I cycle because I'm too lazy to walk.

@now - perhaps you've not updated the "x" (formerly twitter) link on your website?

@NOWTV I'd like to cancel my broadband plan as I've moved country. However it seems there is some kind of block preventing me from signing in?
I can't call due to limits on my mobile plan. I'd like to message privately but you don't provide that facility.

@poketurbocatch @adamtranter @WMPolice If @warkspolice are anything to go by, thats become a hard no via #OpSnap. They used to take action at least for dangerous parking on zigzags by pedestrian crossings but refuse to do that now.

People are sick of reckless driving in their communities and now there’s thousands more eyes + ears to help combat it via dash or helmet cam reporting.

Here’s a snapshot of the 416 incidents where action was taken by @WMPolice in September 23.

The richest have the most to lose with increased emissions taxes and other pollution reduction measures:

People feel scared about walking’: the cost of car culture in Birmingham

After pedestrian deaths and assaults on traffic wardens, a city designed for motorists is fighting for change.

It's a sad state of affairs where everyone is too scared to challenge public law breaking.

It's statisticly more dangerous for me personally, but it helps reduce danger for everyone else.

@MikeyCycling @CyclingLawLDN @CitizenUddin @CarsOnCamera @MetCC @lidl @MPSHarrow @MPSHarrowHill @theJeremyVine @phonekills @cyclegaz @Cycling_In_LDN @ViaTowerBridge @TGonthebike @roadcc @cameraoncaught I'm very much of the frame of mind: "don't negotiate with terrorists".
I encourage people to keep filming & reporting dangerous driving, however it is not without personal risk & individuals have to make their own call on it.
I still feel a @PassPixi works well which says a lot.

I didn't realise @Ford had self-driving Fiestas on UK roads?
If they drive this bad they should all be recalled immediately!

@william98024502 @edwardlamb It wasn't a problem until cars flooded the roads. Why should kids have to sacrifice their lives and opportunities for your convenience?
You're retired now, you had it good when you were young, but you're happy to take that from today's kids?

Since 2020, 1.5 million motor vehicles have been registered on the U.K's roads, bringing the total to a record 41 million - a doubling of motors in just 30 years.

In 2013/14, there were 10 million fewer motors on our roads.

As Vincent's graph shows, too many cars = slow buses.

@BatUntilTea @thisisradio3dom @angrypiln Not in the marked bay, so being too close to the intersection is still valid.

Car dependency in this country is insane:
