I'd make some comment about it being like shooting fish in a barrel except I think shooting fish in a barrel would be more difficult.

Two drivers who were racing each other through Leeds at up to 90mph in a 40 limit until one list control and killed a mother on daughter on the footway have both been jailed for 12 and 16 years. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

And I'd prefer it if you weren't so close given there's plenty of opportunity to slow down, hang back, and overtake safely. Posts like this really put cyclists at risk judging from the replies.

Messing around with clocks every year "so it's safe for kids to walk to school" is yet another casual widespread acceptance that people driving cars won't do so safely

Parkrun has changed my life, I got into it as something to take my mind off losing a few friends in a short space of time (turned out to be 12 in 11 months) but I've channelled that grief into loving this community that wants nothing but the best for me. Parkrun has saved my life

What are you afraid of? Sharks🦈, lions🦁,bears🐻? Terrifying. Car traffic kills way more people than animals ever could. Even when excluding indirect harm. Watch out for the real predators🚗!

Why do drivers always act so surprised when caught? Is it because they know they are doing wrong, and simply think there aren't enough police to catch them? youtu.be/gUgkykHy5HU

NIN released Pretty Hate Machine this day in 1989. Here is my original PHM t-shirt that became too mangled to wear so I safety pinned it on my jacket. My mom kept it in memory box for me. 🔥❤️🖤

Dear photographers, Please do not assume that a mobility aid user does not want their mobility aid in the photos. Please do not ask a mobility aid user if you want them to hide their mobility aid or have it removed for the photo. Please do not suggest the world looks nicer without mobility aids.

Footway gullies for ev charging cables can now be installed dependent on the local authority. I still think these are a bad idea. They will create even more territorialism on streets with more cars than space. Lazy ppl won't be arsed to push cable into gully. www.theguardian.com/money/2026/o...

So @ealingcouncil.bsky.social , you'll be doing this for cars and vans that block the footpath? Right? Like vans that park all the way across a pavement for hours? I mean they're both private/ commercial vehicles. And its the same inconvenience www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The perfect metaphor for Apple design these days

And what are your plans for the thousands of people on bikes, Mr Mayor ? @london.gov.uk @londoncycling.bsky.social @willnorman.co.uk

So much to unpack here, but at its core, it's the stubbornness of a Britain which cannot resolve the very clear conflict between (motor traffic) movement and place. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We know what needs to be done. Low traffic neighbourhoods. Lowered speed limits. Clean air and ulez zones. Let's just do it. A few drivers may get upset, but clean air and healthy lungs are worth that. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Dream big.

😁😁😁

Amazing that councils can find these powers when they want to. Now do cars you cowards. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's really infuriating to be told "cyclists don't follow the rules" in Southern California where as a driver if you go the speed limit and make full stops at stop signs, the driver behind you will go into a full on psychopathic temper tantrum.

if i take a walk in my little walkable neighborhood to buy fresh flowers and crunchy nectarines and my serenity is punctured by the sound of your tesla flipping in the air, i will blow up your car with a rocket launcher

Hey @ldntravelwatch.bsky.social, two questions: 1) Can you publish your actual tangible alternative designs? 2) What is your optimum number of dead cyclists? We need @london.gov.uk and @willnorman.co.uk to take them to one side for a chat

Run over cyclist: Free to go Block a remote controlled toaster: Straight to jail

Yesterday, we took hundreds of your personal stories to 10 Downing Street, joined by supportive MPs & inspiring women driving change in their communities. We called for safer cycling for women as part of #MyRideOurRight 🎥 Watch the highlights 👇 https://www.cyclinguk.org/blog/visiting-downing-street

Just incredibly selfish as well as dangerous. But we know that driving really magnifies and holds a mirror up to the worst traits of people. road.cc/news/motoris...

It would be easy to allow prosecution of ghost plates via #opsnap reporting portals. Several forces have tried previously. The penalty is far too low at £100. It needs to be much higher or even the criminal offence of attempting to pervert the course of justice. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

£5.62 returned for each £1 spent on cycling investments, finds @cyclinguk.bsky.social study www.cyclingelectric.com/news/5-62-re...

Attitudes like this are why we need mandatory speed limiters in vehicles. Does clever boy here just shoplift because he feels a price has no relation to worth? Only when driving do people feel it's fine to ignore the law and be completely anti social. And yes speeding is anti social.

This @nyc.streetsblog.org story highlights horrifically and graphically many, many of the things wrong with the culture around traffic all over the world: nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/10/09/o... It is utterly disgusting that so many commenters seem to be blaming the child victims.

I talk a lot about major transport investment, but one of the biggest bangs for the buck policy-wise would be a full pavement parking ban and more rigid enforcement of traffic rules. Enforcement is so lax that this stuff is just completely normalised now, and it's unacceptable.

This. The UK should take a zero tolerance stance to things like pavement parking. The police could easily take a stance that vehicles are obstructions that were driven on and act on 3rd party photo and video submissions. See also dodgy number plates.

"exemplary character" Presumably apart from when ever the maniac gets behind a wheel. A suspended sentence will do bugger all, but a much longer driving ban than 2 years would. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It should not take someone to die and a ghost bike to be placed to get safe bike infrastructure.

Add Karen Smith to my list of badasses whose mouthy approach I respect. Actions usually speak louder than words. This is a hero, Y'all. Well done, Ma'am. You're gonna kick ass in your new position. ✊📖

Just a 3 year jail term and a 6 year driving ban for killing someone whilst driving. On her phone and doing 80 along a country road, possibly late for a hair appointment. Should be a life driving ban. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sorry to dunk on your old boat fun, but keeping tall ship access to the Pool of London is why we have no walking and cycling bridge downstream of Tower Bridge - the clearance needed by the Port of London makes bridges really expensive and it's time to remove that restriction.

I always leave the door zone clear past there: it's prime location for doors being opened quickly. Especially the car that had just pulled in. So no, I'm not going to cycle "near the edge" Mr Shouty Driver Who Hooted Me.

Cities around the world are taking action to control the threats posed by ebikes in cities.

#DriverSparedJail after blaming the sun for his failure to see another road user, and killing them. The sun goes up and down in a regular and predictable pattern. Perhaps a spare pair of sunglasses should be a mandatory requirement in every car. road.cc/news/augsept...

Pedestrian islands are not refuges. They don't slow down drivers, & they leave pedestrians in a hazard or place. If there's space for a pedestrian island, there's space to widen the pavements, narrow the carriageway, and install a raised crossing.
