It’s a lifestyle magazine with a little news and an article about air fryers.

What a weird and disturbing article. I was going to share here myself but couldn’t wrap my head around the “journalism”.
Should have been “ thug died attempting to intimidate” , “ladder kills criminal” or final score
“Racist 0, Gravity 1”

Is it really only a £100 fine for this? I’d use the ”infraction “as a reason to shake down the individuals life. It must be linked to more criminality. Follow a bike thief home and you’ll find a burglar.

Average lifespan of a business is under 9 years before failing and this figure is shrinking Some universities are centuries old. They’ll be around to pick up the inevitable failure and the bill.

I don’t believe the bike trade has changed that much. Still reinventing components but now in improved “unabtanium”!

I heard the boot is full of “alternative “ plates.

Reported and still on the road. “See it, say it, ignore it!”

Illegal e-(motor) bikes are often low quality and need constant repair. That’s the area for enforcement. Fine those that fix them ?

The “island of strangers” speech was the last straw for me. Gone Green. For years I voted on the better the devil you know or the least worst philosophy. When a politician apes the jargon of the extremists it’s time to grab your coat.

Great example of car brain bingo. “How’s my granny going to move her sofa?” At least I now know to follow @bfurnas.bsky.social

I still average x3 mileage p/a on my bicycle.
When transport is renationalising I probably will stop driving. Currently it’s cheaper than the train.

So the 6 pedestrians hit by cyclists at floating bus stops over two years in London is cause for caution. The 16 that were killed by a bus in one year is alarming.
