I've decided to make the leap properly. I'm heading off to #bluesky and going to post pretty much everything there. I'm going to leave this active and I can be contacted here, but this won't be my main place any more. Hope to see you all on the other side!

The block function is something I've used increasingly over the past years due to the increase in toxicity in this place. There are definitely people I don't want to see or to see me. Should it come to pass I believe Bluesky will become my new home. Sad that it's come to this.



Just a quick message to say, if your thinking of leaving Twitter and popping over to #BlueSky, just do it. It's getting busier all the time and the air is much cleaner. I hope to see you there!

I'm not really posting on here anymore due to the change in blocking policy (I'm on BlueSky) , but this is important for folk living in East Dunbartonshire. New information is out regarding the cycle infrastructure between Torrance and Milngavie, roads I cycle on and have...

Today, a small victory for accuracy as National Highways says it has stopped using the word ‘accident’ when describing road collisions impacting its roads: fleetnews.co.uk/news/national-…

If only …

Tarmacing over not just your entire driveway and front garden - but the entirety of the very generous garden that wraps around three sides of your house? Go directly to Jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.

Your regular reminder that replacing a regular lane with a cycle lane does not reduce road capacity, it massively increases it, because single occupancy vehicles are the least space-efficient form of transport. You just can't take advantage of that capacity increase in your SUV.

"Locals unhappy with plan to halve capacity of the A103 in Haringey" Surely it's the direct opposite? A single lane for bicycles has a monumentally greater capacity than a single lane for motor vehicles.

I think we're on replay 15. Here's a few I slapped together from the livestream. Can't ever get bored of this!


If only there was a way for drivers to avoid this...

How Britain works and why you'll never have nice things in one simple to understand tweet.

What’s the collective noun for Baronesses? My sister Catherine (aka Baroness Smith of Cluny) being introduced to the House of Lords by Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws ⁦@HelenaKennedyKC⁩ and Baroness Smith of Gilmorehill (aka Mum)

Police have now visited regarding this incident and completely agree that this driving needs dealt with. They'll be contacting the company to identify the driver next week. 👍

100% intentional close pass tonight. The passengers were shouting that I should be further left, the driver swerved his vehicle towards me to hammer in the point. In a company vehicle. Yeah, this will be getting reported.

🥁For the last year, I’ve secretly been working on a brand new film, and I can finally tell you all about it. 🥁 It follows a group of amazing women who cycle in Africa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The film is 15 mins long. Deborah, Nadia and the others in … 1/9

Hi Brannagan and Brown building service. Do you really think, this is acceptable? But I might just push my bike through the gap.... @geologiser @magnatom
