When the car-brains complain about how "all cyclists are a menace", this is who they're referring to.

Continuing my post of private cash-logistics companies that think they are above the law. It’s not as if a shopping centre wouldn’t have a rear car park they could use. And surely it’s safer for the worker to be walking into a secure rear car park rather than the exposed front?

No parking space immediately outside the shop you’re visiting? No worries! Just slap it in the bike lane. Zigzags? No worries! It’s not like the council are gonna come around and actually enforce this stuff

G4S really think it’s acceptable for a private company to park in the bike box at a hugely busy junction. If they cared so much about the safety of the public then they wouldn’t park like this. Especially not during the morning rush-hour.

I’ve actually never seen a London double decker bus do a 3-point turn. Impressive. Although it was pretty annoying for the poor cyclist on the other side stuck waiting for this driver who couldn’t follow a closed road/diversion sign.

Couldn't make it up! A car crashed into a shop on Portway while residents were marching for road safety improvements for Portway. Residents walked past this shop just a couple of hours before the crash.

Car-brained drivers want all of these cyclists off of their bikes and sat behind the wheel of their car.

When a driver beeps their horn at me, I know it’s a cry for help and attention. So I usually stop my bike fully in the path of the driver and ask them if they need any assistance. So often they don’t appear to need my help after all so eventually I ride off…..slowly…… in the middle of the lane.

I’m sure if I parked my bike in front of their van and said “just go around it” then these guys would be very chill about it.

It’s one crime to drive such a stupid vehicle in London but it’s a whole other ballgame to park it on the pavement like this

But why do cyclists insist on not using the bikes lanes?

No you’re right, it’s fine. How dare I try to walk on the narrow pavement when I should instead just walk in the road

These drivers aren’t illegally parked on the pavement. They’re illegally driving on the pavement because there are so many private cars stored on public land on the other side of the road that oncoming traffic would take off their wing mirrors if they didn’t drive at pedestrians on the pavement.

Car-brained driver believes that a law-breaking driver has a much to break the law as my kids do to be able to get to school without having to mix with drivers on the road.

Decided to treat myself to post-birthday walk. 14miles and 32,000 steps later and I’m wrecked. Feet killing me and I’m having to walk like a cowboy. Not sure I’ll make this a regular thing.

We really do need to do something more to restrict e-bikes. They’re destroying our pavements and making pedestrians unsafe. Look at how big this particular e-bike was!

Whoops! I’ve done and gone and done it again. Another entitled Lycra clad cyclist ready to demand safe cycling infrastructure so she can get to school without worrying about dangerous drivers. 3 kids. All on pedal bikes before the age of 5. Mission accomplished.

Caught a distracted driver using their phone today. He was very startled but recovered enough to shout “You’re one of those Cycling Mikey bastards aren’t you???!!!” @cyclingmikey.bsky.social you should be flattered! And not just because of how handsome I am but for your impact on road safety.

I don’t think we should allow cars into the park at all Let them stop at the car park Because Parks are where cars are not That is the pleasure of the park

Reason #58964 why drivers need to be banned from the park. Each one should be issued with a penalty ticket and a further fine for risking a wildfire by parking their hot car engines over tinderbox dry grass in a special conservation area. #RichmondPark

It’s hard to see because of all the tyre marks from large motor vehicles but this is actually a shared pedestrian/cycle path.

The people who complain about empty bike lanes do not want full bike lanes. They want no bike lanes.

The council are re-surfacing the road so we get a brief glimpse into how awful this road looks when we don’t have dozens of citizens storing private property on it all the time. Thank god public space is able to be used, for free, by privileged car owners.

Crazy that a major event in the Borough (an annual event so hardly a surprise!) would have zero bits of information about the event beyond a generic blurb. And then they'll complain about low attendance numbers and reduced funding.

Maybe I should be grateful that at least this idiot didn’t block the bike lane? Either way, the parking gods did not favour the driver today.

My 7yr old has a love of pirates. He’s got every single modern children’s book about pirates. He’s now working his way through every pre-modern pirate book for children. Earlier today I heard him earnestly shout at his sister “confound you, you lily-livered blackguard!” Never been so proud.

Can’t believe the excitement in Central London right now for an 8pm kick off. Everyone’s talking about the game. I can hear people saying the names of players. Fans are wearing their kit. The beers are flowing. Can even hear some chanting off in the distance. All this for Egnatia v Petroclub!!

Hard to see in the first photo but the black car driver has stopped in the middle of the road to take pictures of the deer under the tree. Sadly, by the time I got close enough to catch it on camera the driver had started to put the phone back in the holder.

Car brains will look at this image & tell you that the problem is those 2 hire bikes on the pavement. What do you mean you can’t see them? Next to the HGV that’s parked on the pavement. No! Not that HGV on the pavement. The other HGV that’s on the pavement. Yes!! Those hire bikes are the problem.

Just a reminder: if I'm killed by a driver while I'm walking or biking, the local safe street advocates have my permission to use my death as a bludgeon against electeds who have made insufficient progress on safer streets
