Alright, I should be in bed already but I am fucking around on the computer.

Oh lovely. Just discovered that some of the bus companies in #london are now issuing hand held devices to bus drivers.
I didn't discover that by reading the presser below but by finding me next to 12 tons of metal operated by a distracted driver, fully empowered by the fact that it was "a work […]

Just got some "feedback survey" from #strava
All about money (and how much they could charge and get away with it). No free form (I might have told them how I feel about their recent moves)

So this morning we were using 4 out of 5 bikes at the same time.
The safety margin is too low, probably time for N+1

@wav3ydave they don't investigate bike theft anyway. They just came up with a policy to justify it

[Good olde prejudice with cyclists]

Someone is hanging those signs at traffic lights in London.

Perfect example of "blindness with your own prejudice" as there is no way one can read it unless they are stopped at the red light (colour blind test, relatively […]
