Just in: Ridgeback Solo World

@kingleo OK...on the face of it you are saying that all black women share the same traits as all the white women who aren't good enough to ride the Tour. I'm hoping that's not what you're saying, could you elucidate your meaning a little more?

Doubt it - wouldn't they be anti-establishment?

Black women are not good enough to ride the women's Tour de France, the same reason almost all white women are not good enough.

FTFY Nige. No charge.

What shade of red? "Established" one assumes.

Original reporting elsewhere was dangerous driving but now corrected to careless. He still got the minimum ban despite previous convictions for dangerous driving and driving while disqualified. The judge did not take account of the guidelines around statutory aggravating factors and other aggravating factors. Disgusting

🙄 *more* nudge and wink? Is it nearly time for the usual fight with a certain someone and to be off again already?

Must be a revolutionary cyclist in that lane - they're far-left, wearing red, and they're always holding up tanks...

As someone with extensive experience editing Wikipedia, I apply the editor adage "Assume good faith" to my dealings on Facebook and elsewhere. Instead of assuming that Mr Hill is acting in bad faith, malice, or to provoke a culture war, I prefer to see a concerned individual who wants the best for his constituents, providing a modern and efficient road system that works for everybody. It's also disappointing to see condescension and sneering at using Facebook to invite comments and feedback. Facebook and X provide a "local town square" feel, where individuals can engage in direct public feedback to give their opinions and suggested improvements. I'm sure Mr Hill has taken the comments on board, and will give them the due diligence they deserve.

Hmm... so we *are* saying that e-motorbikes are the future then? Because where people can, I suspect most will just use the throttle, because many currently drive cars? And that the answer is just to apply a (powered) speed limit? Of course there hasn't been *massive* takeup of the current e-things, but that's because of cars. (E.g. fewer nice places to ride them). But I do wonder whether there's an opportunity to get people used to active travel and maybe get to a reasonable mix of bikes plus genuine (less-throttled) EAPCs as we start reducing the motor traffic*? Or does it not matter, because human nature - people will not walk if they can pedal and not pedal if they can drive (as demonstrated by mass motoring)? * If only...
