In Germany they have plenty of space for bikes on the train. They also have a defibrillator for if you found the cycle to the station challenging. 🤣

@cllrmarkingleby.bsky.social @lewisham.gov.uk @cllrmarkingleby.bsky.social Yet another serious crash on the supposed 20mph Hither Green Lane - a convenient rat run through a residential neighborhood for drivers avoiding the South Circular. When will the you restrict through-traffic here?

@serailway.bsky.social When you're running a 8 car services with a noticeboard saying "usually standing room only" how about increasing it to 10 or 12 cars. Your 12 car passing services often have loads of space with no one standing. How about having them stop more as they enter inner London?

Why am I not surprised that Lewisham's residual anti-LTNer, that would rather the focus was on improving bus services instead of LTNs, hasn't yet praised TfL for today's announcement about new and extended bus routes from Lewisham 🤔🙄 www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/2483617...

This video is an excellent resource to rationally explain the biases against transportation modes outside of cars. It’s a great one to share with friends and family who might be open to a logical discussion about our current motoring environment and the changes we need to consider.

Lewisham's Low Traffic Neighborhood (LTN) was installed in mid-2020. Those who argue it worsened pollution on the A205 South Circular should check the Breathe London monitor situated on a lamppost on the A205 pavement, near Wellmeadow Road. This data contradicts those claims.

If you're in the UK and looking for something uplifting to watch on TV tonight, try 'An Evening with Dua Lipa' - including a spectacular orchestra and Elton John, at the iconic Albert Hall - on ITV X. www.itv.com/watch/an-eve...

Look, I understand the 20mph limit in London is frustrating for some drivers, but there's no need to drive erratically to push in front as you'll only end up sitting at a red light seconds later. This is what goes on in their head. "Must... Get... To... Red... Light... First..." 🤪

Today I have eaten toasted panettone for breakfast. A large bowl of crisps for lunch. I'm currently snacking on a tub of chewy sweets whilst contemplating eating yesterday's left over Christmas Dinner & pud. Sure, it's not good for my physical health, but it's working wonders for my mental health 😀

On my bike I once pulled in, at the side of the road, to take a phone call. A car started beeping at me, telling me to "move or get on the pavement" "Why?" I asked. "Because I want to park there" the driver replied. "But I'm parked here" I said. ...He just didn't comprehend it 🤷🏼‍♂️

Registered vehicles on UK roads: 1991: 20 million 2023: 41.2 million Congestion is caused — and air pollution and climate change is made worse — not by cycleways or LTNs, but by too many motor vehicles.

Nick Robinson on @bbcradio4.bsky.social making a big deal that prisons have "underfloor heating". Surely that's better than having radiators on the wall that can be ripped off causing flooding. It's like complaining they have "flat screen TVs" when they are the only type you can buy now.

The wind is howling today! It's a great reminder of the power of nature and how we can harness it to generate clean energy. 🌬️ It's amazing to think this windmill from 1770 works on the same principle to grind flour as today's mega turbines to generate electricity⚡

1 in 4 cars sold in the UK in November were electric. Despite all the negativity in the media about EV sales being down and so on - the market keeps on growing. Too often media reports just reflect the author's own dislike of EVs more than anything. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Preparations underway for the new lifts and footbridge at Hither Green train station. If you zoom in you can see how badly delayed the original bridge is. Despite the disruption, this is a much needed development that will benefit all travellers and make the station properly accessible for all.

Can someone please develop an app that: a) takes a photo of a car's registration plate; b) checks that registration against the Tax, MOT and Insurance databases; and c) if any come up negative, sends a report, including photo & geolocation, to the relevant authorities. Would any of you use it?

Nigel's recipes seem to be based on whatever he happened to have on hand for dinner or in the fridge, rather than carefully planned meals. I'm sure they taste great, but the recipes give the impression of being a bit 'thrown together'.
