That article is far too kind
That article is far too kind to Moses. I highly recommend reading The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Despite the title, it applies to cities worldwide.
Dump your swasticarWhilst I agree with the sentiment, there’s a lot of people who bought swasticars before it become known that Musk is a Nazi. It seems unfair that they’re now being targetted and they can barely sell their car without making a big loss.
Maybe the appropriate sticker would help.
And it was the cyclist’s fault
The 25 mph cyclist made me do it.
Then once the driver matches the 25 MPH speed, the cyclist is holding him up!
Still no mention of a driver.

“This was after a car crashed into a brick wall while manoeuvring around the covered car park at The Maltings, near Sainsbury’s.”
Woman gets fine for illegally parking on Winnats Pass and will never return to park there after ordeal (umm, that’s how parking fines are supposed to work?!):It looks like it only adds two miles to walk from the Castleton car park.

Tri-Flow smells so much nicer, though.
I haven’t gone looking for the Facebook group in question, it’s all a bit too close to home for me – anyone else got the stomach for it, maybe could give us the gist?Bunch of carbrains, occasional voice of sanity, not as bad as Xitter.
These self-driving bollards
These self-driving bollards are among my favourites.

Okay, but one attacked a single cyclist, the other delayed multiple drivers!

Ok, just noticing this on my own bike. The rear wheel I bought from wheelbuilder.com. The front I rebuilt on my existing SON hub with a rim ordered by my LBS. Both are the same DT Swiss GR531 rim, except for the number of holes.
Why does the front rim have the valve hole aligned with a sticker, and the other has it between the two stickers?!
I know I’ll never get a “Super Nice” on the GCN show with it like this. Can I get one exchanged under warranty?
Edit: never mind, it’s on me! The stickers on the other side of each rim are shifted 90°. Did I build it wrong? No way am I going to re-lace the front to fix this.
I have a couple of lights
I have a couple of lights without well-shaped beams. I just use one hand to shade the top until I’m past the oncoming cyclist or pedestrian.
Unless they’re pointing a bright beam at my face.
This is the bike I used for
This is the bike I used for my LEJoG last year. After that, it deserved a treat: new powder coat and new wheels after the Hunt wheels cracked at the nipples. It’s a Black Mountain Road Plus, currently at over 16500 miles, 26500 km.
I also splurged on the ENVE bar tape. It seems very nice so far.
Acorn bag which I’ve owned since my previous touring bike.
René Herse 46/30 crankset and Switchback Hill Tires, 650b x 48 mm, tubeless. Mechanical 11 speed Ultegra. I have a 27 tooth for the crankset coming, as I didn’t like how much walking I had to do on my LEJoG.
The thread police are here!
The thread police are here! We’ll let you off with a warning, this time.
If you haven’t already,
If you haven’t already, consider searching for powder coaters, too. I just got mine done (in the USA, sorry) and am very happy. They can do gloss and candy in powder coat now, so it’s not just the nearly matte look of a Surly frame.
We have a day for this,
We have a day for this, anyway. The Ride of Silence.
