B @4q2.org · 02/10/2026The whole ebike / emoto thing boils down to: “if you’re on a bike we haven’t cared about your life for a century and done nothing while vehicles became massively more dangerous to peds / cyclists. Oh, something brings huge benefits for biking and slightly increases injuries? SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!” 010
B @4q2.org · 02/10/2026This isn’t some trivial matter. For almost a century the motoring public has slaughtered pedestrians and cyclists while legislatures, media, police, and prosecutors ignored or victim-blamed. E-bikes and e-motos? Police crackdowns, intense legislation focus, media scare stories almost *overnight*. 110
B @4q2.org · 02/10/2026Everyone please stop worrying about “minimizing the danger of high e-bike speeds.” The problem here is that the media and public are wildly exaggerating a VERY small problem AND “BIKE ADVOCATES”ARE HUMORING THEM. While ignoring the overwhelming source of injuries and deaths and decades of inaction. 140
B @4q2.org · 30/09/2026I mean just watch people in SUVs avoid an overly large crack in the pavement. It’s never been about “visibility” 010
Reposted by BFietser @americanfietser.bsky.social · 27/09/2026$3.89/gal for gas in Indiana?! That's too cheap! Why? Because the Republican governor Indiana suspended the gas tax again, meaning car culture is not paying it's fair share and the tax payers at large are subsidizing their driving habits. Sounds like socialism to me. 😂 426336
B @4q2.org · 28/09/2026Also in that thread is a moron who thought himself very clever for thinking a bunch of people WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD were “in church” because they did a reading and sang some songs. 000
B @4q2.org · 28/09/2026TIL Atheists(TM) started multiple religious wars, tortured/murdered people who refused to believe, collaborated with nazis & numerous dictators, raped hundreds of thousands of kids, firebombed medical clinics, murdered doctors, and engaged in horrific labor abuses (Magdalene Laundries anyone?) 300

B @4q2.org · 28/09/2026What do I have to do to get @foryou.club to stop showing me Irish posts? I have clicked “less like this” about a million times now. I don’t even understand how it came to be that 99.9% of the posts in my feed are about Ireland. 000
B @4q2.org · 27/09/2026@spacecowboy17.bsky.social my for-you feed is still nothing but Irish news… 100
B @4q2.org · 27/09/2026My guy, I like your work but some feedback: you are swamping my feed today. 100
B @4q2.org · 23/09/2026That’s the hallmark of any DPW’s cones, silly! Put them right smack in front of obvious danger, never where they’d actually be a useful warning! 000
B @4q2.org · 23/09/2026@spacecowboy17.bsky.social not sure what’s up but my FYF is now literally nothing but posts about Irish and Scottish stuff. Some of it is pretty topical otherwise, but…it’s literally nothing but those two countries. 000
Reposted by BPhilip O'Connor @philipoconnor.bsky.social · 22/09/2026For those who have forgotten: Former Palestine captain Imad Zatara - whose teammates and extended family members have been killed - has asked Irish players, coaches, fans and broadcasters to boycott the games against Israel. 06039
B @4q2.org · 22/09/2026Given ER doctors basically throw themselves at reporters to shriek about helmets and cannot STFU about helmets in the ER itself to the point that it has literally delayed my care, repeatedly, even when there’s plain as day evidence I was wearing one…you may be asking a lot. 010
B @4q2.org · 22/09/2026Honestly I find the cones deployed by most DPWs to be vaguely condescending. Gee thanks, my silly, reckless, dangerous cyclist brain would have missed that obvious danger. Thanks kind sirs! Saved me from becoming a statistic someone uses to argue bike use on the path should have more restrictions 😮💨 110
B @4q2.org · 19/09/2026That had to have been one fuckin’ enormous ebike. But on the plus side just think how many pedestrians are now safe from that scourge! 010
B @4q2.org · 19/09/2026I wonder how many red lights and speeding / failing to stop for pedestrians tickets @rmcunliffe.bsky.social and @davidheniguk.bsky.social have on their records 101
B @4q2.org · 19/09/2026Stopped showing up to a (semi-rural area) cycling club’s rides because the amount of “OH MY GOD YOU BIKED HERE!??” got so tiresome. Like…a 6 mi ride? “BUT IT’S DARK OUT!” “I have my lights, and the roads are basically empty on a Monday night.” “You’re crazy!!” 000
B @4q2.org · 15/09/2026Please stop using strava heatmap data for anything advocacy related and immediately google “cities invisible cyclists”, a very not-new concept in bike advocacy and transpo planning. Nobody competent in transpo planning uses strava data. Especially because it is $$$$. 100
B @4q2.org · 15/09/2026Was this supposed to punish me or intimidate me or…something? Your reaction to being told to *pick up an actual stats report or study* instead of blathering anecdotes says more than I could. 000
B @4q2.org · 15/09/2026You get mugged by an immigrant. You post on social media that immigrants are criminals, smelly, should be held responsible, etc. People point out stats show immigrants commit crime at a lower rate than general population. You shriek about people denying the problem. Now do you see the problem? 100
B @4q2.org · 15/09/2026Another person who considers themselves very smart and yet doesn’t understand the difference between anecdotes and evidence. Or have the slightest awareness of cognitive and observational biases. Go open a study or casualty report, dearie. 130
B @4q2.org · 15/09/2026What road casualty report did you read this in? Oh right, you didn’t. You just opened your mouth and punched down to cash in on bigotry for social media engagement. You realize spreading hate of people on bikes gets people killed right? Like a coward like you is even reading any of this 🐓💩 000
B @4q2.org · 15/09/2026The AAA long ago actually said that the way the public treats people on bicycles shares attributes with racism. Holding an entire group responsible for the behavior of a few or a witnessed incident is a perfect example. 020
B @4q2.org · 15/09/2026Oh look another white straight male highly practiced in the art of telling people they shouldn’t be offended. I wonder why… 000
B @4q2.org · 15/09/2026You sure fancy yourself awful smart for someone who thinks anecdotes are evidence, turns to ad hominem (and plays the victim) almost instantly, and apparently can’t find a road safety stats report if it bit him. Where he’d learn that 99% of pedestrian injuries are caused by motor vehicle drivers. 010

B @4q2.org · 22/08/2026Seriously, Apple. How, twenty five years into an operating system's development, do you fuck up "draw a list of files." Consider that these days a not-insignificant number of the people working on MacOS are making enough money to create generational wealth in a decade. 000
B @4q2.org · 22/08/2026MacOS Tahoe, you're drunk, go home. Seen more graphics related bugs this year than in decades of using Macs combined. Last week, the application switcher icons wouldn't go away. Hoping things improve given Mr. Handbag has finally been sacked but I'm guessing we'll just get more AI garbage 100
B @4q2.org · 22/08/2026She was finally flagged down by a police officer at one of the turns. When we came around again a few minutes later, she was gone. No ticket. Don’t tell me there was nothing the cop could have done, because cops are experts at finding or making up laws and regulations to apply to people on bicycles 000
B @4q2.org · 22/08/2026Finlay Tarling’s death isn’t some outlier. I volunteered to drive the neutral support car for a women’s crit in a rural area. Every intersection had a marshal. Signage had warned drivers the race was coming. I had to use the car to block an enraged woman from trying to pass the entire field. 100
B @4q2.org · 22/08/2026It’s got one thing going for it- it’s not obscenely expensive and (also) useless like a lot of the “artsy” bike lockups. I do not exaggerate when I say some of them cost well past $500/ea when you can but a post/loop for under $200. 020
