U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Does anyone have a photo of one of those UK dual carriageways where pedestrians are expected to scurry across? If so, could I possibly get a copy to use for a talk?

A picture of a sticker on a wooden surface. The sticker is black with the following text in white: 

Been waiting long?

That's because the council thinks someone in a car, a quarter of a mile away, is more important than you*.

They could make the lights change as soon as you press the button if they wanted, but they don't.

Complain to them.

* A car moving at 30 mph will travel a quarter of a mile in 30 seconds.

Second Irish firm starts to supply Dutch-style ‘entrance kerbs’ as part of active travel range
Another Irish company has started supplying councils with Dutch-style ‘entrance kerbs’ — a key traffic-calming feature for continuous cycle paths and footpaths — as part of its range of active travel kerbs. Killeshal Precast Concrete, a company based in County Offaly, said that they are "proud to announce the official launch of our Active Travel Kerb Range manufactured here in Ireland."

The strategic road network is managed by a charity and relies on the goodwill of land owners for access. Some motorways will be muddy and flooded each winter. Also The strategic road network stops randomly at council boundaries and investment is where councils are willing. (UK edition).

Did anyone spot the Christmas tree in a Stevenage underpass recently? Find out why it was there 👉 www.cyclinguk.org/group/post/i... We have written once more to Hill and councillors - at both SBC and HCC. We have just one request: "Please could everyone work together for a solution?"

The reflective strips show a person cycling. There are Christmas lights hanging above the image of the person cycling.

It misses many people who would be able to use it as it stands. For eg, many cycle instructors can not use it because they are not PAYE (or, as in my case, subcontracted to an agency). I would want to use it to get an e-bike to extend my commuting range. So £3-4k I guess for decent quality/range.

My post is a "subtle" dig at the local council who upgraded the road without adding any cycle infrastructure, which would have been entirely possible and far more cost effective than adding it later.
