I'm an ex Windsurfer, ex Rugby player and now a cyclist. Touring and Randonneuring is my thing.

@gfreeman2012 @bigdavecyclist @gcntweet @MikeyCycling @Bikery1966 Filtering on either the left or right, is obeying the highway code if you're a cyclist or motorbike rider!

@valentinejamoke @RoadPeace The language changed over 30 years ago hence RTC. This is simply the signage regulations catching up

[Simon Woodward @simonwoodward66]

@colin_dingwall @adamtranter @createstreets These are on side roads. Drivers should be expecting pedestrians to be crossing and driving to the conditions.

@Martrid @WMerciaRoads You bring the fire service into disrepute posting this utter nonsense 😥

@DaveF63 Only if you're living in the 1970s

It's the first of our 2024 club TTs on Saturday, when we'll be holding a 'come and try' event idea for first-timers on the K32/5 course, just east of Droitwich. Please note the change of course from the original, which is unavailable due to flooding. https://t.co/2RKLPFvDat

@deeejayspider @MikeyCycling It also used to be legal to drive a car without a license training insurance etc. But then people started being killed and the law makers decided to do something about it.

When cyclists, pedestrians, horse riders etc. start killing no doubt they'll be required to hold a license

@sewingshack11 @MikeyCycling I own a car and pay no vehicle tax on it as it's emission free. Why do you think I should pay vehicle tax on my bicycle.

[Simon Woodward @simonwoodward66]

@FR4NK_WHITE @WilliamNB @WarksCyclist The issue here is your inability to understand that moving to the left leaves cyclists in a vulnerable position. We do when it is safe but many drivers have no concept of other road users safety.

It's the last round of our club TT season on Sunday morning, with the holding of the annual hill climb on Winwood Heath Road. Trophies are up for grabs for the fastest male and female club members, but everyone wins the satisfaction of tackling the climb! https://t.co/1IX2MJC9Rg

@adamtranter This is great news, but the article states that the Hagley road scheme is being considered? The Hagley Road scheme was announced a few years ago. Last year when I queried the new cycle route signs BCC told me it was being built
Have we scrapped one scheme so we can build another?

@BridgesCanal @CRTBoating @CanalRiverTrust In the UK laws are created when things go wrong. Multiple deaths on roads has created the laws that ban mobile phone use, speed limits etc There's next to no deaths of people drowning haven taken from a narrowboat.

[THINK! Road Safety @THINKgovuk]

It’s #WorldBicycleDay 🚲

People may cycle in the centre of their lane in certain situations, allowing others to overtake when safe to do so.

Let’s keep everyone safe – refresh your Highway Code knowledge here: https://t.co/hXWxdJTmX6

@jpt4469 @adamtranter We don't want to cycle for the good of the planet. It just happens that choosing to cycle is far better for everyone including the planet.

[Simon Woodward @simonwoodward66]

@opaqueentity @roadcc That's perfectly legal. 2 wheeled vehicles are allowed to filter through slow moving or stationary traffic.

[Simon Woodward @simonwoodward66]

@SachaDylan @Robin_XBD @adamtranter Yes it is

[Simon Woodward @simonwoodward66]

@bhamconnected @ecobirmingham Meanwhile @bhamconnected continue to create this utter nonsense. Please tell me what this sign refers to?
