Stop what you're doing and watch this.vimeo.comCity of Cars: shorter versionPlease be aware that this film contains scenes which show the impact of road traffic collisions, which some people may find upsetting. 27532

pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Wait till you try Diamines new range of permanent inks. I thought it was some kind of black magic when I tested its waterproof was. Just amazing! 010
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Just sit there until it is safe to pass. It’s not creepy, it’s considerate. Just don’t drive too close and tail gate. That can feel like you are hurrying them up. 030
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 14/09/2026The key wording is “safely pass”. I have no problems with that, it’s the ones who don’t obey the Highway Code and squeeze past at high speed that annoy me. Also if they do so, only to then turn in front of me 2 secs later. I mean, come on, just wait the little bit extra to be safe and considerate. 010
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I have been overtaken on my bike (a close pass as well) by a taxi, only to pass it 5 mins later as it is stuck in traffic. They will get annoyed about a bike, but accept the traffic. Driving a car really does prevent critical thinking about transport. 230
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 14/09/2026True, but even when they do see you they can cut you off, or pass close, or race to get ahead, just to turn in front of you 2 secs later. It’s like their convenience trumps your right to be safe. 020
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Only if you promise to feed us lots of Guinness. 020
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 03/09/2026As some one who was run off the road by a truck in my morning bike commute, this makes perfect sense to me. 000
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I don't post much, because I never really feel I have much to say. Tonight though I just want to pay my respects to the great Dolly Parton. I was lucky enough to see her in concert, and she was amazing. A true entertainer, and what a voice. RIP and GNU Dolly, your light will forever shine. 120
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Today was very much a bike solidarity day today. I saw many other people out in their bikes while I ride to and from the Uni today. Everyone of them gave me the nod as we passed going in opposite directions. Some even gave voice to shared recognition. Just thought I'd share. 010
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 16/08/2026You will find your self riding a lot more, so if that's what you want, do it! E-bikes are fun. I have no knowledge of that particular make or model, but I love my E-assist bike. 020

pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 07/08/2026My take as I, on my legal pedal assist, was over taken up a hill by an "illegal" modified e bike rider who was not pedaling? "Hey that was nice and quiet. He should get that licensed, but at least he isn't riding a motorbike or driving a car and passing too close, and making climate change worse." 030
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Not to down play the issue, but most of those look like the sort of marketing waffle most institutions come up with as "Strategic Mission statements." You know the type "we will strive to be excellent at everything we do, even in being excellent" 030
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I also wonder how exactly they plan to investigate those sub-cortical circuits? I mean, it's not like they are easy to probe with any of our current neuroimaging techniques. 001
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 25/07/2026They are a popular food item in parts of Spain and Greece. 010
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 20/07/2026That's not information, that's noise, and there is enough of that already. 010
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Not to mention that whole "developing new and novel information in your field" aspect that gen AI can't really do. 141
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 19/07/2026What a match. If only football was like that more often, I might become a fan, even if the ball is the wrong shape. 010
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I mean, a large scale clinical trail of vaccines and then monitoring for Autism, funded by NIH may not be a bad thing? I mean, it wouldn't show the result he wants, but come on, it'd be the only way to know for sure right? 😉 maybe use the cervical cancer vaccine? 😉 020
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Of course! Unfortunately, I live in a balanced state of deficit right now in regards to that equation. (Only n bikes right now). A trailer will likely be coming instead. 010
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Never too many bikes. The correct number of bikes is n+1, where n is your current number of bikes. 110
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 09/07/2026My hot take: bike lanes, and mixed use cycle paths are not really for the convenience of Cyclists. They are for the convenience of car drivers. Basically, they are so those of us riding a bike don't slow a driver down. Why is a drivers convenience more important than a cyclists? 010
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 24/06/2026@amycchambers.bsky.social, @lskains.bsky.social, you should send them info on the Women do Sci-fi work! 010

pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 19/06/2026One thing that confuses me - this is supposedly partly being done to allow soldiers religious autonomy. To my knowledge, all religions consider killing someone a sin/ bad thing. Somehow I doubt soldiers no longer have to shoot/bomb/kill people to allow them the freedom to observe their religion. 000
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Does he mean ice? I mean that is structured water... 000
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 11/06/2026I do feel my riding has gotten stronger, and so am planning to see how I handle the acoustic bike for the whole commute soon. I'll let you all know how that goes. (All 3 who will likely see this post😉). 020
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 11/06/2026I know some like to say using an e-bike is cheating, but I will only say this in reply: "There is no way I would have put that sort of milage in the acoustic in a similar time frame, especially as the commute that forms all this milage has two rather large hills." 010
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 11/06/2026A screenshot of the odometer reading from my E-bike. Showing I've riden 1,103.7 miles since purchasing it in February. Not too shabby. 230
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 07/06/2026And they're us not a thing anyone can do about it...🤘 010
Reposted by @pgmm03.bsky.socialMark Miodownik @markmiodownik.bsky.social · 03/06/2026This is an incredible finding. If reproduced could bring big health benefits. Am wondering if big cycling nations have lower Alzheimers and dementia. 911921
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Exactly. Not riding a "dandy horse" like this? CHEATING! 020
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 18/05/2026The bike is already a cheat. Next time tell her to get off and run/walk instead of using wheels and gears to cheat! 😉 050
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 18/05/2026I hit 36 mph down hill on the way home. This is down the hill that made me get an E bike for the commute in the first place. I've done the same speed on an acoustic bike as well. Gravity is my friend. 010
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Also, the bike itself, whether "acoustic" or "electric", is a cheat. It's a way to go farther and faster with less effort. Add in modern gearing, and even more so. So those bike bro jabronis should get over themselves. 030
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 18/05/2026This is gorgeous. Is it up as a print on your shop? 110
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 17/05/2026As some one who rides about 109 miles (162 km) a week committing on my pedal assist E-bike, I can confirm it's still a work out and still exercise. Labradog can come and ride my commute on his acoustic, or my E-bike and tell me it's not a workout either way. One is just a bit faster. 180
pgmm03.bsky.social @pgmm03.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Maybe get them to rank them in order of preference - score based on order (6 for first, 5 for 2nd etc), then add all the scores up, lowest score gets the chop? 010
