Signal downloads spike in the U.S. and Yemen amid government scandal

A cis woman was in the ladies toilet alone A man walked in shouting about trans people saying he was "defending women" Then they fired her I WANT TO SCREAM

When bikes are just a normal part of life, they show up in everyday media without fuss. This Dutch 🇳🇱 supermarket ad jokes about couples matching their bikes and outfits, but in doing so, it also casually highlights how cycling is woven into daily routines.

These kids are my heroes and it breaks my heart that they have to resort to this to try and get healthcare

Safety in numbers! New study supports the hypothesis that the more people use micromobility forms of transport the safer they become due "to behavioural changes of motorists". road.cc/content/news...

When people experience life without cars, they don't want them back. Innovation may be unwelcome at first but a good experience can change all that. We'd love to see a quieter, cleaner, safer town centre in Oxford

The Dutch warn LGBT travellers about new rules in the US www.dutchnews.nl?p=249541

“Make them squirm! Get chucked out of the Oval Office.” “Take the lie, smash him round the head with it.” @mrjamesob.bsky.social doesn’t think the journalist who attempted to question Donald Trump on the leaked texts scandal went far enough.

In the Dutch town of Giethoorn 🇳🇱, there is a residential path where delivery vans can't easily get access. The locals have placed a bike at the path entrance with a sign asking couriers to use it for deliveries and to "please put the bike back when they're done".

66% of Parisians voted today to create 500 additional pedestrian streets, replacing over 10,000 parking spots with green space and enhanced pedestrian infrastructure. 📍 Paris 🇫🇷

Today marks 50 years to the day since a riot began in Amsterdam which changed Dutch streets forever... 🧵

After a taste of pedestrianization, look what happens - Parisians want more!

“There is still this idea that 70 or so road deaths a year in Wales is acceptable. But we would never accept 70 deaths a year on the ferry to Ireland, or on buses.” - Lee Waters, Transport Minister for Wales Wales is already seeing reductions in road deaths and injuries. tinyurl.com/Wales20

Sasquatch: *to tv camera* Tonight we will try a human call and hope for a response. *clears throat* 🎵Sweet Caroline🎵 From a distance: 🎵bah bah bah🎵 Sasquatch: You heard that! It was a human! Camera Sasquatch: I don't know. Could be a bird.

Creative solutions to congestion and air pollution in Paris. Can't wait to see these changes in the UK and of course in #Oxford

Buses are held up by congestion just as cars, vans and lorries are. The number of vehicles on our roads needs to come down so people can enjoy travelling by bus, walking and cycling. (btw cycling is fast, good for the mind and the body and cheap) www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2501862...

Really recommend reading this on the reality of claiming PIP. Govt cuts will make this (awful, abusive) system much much worse. "Balancing the books" on the backs of sick and disabled people😭

"A city with many cars is a city with many cars. A city with many cyclists is a city full of life." (Jan Gehl, architect) Cyclists on Neude (square) in Utrecht (NL) in 1935 and 2025. (Latter picture by Edwin Lucas.)

A consistent theme with this British government is that if you’re in a marginalised group they don’t need evidence to justify policy decisions that ruin your life, and they don’t even need to include you in the decision - they simply vibe and the vibe is “Fuck you.”

The 'noise' does not represent the majority. - Hear hear! 😀

Leaving the engine running outside a school is OK. Why do we accept that when we wouldn't allow smoking near children? Maybe a case of car brain. If you're interested to hear more, pick up your free ticket tinyurl.com/carbraincyclox

Watching a man get disappeared for political dissent in the middle of the United States, as the opposition party agrees to give the tyrant a blank check to do whatever he wants

Check out what happens in New York when a CitiBike rider finds a cybertruck in the dedicated bus lane.

This isn't just Blue Sky. Our government has been collecting all phone calls, emails, social media posts, texts, and so on without a warrant since at least the 1990s if not earlier. Take Project Echelon for example. Who knows how many lives those projects have saved, but the risk of abuse is high.

This sentiment has also reached the cycle path in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

European tech industry coalition calls for ‘radical action’ on digital sovereignty — starting with buying local

NOISE is "a silent killer and a slow poison" Dr Masrur Abdul Quader, from Bangladesh University of Professionals. Across Europe, external noise is linked to 12,000 early deaths a year. Traffic is responsible for a lot of this noise. How can we reduce it in Oxford? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A new Not Just Bikes video: “Bergen is a city on the West coast fjords of Norway, surrounded by mountains. And they just built the best bicycle tunnel in the world.” youtu.be/JCedclz03uI?...

Mark Klein, a former AT&T technician who exposed mass surveillance by the U.S. government, has died at age 79. Klein went public in 2006 with documents revealing that the NSA was using a secret room in an AT&T hub in SF to tap into the backbone of the internet. Read more here: tcrn.ch/3FuVKpL

British cycling not good enough re @cycle-folk.bsky.social Road safety must be addressed by "highway engineering which reduces danger from motor traffic, adequate roads policing and deterrent sentencing, and calling out anti-cycling prejudice as the dangerous bigotry it is." road.cc/content/news...

I’ve written a little thing about how cars came to ‘own’ our towns and cities.

100% of Britons have witnessed wage theft but we’re told it’s a good thing and we should aspire to be the wage thieves bsky.app/profile/theg...

Elon's government email is: erm71@who.eop.gov Please don't send anything to it, that would not be good at all! theintercept.com/2025/03/06/e...

They can go fuck ‘emselves next time they want to fuck around and find out in the Middle East, then.
