@Admalez @guidoacasa Dropping from 30 to 20 mph cuts impact force in half and stopping distance by 40%, keeping pedestrian fatality risk under 5%. Going lower yields diminishing returns, as the safety gains from 20 to 5 mph are marginal and less significant than going from 30 to 20 mph.

@Pepys21 @BobFromAccounts Cyclist and pedestrians already do. They also subsidise car infrastructure through council taxes.

@Forthelols12 @MikeyCycling "Control" = giving people options? Right. Funny how it’s "socialism" when public money funds a bike lane, but perfectly fine when billions in taxpayer cash subsidizes your driving.

@OpenChiswickW4 He's saying to cycle off the main roads but also opposes LTNs which would make that more attractive to cyclists.

[mitch @mitchNcatch]

@QuinlanQuinlan @francesca_kms Lol, this is saying each person is doing a similar amount of trips and similar distance, which has nothing to do with the amount of people cycling.

It would make sense that as more pick up cycling, the average distance would drop as more novice cyclists are doing less distance.

@OpenChiswickW4 @ediz1975 According to poll check, conservatives are currently estimated to be 4th in Bowes.

@JasonForCroydon So what happens when this does nothing to help congestion? Would you accept that you were wrong and reinstall this?

@dare99 By their logic cars aren't transportation for most things. Most cars couldn't even haul those things lol.

[mitch @mitchNcatch]

@Wilbert90210 @NirvanaCraig @BBCLondonNews Cyclist already do, just like they pay for the roads as well as it comes from general taxation. Who do you think is paying for them?

@IslingtonResid3 @neilchristiex @SocEnvJustice @JohnJohnStewart You are making such a bad faith argument. In your hypothetical it would be 0 which is unrealistic. How about you actually provide some facts? Define what you consider 'complete gridlock' and actually state where this is happening.

[mitch @mitchNcatch]

@IslingtonResid3 @neilchristiex @SocEnvJustice @JohnJohnStewart This is a hypothetical that wouldn't exist; however, usually you look at both peak hours and 24hr volumes when analysing travel. So in your hypothetical you would still see volumes in the 24hr counts.

[mitch @mitchNcatch]

@IslingtonResid3 @neilchristiex @SocEnvJustice @JohnJohnStewart You can also use Junction Turning Counts or other days to sense check ATC data. Arguing to "use your eyes" is unreliable, as human perception is frequently misled by bias or selective attention compared to actual objective collection methods.

[mitch @mitchNcatch]

@IslingtonResid3 @neilchristiex @SocEnvJustice @JohnJohnStewart Your argument is flawed. ATCs still count vehicles at low speeds. The only real issue is classification; if a vehicle moves too slowly, the system may reset between axles and miscount. Pneumatic tubes only fail if a car is literally parked on them, requiring a data rerun.

@Wellthatsafirst @AldredKeith There is a huge difference between electric assisted bicycles and what is essentially an illegal electric motorbike. The first one is clearly defined in the regulations.

[mitch @mitchNcatch]

@AldredKeith How can something be 'allowed' and 'illegal' at the same time.

Also who/what is this cycle lobby these people keep talking about?

[mitch @mitchNcatch]

@EssexPR If you are scared of everyone in public and can't just mind your own fucking business, you are probably a right wing nutter

@DavidHu05137188 @indieHackney @HackneyLabour @mayorofhackney @hackneycitizen @hackneygazette @HackneyIndSG @SocEnvJustice @myldn @HackneyLibDems It must be because the posties like it quite a bit as they are delivering most of the drugs now-a-days

@indieHackney @HackneyLabour @mayorofhackney @hackneycitizen @hackneygazette @HackneyIndSG @SocEnvJustice @myldn @HackneyLibDems Drug dealers fantasies must include playing hop scotch. You are clueless.

You must not talk to a lot of people because this is significantly better than a sea of stone or concrete. You either have no taste and/or you are just going to complain no matter what the council does.
