Never more than a bicycle ride away from being in a good mood. Cycling benefits everyone in a city, regardless of whether they ride a bike. @Bikery1966

As a politician, I expect opposition and debate. But when it centres on personal insults, not policies, something else is going on, says the leader of the Green party, Zack Polanski

This part of Carltons thread needs some explaining if you're not in the know. The 'magic circle' here refers to 5 big law companies doing corporate law. They're big cheeses. Frankly, though, the idea we've have to go looking for law breaking motorists is laughable. Ride a bike. You'll see 30 an hour
The solicitor — who has worked for two magic ciricle law firms — accused cyclists of acting like “caped crusaders” enforcing a “police-controlled state.” She claimed that cyclists actively seek out law-breaking motorists and film them without consent.

And yet there is always discourse that frames sporty bikes as uncomfortable or less practical than city bikes. Discourse that frames sporty riders as adversaries to transit riders. Discourse that frames spandex as alien. But everyone who rides is getting around on a bike and wants to get home alive.

Riding on an upright city bike in street clothes is totally awesome. There is zero reason to take shots at sportier bikes or people who ride them to celebrate transit riding. Often it's the same people doing both. Often it's different people with common needs. Everyone who rides are allies.

While I'm not involved in any political party, I think @zackpolanski.bsky.social's analysis is correct. Thanks to Labour's multiple, infuriating failures, the Greens could become huge here, but only if they are bolder, more assertive and, yes, "eco-populist". www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"Proliferation of larger vehicles threatens to undermine all the road safety gains being made on other fronts"
Analysis of real-world collision data from almost 700,000 crashes shows SUV drivers are more likely to kill cyclists, especially children, than smaller car drivers
Analysis of real-world collision data from almost 700,000 crashes shows SUV drivers are more likely to kill cyclists, especially children, than smaller car drivers
Cyclists 44% more likely to be killed by “supersized” SUVs than smaller passenger vehicles, as researchers warn against “proliferation of larger vehicles”
The study, which analysed real-world collision data from almost 700,00 crashes, also found that a child hit by an SUV or light truck driver was 82% more likely to be killed

I heard some illegal barriers had been installed on a walking and cycle bridge at Nob End in Farnworth so I swung by to have look. The gap between the two barriers is 65cm and they overlap by approximately 50cm. There's no way to get even a normal bicycle through this gap. ...

It’s always amazing how many people have the ridiculous notion that people riding bicycles are the greatest risk they pedestrians face.
As a pedestrian, as long as I don’t walk into the road, I’m safe from cars. I’m not safe from cyclists though.

If you're privileged (and I am) and ever want to feel an inkling of what it is like to not have that privilege then try cycling a bike on the UK's roads (wearing Lycra helps but is not essential). You regularly get random abuse from strangers for just existing. SA72MKE #DNRPoliceScotland
