It’s fine to tell cyclists to be mindful when riding fast but a post like this simply feeds into the already existing British anti-cycling rhetoric.
Especially when you don’t make it clear that these cyclists did not break any law.
In the UK, one can barely ride their bike without being verbally abused, and there’s always an existing fear of being hit by a car due to the many close encounters.
It’s one of the most unsafe countries I’ve ever ridden my bike. – at el Prat de Llobregat, Espanya

Just got a reminder from @DVLAgovuk that my driving licence photocard is due to expire after 10years. Why am I not being required to take a retest or refresher at the same time…?!
Hey @BromptonBicycle your after-sales service makes me feel you focus more on the small print than on customer satisfaction. The price includes the experience of dealing with you as well as the bike, no?

We're down to our last few supplies - some pancakes, a few slivers of cucumber and some hoisin sauce - then what's to become of us?

"It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them."

Amid the accusations that Khan is expanding ULEZ out of greed, the covert role of Govt in all this gets conveniently overlooked

Of the 30 hottest days ever recorded, no fewer than 21 have occurred THIS MONTH. Temperatures in July 2023 could well be the highest for 120,000 years. This story is the lead on the BBC website, 7th on The Times, 69th on The Daily Mail, & hasn’t yet been mentioned by The Sun.
Horrific and unwelcome attempt to involve 'data' in a culture war.
Data can't vote.
Drivers at fault in almost three-quarters of all collisions between cyclists and motorists, new data shows
The figures also show that cyclists “wearing dark clothing at night” were at fault for only 19 collisions in Scotland between 2015 and 2021

As Bob Mortimer is trending it’s time for me to share his magnum opus.

And just how much cheese is being transported on French roads at any one time?
🇪🇺🧀🇫🇷 Everyone knows that we at @trade_eu love stats (and good cheese). Did you know that in France, they call a pie chart a Camembert?
So here's a combination of stats and France's most delicious exports. Bonne Fête nationale, mes ami(e)s français(es)! #14juillet
