The whole "my country is full" nonsense is quite a lazy trope but there is no doubt that things feel fuller than ever - and the reason for that is not anything to do with net migration. It is cars. In the UK the number of cars registered is going up by 17% per year and now stands at 41.2million.

No idea who the gentlemen on Radio 5 Live was a minute ago was but his point was really well made. “JSO protesters got 5 years in prison, drivers who kill a child “might” get a couple of years”

"Apparently this doesn’t apply to drivers when they’re nose-to-tail queuing out of Richmond Park on a Sunday morning. Can’t you all stop driving in such large groups?!" Cyclists blast Royal Parks’ campaign advising them to “respect park visitors” by “refraining from riding in large groups”

Way to go London! When I last visited, I travelled by train and borrowed a friend’s Brompton. Cycling is definitely my favoured mode of transport in the capital.

Dog whistling. How many drivers have received life sentences for death by dangerous driving. This govt continues to find new ways to appall me

YouTube significantly reduced the video quality, but I'm OK with that. This video serves simply to show people what the #WrayTrail in Devon looks like, not to showcase 4k camera quality. Full route guide will follow later (prob tomorrow) youtu.be/6KjgR-VBc-s #Cycling #WillCycle

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath Some costs aren’t costs.

Beautiful start to the day. It’s a shame I’ll have to sleep through a good bit of it. Happy Easter to all who celebrate (and those who just like chocolate 😉). #Cycling #ActiveTravel #Nights #Easter

Question. Does anyone know of a cycling “charity” that could make use of some 700x28c Conti Ultrasport’s with inner tubes. They came with my Merida but I run tubeless so went straight onto P Zero TLRs. #Cycling #Charity

As a Cornishman, I’ll be voting for Clare Dyas (Green Party), Long Rock, Marazion & St. Erth. Surely everyone has enough evidence of the damage snake oil salesmen like Trump, Farage, Johnson et al can do?

Strange take of the year so far? “Look at all the harm those vegans are doing?” WTAF is wrong with these idiots?

Anybody know of any jobs available in the cycling industry? Preferably in Norway (I know it’s very unlikely), UK based if not. I have many years of experience working in retail, writing, reviews, modelling & I’ve raced internationally on the road for a long time. Please share and/or DM. Thanks!

This is all so weak as piss rn. What I’d like to see is investment in public transport and active travel infrastructure. Meanwhile encouraging walking, cycling, e-bikes and where appropriate… sub 1 tonne personal EVs. #ClimateCrisis #Health
