Well this arrived on Friday. Last 20 months of a lease so effectively try before we buy. It’s an absolute delight to drive. Still need to sit down and work out the infotainment system. But it’s gorgeous.

Cycling in Victoria is glorious. Lots of protected bike lanes and trails, and then a free Bike Valet downtown. Cc @brenttoderian.bsky.social

Of course this hack went in to the Torygraph’s London office to file this opinion piece.

Yes @helenrumbelow.bsky.social, that’s the point. If you want to drive fast and risk death (ideally your own, not pedestrians’) then go to a track day. 20 zones are there because drivers continue to ignore the impact of their selfish behaviour on others. Maybe switch to cycling for a while, Helen.

And that is why it’s called Good Friday. I’ve felt ropey all day, Saints were three scores down and get four tries in the last 10 minutes against the pies. Woohoo!

Now this does seem steep for building a bike path. But the reporting is hilarious. Stress from a 10 minute driving detour. Counting to 11 on one hand. It is, of course, not being funded by the council despite the misleading headline.

A telegraph headline stating “Labour council spends £3.8m on 197m bike lane”.
The picture shows a group of people standing by the Road Closed sign.

“Neighbours said they were suffering from health problems because of the stress caused by the project, which has forced motorists to take a 10-minute diversion after a main road was closed to traffic for the works. It is scheduled to remain shut until April next year.”

“An average of only 11 cyclists a day use the current route, according to data disclosed by the council under Freedom of Information laws.
Mike Selby, 73, said: “You can genuinely count on one hand the number of cyclists. It’s ridiculous.”

It’s all the woke voters ganging up on poor little Matt. They simply cannot accept that ordinary people are decent and despise their nasty politics.

“Speaking to journalists as he arrived at the count, Goodwin blamed his loss on “a coalition of Islamists and woke progressives” he said had “come together to dominate the constituency”.”

I see the problem. It’s all the cycle lanes, which would reduce a 1.5 mile commute to maybe 8 minutes if you go slow with a couple of stops.

It’s the bloody cycle lanes causing congestion again, apparently. Not the people driving 1.5 miles.

Well, they might be more aware of the pain at 5mph, true. But only because death is likely painful yet short.

And for everyone loving Active Travel, this is glorious. So much space for cycling to the match; Malmö was the same.

Row upon row of bikes parked at the stadium.

And now for Match #2. Brøndby vs FC Midtjylland. Proper old school stadium. Right behind the goal too. Would be dangerous if either team had Jerry Yates! #RamsOnTour #dcfc

Well said, Irna Got it in one.

But Irna Boicuk backed the scheme: "I welcome it. People were driving like crazy – how they drive is not safe.
"I'm not surprised about the fines – people just don't follow the rules these days."

Now do an article looking at how many drivers regularly exceed the speed limit. I bet it’s not a small number of habitual offenders. @thetimes.com

Absolute guff from the former US ambassador to the EU. Saying that US cars should be viewed as being as safe as EU cars is nonsense given the massive disparity in KSI rates of both occupants and pedestrians. We should not concede on this issue @uklabour.bsky.social

Gordon Sondland states EU safety rules for vehicles are a form of protectionism.

The Torygraph was clearly asleep during the Cameron, Johnson and Truss days. And they’d never dream of supporting Farage.

Sure. www.statista.com/chart/3848/t... Here’s a chart showing the US (with the death penalty) murder rate being significantly higher than Western Europe (which doesn’t kill its citizens). Our kids also don’t know what a duck and cover drill is.

A chart with the US having a murder rate of 5.2 homicides per 100000 population and Western Europe around 1.1 or lower.
