@Aliendojadoll @MayorofLondon 1. You can claim against them. Insurance makes no difference to liability. 2. Car drivers don't contribute to roads - they're subsidised by non-drivers. 3. That damage does not look like it was caused by a bike. It's from a vertical, flat surface. Did you scuff a wall?

In 1924 when Road Tax existed it was £1 per horsepower. Inflation would make that £50 per horsepower in 2023. That would make the Road Tax on an entry level Ford Puma (Britain's biggest selling car) £6,250. Compared to £16.50 for a 250W ebike. Seems fair.

@grantshapps How was it this easy to get injunctions making it illegal to block roads, but we've been waiting years for legislation (and enforcement) against drivers on pavements? It's illegal to drive on or block a pavement. Yet pavement parking is systemic and no action is ever taken.

@jeffbotherway @theJeremyVine @MikeyCycling @Pinarello_Pete @monsieurballard @MikeWat3232 @IndieChris71 @drewsnx @thespikyclub @stuarthelmer @DavidAKirkwood @JulesC109 Well no wonder THIS driver on THIS road drove unsafely close to the back of a cyclist if sometimes some other cyclists don't use a shared pavement somewhere else. I once worked with a guy called Jeff who was rude to women. I punch everyone called Jeff; all Jeffs are just as bad.

I've found a solution for cars abandoned on pavements or in bike lanes.

Great thread about painted, advisory cycle lanes. They've been shown to do far more harm than good - INCREASING the risk of injury to cyclists by 34% according to one piece of research - and should all be removed. I try to avoid roads that have one whenever possible.

We never ran #OpClosePass where there was a cycle lane as it effectively gave offenders a "faux defence" of "well if it's dangerous, why is it designed like that?" which in light of the HC updates earlier this year is even more relevant than ever. #Murderstrips as they are more

Twitter needs a simpler way to "block everyone who liked this post".

@laurencyclist @theJeremyVine @ldnparks @RichmondCycling @London_Cycling @MikeyCycling Interesting "bike lane" there. And obviously by "bike lane" I mean "line of paint on the pavement and give way markings at every junction". I wouldn't use that either. Waste of time, space and money.

The Hell of The North may be over for some, but for those of us who have to get our shopping home from Waitrose on 20" wheels it's never over.

@Samuel_D_Harris You don't understand: - the purpose of mandatory insurance (for activities with a high risk of harm to others) - how roads/cycle lanes are funded (drivers are heavily subsidised) - the concept of "fair" (people who are subsidised demanding others pay more 🤦)

I don't understand why so many people are demanding the Conservative Party give £10million to a billionaire. He's the last person who needs it. Donate it to a charity such as Hope Not Hate or The Race Equality Foundation.

Buying a folding eBike was definitely a factor in giving up my car. Car Club and cheap rental deals for when I do need a car have helped too. Study finds e-bikes may lead to people giving up cars and says they should be at core of planning

@AnnDuffieldnews The cyclist is passing a horse rider - wide and slow like they're supposed to. Why is that a problem for you? Do you hate horses and horsey people as well as cyclists?

This wouldn't happen if... licence/test/insurance/number plates/MOT/"Road Tax"... What did I miss? Glasgow's Kingston Bridge at standstill as two drivers seen 'fighting' on busy motorway

Glasgow's Kingston Bridge at standstill as two drivers seen 'fighting' on busy motorway

Footage shared with Glasgow Live shows the moment traffic is brought to a halt on the busy M8 as two people roll about the ground with each other as stunned drivers look on.
