Looks like there’s some kerfuffle about everyone poisoning the air that we breath.

Thanks. When in hospital at age 10 with not many hours on a pair of same leg snapped bones my temperature rose.

shall we start with you?
well, I was thinking more along the lines of starting the cull and the mass murder with you and yours, not reading your biography. I’ve noticed that people who advocate this sort of population control always think overpopulation refers to other people, and the killing never starts with them.

I commute across Bristol
I commute across Bristol every day, often on my bike. The stench of petrol and diesel (diesel in particular) often makes me feel VERY sick when I cycle – the pollution is horrendous.
I support a total ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel private vehicles. This would have the added benefit of making the UK a massive market for electric vehicles, which should mean we would develop some of the best infrastructure for electric cars in the world and, potentially, become world leading in electric vehicles and their manufacture (something I, as an engineer, am very interested in!).
I think higher tax is required on polluting vehicles (particularly the old inefficient ones). I think that congestion/pollution charges will become necessary.
I am also aware that I am part of the problem. I often commute across the city centre and add to the traffic and pollution in my 15-year-old car. Why, because sometimes I’m not in the mood to cycle and the public transport is rubbish.
I also fly an aircraft with a 5.4 litre displacement that drinks 10 gallons of avgas per hour and pumps vast amounts of pollution straight into the atmosphere without so much as seeing a catalytic converter. I realise this isn’t great either.
That said I’d do anything to own a small electric car (as long as it’s big enough to fit a bike in the back). I’d also happily fly an electric plane.

I read your name, in awe of great coordination of communication loss; late professor Hawkins. I mean no disrespect yet yeah you’re all barking mad.
Toxic air could be used in a recyclable closed environment to study air displacement theory and use some advantage in aero bicycles. It is similar to hydrodynamics and water displacement used with semi planing kayak hulls. I took some photos of my old mates boat and believe it to be that of Olympic class 50+ years old. It’s pretty easy to use water to see how air can propel bicycles in a similar fashion.
With regards to black hole, the theory I recognized is failure, children should devert their eyes and go the opposite way of air-water by studying light displacement theory is in my best interest too because I live on this planet, the local star( our daily light) needs repair and knowing what a pistol is you wouldn’t leave a loaded pistol next to an unsupervised 2 year old neither!!!!!
Wondering.. Want a beer Concorde? Maybe we could drop some stout when the ‘ranga rings the pretty girl. Far, far away

Hi Boatsie, if you use a wet
Hi Boatsie, if you use a wet lube then WD40 would be quite effective at rinsing off old lube, dirt and grit. I suspect it would be a messy process though
.Boatsie
Thanks PeteD, what I meant
Thanks PeteD, what I meant was that the chain gets lubed and wiped off but feels gritty! Would wd40 clear the grit and then lube and go?
Toxic air, toxic water, is much the same. I’m cycling because it’s cheaper and with internal combustion engine vs chain clean and lube I know I’m polluting yet feel such with a better choice of mechanical advantage to cover the distances.
I ain’t special but I can write without decent explanation how ignorant us children on earth are! Pyramids can become serviceable useful tools!!
Imagine a poor family , child supporting a very sick father. Uncle there soon, father will recover. Anyway, understanding wealth is health, the child educates himself. Quite pleased that he made a light switch, planning to remote an electric machine. Yet to do so he cut up his fathers wiring loom. He shouldn’t be punished yet…….
Similar to the 40+ year old children and all that crap they stole from the ancients…
I love the British but English doesn’t translate well with eye.

I’ll second you Boastie, but don’t use wd40 on your chain it is not a lubricant, stick with oil.
I’d vote for Boatsie as king though I thought we were an autonomous collective.
I think he’s referring to using WD40 as a chain cleaner and it should work for that. I’d rather use a degreaser for chain cleaning, but then as I use wax/dry-lube, it’s better to not introduce any grease as it tends to prevent the wax staying put.
For long chain life, I recommend cleaning the chain before applying any lube to prevent road grit from being flushed further into the chain. That probably makes more difference than the choice of lube.

Respecting elders isn’t about half the crap I read about, try letting them exercise and understand that their coordination might have many more years of influence than ours.
Best I scored from an old indigenous man was throwing away a used can of baked beans, ‘ not rubbish mate, just minerals and good for earth. ‘ lol.
Yay, frequently walking with garbage bag is me trying to protect our waters and creatures, they choke on plastics!!! Others could grow up too and chore once a season! Whoop whoop, 30minute walk, half fill a garbage bag, yet animals other than humans might share with such kindFluffyKittenofTindalos

I just don’t see a role that government can realistically play to get people out of cars for regular journeys of less than five miles, which IIRC account for 66% of car usage. What additional (and, being realistic, politically palatable) incentives do people need?The government could do many things, here’s a few:
– Obligate companies over a certain size to provide cycle storage, showers and changing facilities.
– Lower NI contributions for those who cycle to work to reflect the health improvements cycling brings.
– Admonish head teachers who overstep their remit regarding pupils cycling to school.
I don’t think those measures would do anything to encourage new riders onto bikes. There is a huge bike storage area and awesome showers and lockers where I work. Cycle commuters number less than ten on a floor of hundreds. Cycling is already way cheaper than other forms of transport, so a financial incentive isn’t going to make any difference. 3% of kids cycle to school. You can’t tell me that the other 97% don’t because of their headteachers’ attitude.
People who aren’t already on bikes will probably never be.
More and better infrastructure is the only thing that’s been seen to work anywhere, so I’d go with that. Reallocate roadspace. Maybe it won’t work either, but there’s at least one example of it doing so, which is more than most other approaches can show.
Though more congestion charging might be worth trying as well. Probably public transport could do with some work also.
The problem only needs to be aaddressed in big cities, that’s where the pollution is and that’s where car travel is largely unnecessary. Unfortunately we’re stuck with Sadiq “no we Khan’t”, The Mayor Who Doesn’t Do Anything But Mood Music.

with what? The barking mad paranoid looney fascists, who are probably also swivvle-eyed, or the premise that something must be done about pollution?
Any of the above?
I think you’re a bit wide of the mark as Boatsie is a self-proclaimed king, so he can’t really be a fascist – more of a monarchist – and the rest of the commenters seem to be anti-government/anti-authoritarian.
I would hazard a guess that anyone posting on road.cc is going to be anti-pollution. Personally, I think that tax on diesel should be raised and possibly have some kind of incentive for businesses to switch to cleaner vehicles. Then after a year, start raising tax on petrol too.
However, politicians are scared/bought by the car industry and it would take a certain level of bravery and commitment to do this. That’s probably why the Maybot doesn’t want to do anything until 2040.
