Hi @guyshrubsole I note you're speaking at the @OBGHA next month about your book. Might be worth covering what St. Hilda's college has recently done to ancient woodland near Oxford: https://t.co/8xjg80ao1U

@TJAWindsor @laura_laker 64% of adults overweight in the UK. Subsidised free beer and chips then? Yay for populism.

@OxfordClarion Small correction: The 850-space Park & Ride at Eynsham, five miles WEST of Oxford

@LeyNathan If you're looking for another recent example for the CC to look at, there's this new junction out to horspath ➡️ 20 Oxford Rd

@LeyNathan Nice to see this getting some attention. It's also bizarre that the crossing at the other side of Waitrose to the assisted living home isn't a zebra or toucan...

@rail_guns @B4044Path The most depressing thing about this is that the oxford mail must be more optimistic than I am that we'll see anything actually built in the next 5 years 😑

@vix1305 Most easily explained with a picture!: https://t.co/yxyVdqCvo5

200 people in cars, on bikes, on buses & light rail. Mobility in cities is about space. http://t.co/37IGilVs3a via @adamjcs #Seattle

@LeyNathan @RadleyLakes sorry to be a downer but I wouldn't be messaging if it wasn't for the main channels being so ridiculously difficult. @bmstores...you have a trolley dumped at w3w: hats.moment.breached

[Jason Baran @spiffy_cam]

@LeyNathan @RadleyLakes Hi! I was there this morning! However, did you see the trolley dumped on the south side of the lake? I have emailed biffa, they say report to wanzl/trolleywise. Trolleywise says:

@kennykamal @OxfordClarion Speak for yourself...I wonder have you tried to negotiate this junction on bike? Shoving ever more space-inefficient cars through a medieval road layout doesn't work, judging by the daily gridlock from Culham.

[Jason Baran @spiffy_cam]

@coshgirl Next time it's said that public transport and cycling are socialist, kindly question if they support the capitalist approach of auctioning off demand for car licenses (as SG does)

[Jason Baran @spiffy_cam]

@Alan_Couzens Also, converse to the endurance athlete mindset, is that bone density responds better to frequency rather than duration: https://t.co/j0rP6Fwj1y

@BBCOxford Hmmm....well the teachers I know leaving the profession aren't doing so because of LTNs. Rather more to do with pay and workload. They even cycle to work, in Oxford! Talk about scapegoat.

[Jason Baran @spiffy_cam]

@rjmunro @OxfordClarion There is something fubar'd about highways funding in the UK. For ~5x (£50m) the dutch built a fully submerged cycle parking facility in the middle of Amsterdam. I'm sure there are other examples! https://t.co/latSQHE1cF

[Jason Baran @spiffy_cam]

@OxfordClarion @OxfordshireCC I swear I saw a version of this about 5 years ago. Progress is so depressingly slow!

[Jason Baran @spiffy_cam]

@24HourMaths It's also a very nice descent - not a single pothole or bit of gravel to be seen!

[Jason Baran @spiffy_cam]

@AdamBronkhorst Yep. https://t.co/KwC2Pqhw68

Just a rant about another #closspass. Bad drivers conveniently forgetting to clean their reg plates at the mo. Shame I wasn't running the front camera.

@DannyYee @bigdamo @PeterBarnett I can't find it now, but I recall the dutch build all their infra more cheaply than the uk as it's built 'in-house' not via private contractors. Cost in UK is bumped up by liability insurance.

[Jason Baran @spiffy_cam]

@OxfordCity Westgate should raise their parking charges to fund a free bus service.
