @dhplumstead]

@EllyBakerAM @MayorofLondon @guidedogs @NFBUK It was clear. However, we are ignoring the real danger on the roads. Once we have dealt with motor vehicles, we can then look at lower risk incidents

[dhplumstead @dhplumstead]

@EllyBakerAM @MayorofLondon @guidedogs @NFBUK Inappropriate to who? Hopefully you are asking for car free streets and a pan london 20mph zone

[dhplumstead @dhplumstead]

@crepycidon @Now_Being_Laura @ASPRoadSafety 5 people killed by drivers each day would probably not support this argument

[dhplumstead @dhplumstead]

@ChicagoTafia @BBCWalesNews Might as well do 100 then. Someone else further up the road is dead, but the 5yr old is fine. What a peculiarly odd comment

[dhplumstead @dhplumstead]

@JamesMelville Parody account?

[dhplumstead @dhplumstead]

@Wwfcwolf1 @mwt2008 So presumably you have a heat pump? We are really pleased with ours. And it is quiet
