Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Used a Santander Cycle (Kenny farthing) for the first time in ages yesterday. It was a joy! Proper dutch-like, weighty to ride but glides around like a big red wood pigeon. So relaxing. I'd recommend it to anyone, including seasoned cyclists.

Absolutely insufferable aviation chat on the BBC Today programme just now. Does Nick Robinson not know business travel has peaked? And that airports don't necessarily bring economic benefit (see @alchap.bsky.social)? Incredibly one sided conversation presented as balance, for shame.

The “bang bus” owned by adult entertainer Bonnie Blue, visiting Oxford for Freshers’ Week, will not be eligible to pass through the High St bus gate. An Oxfordshire County Council spokesman told the Clarion: “Having taken the risk of googling Bonnie Blue’s Bang Bus, the vehicle appears to be a van.”

As I pressed send on that I looked up to see this guy’s solution to the tube strike.

I would like the government to talk less about stopping the small boats and more about building the big trains.

“The AI in the study probably prompted doctors to become over-reliant on its recommendations, ‘leading to clinicians becoming less motivated, less focused, and less responsible when making cognitive decisions without AI assistance,’ the scientists said in the paper.”

@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.

Another in the now SERIES of posts I've made regarding strange horse themed signs.

Bluesky, I dare you to ride some apocalpyse-themed flaming horse into this park.

Please don't plug keyboards or other devices into random USB ports, ok?

This is a dangerous strategy & will create future sink estates & lead to all kinds of public issues as developers make huge profits.

Housing policy can ONLY work if it's joined up with environment, industrial, transport, health & education- the reason Bevan was minister for housing AND health.

In 2023, Amsterdam lowered the speed limit on 80% of city streets to 30 kmh (19 mph).

Since then:
🔹 Ped & cyclist crashes ⬇️ 15%
🔹 Car-related crashes ⬇️ 11%
🔹 Noise ⬇️ 5.5% (logarithmic)
🔹 Traffic ↔️ No change

60% of locals support the lower speed limits.

always loved this one, for the bloody mindedness of Peakdon and also for going "don't be silly Monmouth is welsh"

I'm not sure what anyone thought would happen - our railway is fully full. Like not a bit full, but fully choka. And we've killed the only project that would have fixed this for most of the country in a one-er.

The New Towns were a major part of post-WW2 reconstruction and a showcase for town planning. Alongside was the LCC's (and then GLC's) own efforts to relocate people and industry. Here's a 🧵to give a flavour of the opportunities, starting with this LCC "Offices of the Move" leaflet from the late '50s

Also, if you want to start tackling the dangerous delivery riders you could start by by banning the "self employed" nonsense the companies currently use.

They should be employees supplied with safe, regulated, company-owned bikes.

As the author, I’m immensely proud of this report. But mainly I hope people read it and take notice. This is about the rise in ‘fake e-bikes’, and what’s driving it appgcw.org/resources/in...

I welcome the bill and am pleased the Government are working to support the aviation industry, and support production of SAF- it will bring in jobs & investment.

It's important though we don't see SAF as a silver bullet & aviation still faces huge challenges around decarbonisation. 2/2
