Okay so I might vote in a general election run under a PR system by the time I'm 45. Unless Reform win in a landslide and then decide that FPTP is Good Actually... which unfortunately doesn't seem that unrealistic a scenario.

Needed to pick up my bike after it had been fixed, so I've used a dockless bike for the first time ever (nearest dealer for the brand was is Tower Hamlets). It was a Voi, they're stupidly fast off the mark! Would be great to have an option to tweak the acceleration.

Okay so I have a big ride in Kent that I'm wanting to do tomorrow morning and a bloke riding across a pedestrian crossing over a red light just slammed into my front wheel and burst the inner tube! Less than ideal.

Goo morning @cycleislington.uk! I'm wondering if this is something you've raised before: I'm getting a little annoyed at this part of my commute along C27. Seems like there's a rat run that's been left open via Popham Road / Greenman Street allowing drivers to avoid signalled junction to the north.

Range Rover driver plays chicken with me at the parallel crossing over Waterden Road. Finally he stops, fully over the zebra. Then winds his window down to shout "either go or don't", as if the issue was my lack of trust that they would not run me over in their two tonne vehicle.

I like the idea of a trying to induce leisure / tourism activity through cheap transport fares! But obviously the Deutschland-Ticket would be far less popular if you could only take buses (trams do not exist in most of London) using it.

If the transport secretary is saying privately owned e-scooters will become a legal mode of transport "as soon as parliamentary time becomes available", then planners of new road schemes need to take this into account *today*. Modal share growth for microbility vehicles is inevitable.

£700 seems like a ridiculously good deal for this? Wierd that it doesn't come with a rear rack as standard, and the positioning of the front light could do with a tweak, but otherwise looks like a winner. Bit surprising they're needing to do a fire sale. www.ridgeback.co.uk/ridgeback-er...

This is nice option to see, but I feel like if Decathlon really want to be allies then they should make the points count for more if I make a donation to a charity, instead of it being the same amount of money as I could have off my next purchase.

Found a way to easily query OpenStreetMaps for public e-bike chargers (without requiring installing an app / downloading maps). Just move the map to the area you're interested in and run the query (it will take a long time / error out) if you've selected a large area): overpass-turbo.eu/s/28Wu

Anyone know where I could get something like this printed? It's 11 x 33 x 13mm. I'm trying to move my bike's front light off the fork and onto a mount attached to the stem faceplate. This is after a fruitless afternoon scouring premade mounts, assuming I could find one that would work in a pinch.

I'm staying in Utrecht for a few days. It's absolutely fantastic that you can securely store a bike overnight in several city centre garages, at no cost. Turns what would be a huge headache in most cities into pretty much an afterthought.
