@RAF_Luton Missing the critical info of how much aerosol...
I'm gonna guess at 8008.135 gallons

@simondbarnes I'd solve the issue of trespassers on the line by equipping all trains with a sort of snowplough device. But much sharper.

@Jontafkasi Putting cycling shoes on is just a rain dance for you isn't it?!

@gazza_d That petrol was just resting in my tank...

@RantyHighwayman It takes a while of reading through it but in amongst the dross, waffle, clichés and 'anecdata' are one or two more sensible voices.
But yes, the standard horrific waste of time in most respects.

There's a scam ToB website out there trying to link through to "buy tickets" for the race and to place bets on it. It was using old ToB stages and maps to appear legit. I've reported it a couple of times now.

@nedboulting @TourofBritain @millarmind Correction. What I took to be a history of the Tour of Britain on the race website is actually a ticket sales website. The text is indeed full of huge gaps and inaccuracies though. Apparently no British rider has won it since Bill Nickson in 1976. Can you guess the true answer?

@jackthurston @gazza_d That's the philosophy of Active Travel England too. Do a couple of schemes very well (way better than anything done previously) rather than scattering funds around piecemeal to lots of small but ultimately not very transformational schemes.

@nedboulting @millarmind @TourofBritain I'll wave from my equally understated car... 😉

[James Lyon @jameslyon77]

@Jontafkasi Rewilding.
It's the middle class version of being untidy. 😉

[James Lyon @jameslyon77]

@Jontafkasi Cool, do we get decent wine and cheese, better weather and clean beaches?

[James Lyon @jameslyon77]

@simondbarnes For you or the car...?! 😂

[James Lyon @jameslyon77]

@gazza_d @ericonabike It'd be quite funny to weight comments in consultations by cross referencing to FB.
Mentions of road tax, helmets, lycra etc means your view gets progressively downgraded for general stupidity.

[James Lyon @jameslyon77]

@HackneyBikeFit @old_school_alps Conversations between yourself (yourselves?) are great, you get on brilliantly and never disagree! 😂

[James Lyon @jameslyon77]

@4catsnomore @Jontafkasi @BBC Ooh, I'd reckon 50 : 50 against a goose. A swan would break my arm though. They can do that you know. 😉

[James Lyon @jameslyon77]

@Jontafkasi @simondbarnes If pints and kebabs were an Olympic sport...

[James Lyon @jameslyon77]

@ColdWarCliff Ah the standard "we're very much in favour of safer cycling..."
/proposal is put forward by council

Not like that! Not there! Not in that way!

This approach can also be used for bus lanes, any sort of traffic reduction idea and many pedestrian safety schemes too.

@tricyclemayor @RantyHighwayman Funny how cost is never an issue when it comes to the hundreds of millions of £ on redesigning a motorway junction to shave 30" off the average time through it....

[James Lyon @jameslyon77]

@simondbarnes That well known French suburb, Tahiti.

[James Lyon @jameslyon77]

@nedboulting Yeah it's been...

[James Lyon @jameslyon77]

@nedboulting @itvcycling @millarmind @BBCSport You both did a fantastic job on commentary - what a stage! 😍
