Absolutely tragic waste of a life, and yet the Faceache clowns are still desperately trying to blame the cyclist here, including one suggesting that the cyclist deserved it, because they don't pay road tax.

A walking licence and pavement tax would have prevented this pedestrian hitting this defenceless, hard working motorist.

Robson Fletcher @robsonfletcher.com · 7d

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.

They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

Caught a driver on his phone tonight. Spun round and captured some evidence on the camera. Unfortunately his tints hid most of his phone, until he decided to wave it around for me, to prove he wasn't using his phone, while the screen was lit up! 🤦

Back in the dark days, when I used to "run", this was my song of choice, so I had one thing I could enjoy.

New episode up! We talked with researcher Tim Gill about how we need to make our cities safe for children, not cars. "Children are basically living very captive and kind of contained lives, and that's just not healthy."

".....but how will I get my cello to orchestra practice without my oversized SUV?"

Shez @sh3zz4.bsky.social · 15d

I'd suggest some large, very sticky, A4 sticky labels, with the message printed on them.
Make sure the windscreen is dry and grease free, then slap it right in front of where the driver sits. 👍

Personally I would have dragged the push chair down the side of the car, but she had far more patience than me!

I reported the vehicle, and suggested she did the same.

Shez @sh3zz4.bsky.social · 15d

I had to help a mum and her pushchair around this car on Sunday.
There was another car parked just behind it, so the drivers coming down couldn't see her having to push her child on the road, around this vehicle.

The Economist @economist.com · 15d

People in Britain are travelling less far than they did two decades ago, according to government data on domestic journeys in England. That reverses a long trend

British men are driving less, and a culture is vanishing

How can you "forget" you had an orange Condor? I think you deliberately forgot, so you had an excuse to remember it and pick it up again! 😂

I need a new mountain bike next. Hoping to get something in the sales.....

The road there is plenty wide enough to safely park their vehicle there, but for some weird reason they decided it was a pedestrian today.

Shame I wasn't carrying my bag with those sharp metal buckles today.

Shez @sh3zz4.bsky.social · 16d

I'm not that mean. I'd have left maybe a couple of inches gap between them.

Shez @sh3zz4.bsky.social · 16d

Wanker of the day goes to this bell end.
I had to help a mum with a pushchair safely around this car, because she was scared that drivers wouldn't see her due to the other car just behind it, that was parked slightly better.

Reported for shit parking.

It wouldn't have taken any more effort to position this sign better. Manchester.

I would have moved to to just behind that car. It's to signal the road is narrowing, so no need to narrow the pavement too.

We've been asking drivers to slow down for 100 years, while simultaneously designing roads for ever faster speeds & greater throughput.

This is like plopping a case of Oreos in your kid's room with a sticky note saying they can have 2 cookies per day.

I'm going to celebrate that top 10 finish with Tom Pidcocks actual bidon, and maybe put a Guinness in it for Ben Healy.

He offers a lot more than Richy, apart from maybe the shithousery that Richy sometimes does really well.
Tel hasn't got the strength to play up front, so we either need to hope Richy gets us a few goals, or bring one of the youngsters through a bit quicker, or maybe try Brennan up front.
