Common courtesy or not my problem? Carnoustie Golf Club sign asks cyclists to "be still and quiet" on National Cycle Network path; Training like a world champion? Van Aert's 31km/h, 220km mountain day; Cav and G Jr. eye 2040 Tour + more on the live blog

For some 13 is an unlucky number… NOT for @Mads__Pedersen 🥳🤩#LaVuelta22 pic.twitter.com/cPefEGGDK1

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle impression worked...check one of the earlier live blog posts if you're now very confused...

Mads Pedersen added a Vuelta stage win to his one from the Tour de France, coincidentally also on stage 13. The Dane was head and shoulders, or shell and bandana, above the rest of the peloton today, kicking on the final ramp and easing to victory. Can an uphill sprint be won with an 'easing'? Probably not...

Fred Wright, who was second behind Pedersen on stage 13 of the Tour, finished fourth, Bryan Coquard and Pascal Ackermann getting second and third. In the GC picture there was no change, Remco taking red into a weekend double-header of summit finishes, Sunday's to 2,500m and the Sierra Nevada...

Rode past this recently. Ignored it completely. If the poor wee golfers can handle a <checks notes> 150-tonne *train* moving at 70MPH past them, they can handle my wife and I on our bikes. Utter entitled elitism. Into The Nearby Sea with this. https://t.co/esrNvvJbzx

Plenty of comments about this one...

SimoninSpalding commented: "On the golf sign, does it not make sense for the golfist to wait until the cyclist/ walker has moved away? I would have thought that knowing you have people waiting for you to play your shot so that they can get on with their chosen exercise/ pastime would be somewhat off-putting. Plus if I was paying £270 to wander around a ruined piece of Scottish coastline I would want my money's worth and stay there as long as I could."

PRSboy replied: "I suppose the scenario is, you are cycling along with your mate and note a golfer in the midst of taking a shot. The polite request is that you wait quietly for the shot to be taken before carrying on, which seems fair enough.  I'd imagine a golfer would wait until passers by had gone before getting ready for their shot."

Rendel Harris added: "If I'm riding near a course and come across a player about to make a stroke I will pause for them, however I have been in situations on some trails out in Kent where the trail either has right of way across the course or goes near a tee where a fourball has arrived on the tee and expects cyclists to wait until all four of them have played off, which I don't think is reasonable."

Common courtesy. I don't need a sign to remind me but maybe that's because I used to be golfer and some folk don't realise how seriously some golfers take themselves. 😏

Seems quite polite and reasonable.

I would not expect cyclists to be silent or deferential if I was playing golf, and would be happy to wait 30 seconds for people to pass before I hit a shot. Just normal, mutual respect between folks.

There’s a railway line right beside the path too. Do the trains stop for the golfers too?

Days on from his emotional plea on WUSA9 Dan Langenkamp, the husband of Sarah Joan Langenkamp — a diplomat killed while riding her bike in Maryland last week — has once again spoken of being "livid" about the "way that Sarah died" and said the lack of safe infrastructure is "luring bicyclists to their deaths".

> "You can't just paint lines on roads and think you have bike lanes — those are just death traps": Emotional plea from husband of diplomat killed in collision

"I’m livid about the way that Sarah died," he told Streetsblog USA. "This just didn't need to happen. Cities are, rightly, trying to make themselves more liveable for those that do not want to rely on cars — but at this point, we as a society are only beginning to realise that we can't do it by just throwing paint on the streets… We're luring bicyclists to their deaths.

"Sarah and I have ridden our bikes on roads in Ukraine, in Uganda, in Côte d'Ivoire, but I feel more endangered on roads in the D.C. area than I did [in those countries]. I cannot tell you how many times we have almost been in crashes here because of the carelessness of drivers."

Riding soon after 7am, that is a superstar in my book

This was the scene in one of London's cycle lanes yesterday morning...

The line of cyclists today on CS4 was so long at the lights I didn’t make it through on first sync of lights. pic.twitter.com/YyNBoBLg7R

The lane filled up with riders waiting to cross a junction as the lights were red, creating this 'traffic jam' of 16+ (maybe you've got better eyesight and can pin down the exact number) cyclists, showing the popularity of two-wheeled commuting.

One reply posed the question 'how many cars, probably with one person in them, could fit in the space taken by however many bike riders that is? Three? Four? Or conversely, 'how much further would the queue stretch if all the people on bikes were in cars?' I'm starting to see a pattern with urban mobility, effective use of space and transport for short-distance journeys...

I want traffic jams like this in my city 😍

Absolutely. Actually happy to wait. Really pleasant journey along here today and would take cyclist traffic over motor traffic any day
