I see a lot of people complaining about the undoubtedly stressful conditions at present on London's roads. But I see few people complaining about motor vehicles. Yet in the last 24 hours three vulnerable road users have died after being hit by people driving motor vehicles.

One of the best ways to experience fietsgeluk (cycling happiness) is by pedalling together as an expression of community, and the Cycling Without Age Bike Parade in Budapest was no exception. At a time when cycling has become so politically divisive, it was a beautiful, communal act of celebration!

5) If you are complaining about being ‘nearly’ hit by a bike or seeing cyclists run reds, but you’ve never mentioned the 29,000 motor KSIs or endemic speeding & phone driving; you’re not serious about road danger, you're just unfairly othering cyclists as a uniquely law-breaking collective
What kills pedestrians showing the vast majority are cars, HGVs buses and motorbikes

Today this ‘#entitled’ driver of a massive SUV drove ax my path onto #C9 without indicating, braked hard, did a u-turn and after looking at me sped off. But wasn’t remotely perturbed by his own illegal action.

So another truly dangerous #driver gets away w literal murder, killing a man #cycling, pitiful sentence even tho he'd a history of dangerous driving but was allowed to drive a mega ton truck again. It's why we need decent #cycle infra + why the justice system fails those who choose to #cycle.
