@tjamet @githubstatus @github Not just you

@CountMoriarty @but_cyclists You have to consider why we have rules that serve no purpose in the first place. Why do we have traffic lights? When were they invented? Watch a busy Dutch intersection and you'll realise traffic lights and their rules only exist because motorists are selfish and dangerous.

@Vodacom @MTNza @Vodacom111 @CellC I hear you have the "best network in the country" but what I really want to know is, do you also infuriate your customers by sending them unsolicited spam?

[Robert Ketteringham @robket]

@Vodacom When I turned 30, I didn't message spam to a bunch of people who had already OPTED OUT. Customer care verified that I was indeed opted out of all marketing channels. The only reason I willingly pay more for Vodacom data is because I got fed up with @MTNza spam. #VodacomTurns30

@Our_DA Why is @Our_DA so keen on supporting the LLPT? Were the LLPT able to "convince" @Our_DA in the same way they "convinced" the First Nations Collective?💰💰💰https://t.co/n4DHQQ06En

[Robert Ketteringham @robket]

@Our_DA if a State Owned Enterprise sells off 15 hectares of prime land at a tenth of its true value to a private individual, wouldn't strongly indicate that corruption is afoot? Should the DA support such an act or the profiteers of corruption?

@MyCiTiBus From what time will the stops be closed?

[Robert Ketteringham @robket]

@geordinhl But that's only tangentially related to your op-ed, which I think raised some very good points.

[Robert Ketteringham @robket]

@geordinhl Speaking of law and order, can we get this bakkie that's parked on the pavement blocking pedestrian movement impounded (or towed away, or just ticketed perhaps?) Rules are rules, and they apply to everyone, right?

[Robert Ketteringham @robket]

@HRH_Spinsista @geordinhl That would be <40 minutes by bicycle - if only we could make this healthy, affordable alternative a viable option for everyone.

[Robert Ketteringham @robket]

@BMW_SA How many people die on South African roads due to reckless driving? But sure, I understand... you're too busy profiting off toys for the over-indebted, to stop think about how you're complicit in those deaths. (Yes you, the brand manager, you are also complicit)

[Robert Ketteringham @robket]

@geordinhl Widening roads is not "Investing in Infrastructure". Investments yield returns. Additional road surface will only cost more money to maintain, and they won't reduce traffic congestion enough to pay for that maintenance.

@johnbloot @adam_copp @Spoquey @cyclegaz "It's really easy. Just google it. I would google it for you and answer your straight forward question. That would be really easy for me to do. But I can't do that, despite it being so easy, because, erm... I wouldn't want to make things too easy for you, you know?" - @johnbloot

@wise_littlelegs @steviexdavis @cyclegaz > when in place they don't use them.
Were you watching a different video to the one I watched? That cycle lane seemed quite well used.

[Robert Ketteringham @robket]

@FIAFormulaE will there be any parking for my net zero bicycle at the Formula E event in Cape Town this weekend?

[Robert Ketteringham @robket]

Doesn't matter if it's a taxi protest or a presidential address: I'm getting home at the same time.

[Robert Ketteringham @robket]

@Transport_CT If they're forced to take the bus/train/walk/cycle, do you think they'll be able to see the myriad of small obvious improvements that could be made to improve the experience of the non-private-motorised majority of citizens?

[Robert Ketteringham @robket]

@Transport_CT Really simple, cheap and practical idea. Have the politicians, transport planners and the engineers who design our transport infra spend a month or even a week without using private vehicles. No company cars, no private cars, no ubers.

[Robert Ketteringham @robket]

@RobertVogelZA @smavundla @RobQuintas @MikhailManuelCT @young_urbanists @geordinhl @Transport_CT @WCGovTPW Cities around the world have realised that bicycles offer an alternative to increasing congestion and are prioritising the development of physically safe routes. Meanwhile those in charge of Cape Town are just handing over more control of transportation to the taxi organisations

[Robert Ketteringham @robket]

@RobertVogelZA @smavundla @RobQuintas @MikhailManuelCT @young_urbanists @geordinhl @Transport_CT @WCGovTPW The upgraded pavements are an improvement, but you're right, there has been nothing done to make cycling safer or more convenient since the 2010 World Cup. (Painting a green stripe through a 8 lane intersection does not count)
