https://road.cc/content/news/council-missed-fatal-pothole-focused-dangers-cars-304489 Death of Harry Colledge, and the famous road chasm which oscillated in and out - that was the ludicrous suggestion of the county council when excusing itself for ignoring it

It's not in the UK - it's Ireland, where there doesn't seem to be any minimum age restriction.

What an absolute nonsense that Women's tour of Britain stage two was. Rubbish, cut-price stage, unbecoming of professional athletes, missing out the nice bits of the Forest of Bowland (why not do the cross of greet at the start or go over the trough?) and then didn't even properly make it into Blackpool. At least finish 1 km further down the road outside the Pleasure Beach if you're going to run it, or even better pretend you're in Paris and finish at the tower.

It's probably not the principal writing it themself, though. I mean, what school principal knows how to use Instagram? Never mind inflict this kind of abuse on the account name:

@Cycloid London eh? Standard of driving there is somewhere between Marrakesh and England.

The comments on Facebook where this was shared were fairly standard, 95% anti-cyclist split fairly evenly between: - If you can't see that you shouldn't be on the road [I did try to suggest that at night in the rain or with ground mist it might not be easy to spot, "Well you shouldn't be riding then"] - Good, traps for cyclists, hope they catch plenty - When cyclists pay to use the roads they're entitled to ask for repairs and not before - Bike tyres do more damage to roads than car tyres [made me wonder if Nige was spreading his bread far and wide] and of course - When the cracks are big enough to damage my Porsche Cayenne alloys I'll worry. Lovely.

RE: e-bike ban I'm not clear what they're banning here? Is it e-bikes that pupils ride to school on being stored on school grounds? If pupils are riding e-bikes to school they should be at least 14 (in the UK). The school I work in has told me that their buildings insurance doesn't cover them for e-bikes unless they are stored a minimum distance from the school building - apparently our insecure bike rack with no roof isn't far enough from the building. I keep my ebike in my classroom. If there's a problem I'm happy to remove the battery so it's no longer an ebike (the battery will be behind my desk, plugged into a charger). So maybe it's a problem with insurance if ebikes are left in the bike racks/shelter? If they're saying parents can't take kids to school on e-cargo or similar bikes, they can f... off. It's none of the school's business what mode of transport parents choose to use - unless it's illegal or being used illegally (such as all the SUVs stopping on the zigzags outside the gate).

@mctrials23 Same. Ditch. Crash into it if needed.

How do congratulate the BBC for not running that story with an 'e-bike menace' headline?
