If you looking at @ollyglover.bsky.social ‘s survey - “what matters to you?”. This Olly. #pavementparking that’s out of control in #Didcot. One year and we can’t see change. Just more cars. But yeah, let’s fix the potholes for them? @badlyparkedox.bsky.social @oxfordclarion.bsky.social

Just had the @ollyglover.bsky.social questionnaire through. Brave question being asked, the reply will (based on the last year of no change) @greenparty.org.uk ? Doesn’t mention #activetravel as on option important to you either? #saveDidcot

I’ve still got my Boardman Team Carbon. It must be easily 12 plus years old now, I couldn’t bare to sell or scrap it as it’s been so many places with me and done so much.

It’s on the wall now. Best bike I ever owned and I love it still 💛 (agree ignore the snobbery)

@rickedwards1.bsky.social discussing the #inflation & cost of living. Can see the huge surge in the cost of ethical chocolate with Tony’s @sainsburys.bsky.social going through the roof - hugely worrying given Cadburys remains so cheap?

Insane scenes in #didcot today with the traffic. Depressing.

Welcome to #Didcot. Where adults have such faith in the safety of our roads (on a new build estate) that they cycle on the paths.

It’s beyond depressing, yet nothing changes.

The two shades of #cycling in #Oxford.

Absolute joy seeing parents & children use the plain for cycling now a lot of the cars have gone. Absolute pain further down as too many cars.

The sooner we free these link roads up the better. Thank god it’s finally being discussed.

For 17 months I’ve tried (and failed) to get #pavementparking addressed in #Didcot.

I’ve spoken to and emailed Councillors at OCC and DTC. I’ve spoken to TVP and through it all, bar one or two there is simply no interest in sorting it out and making our pavements safe.

Ahh - that’s a shame! We met some chap and he told us about these three diesels going to Swanage after the FS. Thought I would share for you!

Further years of misery for #Didcot ahead - we have #2lanecampaign Labour, further paralysis with Snowdon or reform.

It’s probably not surprising that we are in such a state with #pavementparking, complete lack of #activetravel measures and a gridlocked town with more cars coming.

Absolute scenes this Easter as half of Oxfordshire’s #cycling community descend on the Isis pub in #Oxford. Just unbelievable to see the range of ages cycling using the @nathanley.com cycle path! #cyclinglife

#pavementparking is getting more and more out of control in #Didcot. What has to happen before we can walk / cycle safely?

Just read the #reform manifesto for #Didcot west.

Really depressing times, we deserve so much better than this for our town, our children and our future.

It’s a race to flood Didcot with more cars & no support for #activetravel

Still coming to terms that I’m not able to watch #stradebianche this year thanks to @tntsports.com.br.web.brid.gy eating #eurosport.

How is this okay and when is someone going to do something about this?

Has anyone reported a #closepass in #Oxford or #Oxfordshire lately?

It would appear #TVP have changed the portal and no longer recognise a “cyclist” as the victim. Further the offence of close pass has been removed?

Has anyone else experienced this lately? #cyclinglife #activetravel

Tried the “new” #cycle path from Radley to #Oxford this evening, as promoted / pushed by @nathanley.com.

Imagine actually having this in #Didcot. Just incredible, no cars, fresh air and so quick.

A lot of noise has been made about #2lanecampaign & #Didcot being dragged into the 1950s by @dandwlabour.bsky.social.

It’s hard to see positives, but there are councillors like Hayleigh. #cycles & trains, volunteers @parkrunuk.bsky.social - there is hope & they need our support.

When you feel like giving up hope in #Didcot, you are reminded that the future is there.

We just need to fight for it - amazing to see children #cycling on one of our worst roads.

It is easy to get down about #cycling in #Oxfordshire - but it is so important we have Councillors leading from the front, and cycling no matter the challenge / weather.

Hope 😊 (in a car filled and exhausted town)

I won’t lie, I’ve taken a break from #cycling due to our roads. But needed the headspace, so went out.

Another awful close pass, followed by the driver giving me the finger. Will the response from @thamesvalleypolice.bsky.social be any different now?

I really hope so.

Today witnessed #TVP taking electric scooters and bikes from being locked up in #Reading and confiscated.

Whilst illegal electric bikes needs to be sorted, imagine if #cycling had this level of support on the roads from #TVPRP?

Priorities though. #activetravel #cyclinglife
December 16, 2024 at 7:06 PM
After hearing that #tvprp are catching the real criminals now for #cycling with no lights, I gave in.

Feedback from a member of the public - “f*** me that’s bright, you need to dim that or turn it off”.

Let’s hope for the same reaction with cars.

Impressed by @legalandgeneral.bsky.social #NobelPark ‘s latest advert.

So Amy & Callum left Dorset for #Didcot for the #cycle paths and “abundant green spaces”?

Are we in the same town? Am I missing something and there is secret #activetravel in town?

“Im 50 years old…I’ve been waiting for this”.

I feel you Maki. I feel you.

Best @asot.bsky.social in absolute years, please do more. Loved how much you all smiled.

Just depressing how even @taylorwimpeyplc.bsky.social contractors care so little about #pavementparking on #GWP.

You would think they would ask their own teams to not encourage it even more 😔
