Live blog: RideLondon bike thief caught on CCTV, Team Sky sell limited edition G t-shirts + more

@DS2025 I'm wondering if the authorities will look into the family situation more. My guess is that this won't be the first time he has driven his kids after drinking and if his partner knew about this (and possibly other negligent parenting) could she face consequences for not taking action to protect her kids?

They are good lights, the reversible lens allowing it to fit either way up and the ability to customise high and low settings without having to scroll through them every time great features. However calling it simple to use is a joke, it only has one button and remembering the correct sequence of presses if you accidentally change something (easily done if it's mounted upside down) without the instructions can be a nightmare.

@Rendel Harris indeed. I always think the same when people are gushing over their partner on social media about the amazing meal they are having with their partner. So amazing that you just had to post about it immediately in the middle of the dinner because you were just having such a brilliant time. Its performative.

@ceppm Wouldn't confidentiality/privacy issues put the mockers on that, unless every cyclist identified gave explicit permission? If I was cycling down a deserted country road and was suddenly mugged for my bike and it transpired that the thief had used Waze/Google to find out I was coming wouldn't the tech companies be at risk of being found liable for enabling them?

If Waze was so worried about cyclists' safety, they could have asked daddy Google for that warning a long time ago. I'm sure there are very clever people in Google that can figure out when a person is on a bike using speed, route and position. Then just pass that data point to Waze. Suddenly hundreds of thousands more cyclists are visible on the app, without having to spend pretty £££.

@andystow To just brush.

Bone conducting headphones connected to an AI chatbot repeating the text 'harden the phuckup and ride faster" will do it every time

@a1white that actually chilled me to read - the notion that a metal box could have more value than a person’s life. Motonormativity at its finest. What a rotten society.

@Rendel Harris but but wasn't it a case of "only hurty words" again? Seems that that is the new "just bants". Which falls somewhere between saying you've a *very* robust belief in the right to say anything, no matter what offence caused * ... and being a (not very) crypto racist / holding other irrational hates. * Most who promote this approach appear unable to sustain it when on the receiving end of criticism - or even questions. It's almost as if people do it just for *certain* kinds of attention, and are seeking an easy win not a fight. There must be a word for that...

@Bungle_52 alas yet more "we're in favour of more cycle infra! We can easily bin it when we need space for anything more important..." Meanwhile in NL even for petrolhead events like a Grand Prix: "You can park your moped or bicycle for free within walking distance of Circuit Zandvoort at one of the specially designated moped and bicycle parking areas..." (And they really do have massive cycle parks, which are very well used!)
