What makes Demi Vollering the greatest stage racer of her generation? + The growth of women’s cycling and why the Tour de France Femmes’ visit to Mont Ventoux was so significant

£6k and you don't even get carbon bars?

This is the solution - get rid of the silly zebra crossing. Why was this ever deemed necessary in the first place? Most of the time pedestrians will cross without using the zebra crossing anyway.

They need to change their insurance then.

Driver had to urgently deliver a consignment of ferrets to protect their welfare.

Driver was committed to the overtake.

Under the law of it's their land and they can do what they like.

"The Square Mile of the City of London has applied its 20mph speed limit to bicycles as well as vehicles." Bicycles are vehicles.

Under what law?

@ROOTminus1 I can see the valid argument for not requiring beacons (horrifically expensive because they require power). The solution is do what lots of other countries in Europe do. Retroreflective warning signs. If Austrian drivers can reliably give way at a zebra crossing under a couple of inches of snow (seriously, I was wondering why drivers were so nice about letting me cross to my hotel when skiing, until day 5 when the snow melted enough to see the road markings!) then british drivers and cyclists should comfortably cope without needing lit signage and instead just have reflectors.

There is a slight question as to whether some people with eg sight impairments have simply been overlooked in NL, just like they normal are here. That's because attitudes to cycling are somewhat like people drive here eg. it's just accepted that cycle paths are *for cycling*. Still much better than cars though I'd suggest. Ultimately in a car you're invulnerable and can barely hear the cries of horror and disapproval. Plus the world is still telling you you're more important than anyone without a car...
