C) It is perfectly possible to own a car and also do most of your journeys NOT by car (and/or want to reduce how many journeys you drive). D) What do the many people who don't have a car do?

Dave Redford @dave9bikes.bsky.social · 30/09/2026YouTube ad placement annoys me to an inordinate degree. I'd usually go with Hanlon's Razor but I do wonder if the degree of intrusiveness is a deliberate nudge tactic. If so it ain't gonna work! 010

Dave Redford @dave9bikes.bsky.social · 17/08/2026In case you're having trouble visualising that number, a trillion litres is a *cubic kilometre*. (I don't actually know if that helps or not!) That's enough to drain Lake Windermere every 4 months, or Loch Ness every 7½ years. It's 80% of the flow rate of the river Mersey! youtu.be/R6nbWVFg6kw?... 010

Reposted by Dave RedfordChad @kitation.co.uk · 05/08/2026This might be a bit niche, but it’s very annoying hearing of organisations saying “well it’s the law to segregate trans people so hands are tied” when most of them respond to accessibility law with “eh who’s gonna catch us?” 012246

Reposted by Dave RedfordAshleeee 🌊🪭 @reactiveashley.cat · 09/07/20261/🧵 The EHRC Code of Practice recommends but does not require that businesses segregate trans folks. My advice to businesses is to ignore the EHRC and do business as usual, to be unapologetically trans-inclusive, and, whenever someone demands exclusion, to direct them to single-occupancy facilities. 626598
Dave Redford @dave9bikes.bsky.social · 30/06/2026True. We used to have some characterful bangers but a few years ago we bought a 5yo car from some friends. It's efficient and reliable and so boring we struggle to find it in a car park. Bicycles are definitely more interesting! 031
