Commuter diaries – “gonna need a bigger boat!”

Filters? As long as they're modal filters I'm all for it! (Been quietly for that all the time, just like ... many UK LAs in fact https://therantyhighwayman.blogspot.com/2022/10/filtering-1980s.html?m=1 )

It still seems to be letting others post bilge - like stuff about how no-one ever uses cycle lanes, for example - so the quality filter clearly still needs some adjustment.

I hear you, spangly. Can advise that were you considering buying a winter jacket out of normal winter jacket buying season, this will still be a really good winter jacket next time winter rolls around.

Ah annoying site controls again... my comment was duff though - so perhaps the system is better than I'm giving it credit for?

RE:

It's all about the many, many, many...

The problem with providing this content in autumn is that a winter jacket needs to be tested in the winter.

Momentary lapse in concentration. Otherwise law abiding.

I’d be more convinced that this legislation really was about safety if penalties for injuring a fully viz’ed cyclist were increased and made less discretionary. You can’t mandate hi viz and let motorists feel they can still rely on SMIDSY as a defence.

Not oblivious at all. I went Quad Lock all those years ago for the in-car (well, van) mount and the belt attachment. Now I have the phone securely mounted wherever I go. It does mean I have to buy a new phone cover every time I get a new phone, but all the other mounts stay the same and the phone 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 bounce if dropped. This SKS beastie looks to be a good enough single use system, great if all you want to do is mount it to your bike, but how does it cope with your car, your motorbike and your belt?
