Small blonde persons on wobbly bikes can have a surprising turn of speed, especially when they go through a group of joggers…

The problem, of course, is that hi-viz and particularly yellow hi-viz blends into foliage backgrounds, particularly when drivers are distracted. Railtrack insists on orange for lineside workers… There’s this famous photo from Surrey Police RPU, too

I don’t do nasal tubes all that often these days and when I do it tends to involve the fibre optic. In my first anaesthetic job I did a *lot* of OMFS trauma and as @clamc.bsky.social says nasal tubes just go straight in under DL/VL. Jacques catheter was a nice trick though.

(To go down an #AnSky hole, the theatres in question were still in use until not that long ago, had massive warning signs about not having anti-static flooring & the risk of using a flammable anaesthetic agent, and had a cupboard full of Fluotec 7s that were being serviced regularly but not used)

Good work by @theguardian.com looking for a stock image of a typical Dutch fietser for this article
Someone wearing a helmet and Lycra on an MTB, rather than the more typical Dutch look of normal clothes, no lid and town bike.

This panel from this Brett Hamil cartoon says it all really. It’s really not unreasonable to very slightly inconvenience drivers to make our towns and cities nicer and healthier #ActiveTravel

As I’m sure @dreadships.bsky.social can point out they mean “naval vessels” unless someone has recommissioned HMAV Ardennes
This is a military vessel, as it belonged to the Army. Warships are naval vessels, as they belong to the Navy.

It’s a South Park reference, for when a corporate body announces a plan to achieve something with no robust plan to get there. So, *exactly* like the GM #CleanAirZone, but can also be applied to any plan to increase #ActiveTravel without robust infrastructure or LTNs.

Cutting the cost of alternatives to private car use is absolutely the right policy, but there’s no mention of #ActiveTravel despite this being in line with our core values. We absolutely do not want the #InducedDemand that goes with cheaper private car use #EvidenceBasedPolicy
Recent DfT report defining that cheaper private car use is a cause of #InducedDemand
