I know a few cycling forums and twitter feeds that are going to self-destruct today. #Froome”

He couldn’t possibly mean all the people on here who condemned Froomie without being in posession of the facts, could he?

@mitsky KSIs are not "usually accidental"; they are preventable. Even the Government's Road Safety Strategy says that - Vision Zero.

NGL, it's quite easy to avoid Oxford St. I mean, who on earth wants to ride through iPeds and their zombie ilk? I say let it go.

This is exactly the sort of company we should be shouting about in the cycling press. UK based, great products at reasonable prices. This is another good looking bike with a decent spec that looks a lot of fun.

Farage has said at least one thing that is true "Never trust a tory. I'll repeat that, NEVER trust a tory." And he was right, which is why Refuk is full of ex-tories.

@mdavidford while it can, I think of nonsense as more of a "pick your own" (hence bunch-servings) affair rather than BS, which is more like to arrive by itself in a steaming mess, or pile/heap.

@EastLondonCyclingNut I wouldn't be keen to find non-cyclists in my shoes - there wouldn't be room, even though they're fairly "walking-friendly" SPD ones. Not sure if public hire bikes change much. But I do think ultimately things only change when there's a significant fraction of the population with "skin in the game" - either because they cycle regularly themselves or more likely because they know their friends and *children* / other relatives do...

Generally, I get off my bike and walk in pedestrianised areas. Cyclists and pedestrians in close proximity do not mix well. I'd be pretty pissed off if cars decided it was okay to use a cycle lane because they didn't want to use an alternative, legal route.
