Just had a look trialling with a leki pole and that looks a good shout. Although I can go one better. Simply strap the pole on so it sticks out 1.5m sideways so drivers give you space !The majority of his cycling is done on this path, so perhaps that wouldn’t be such a good idea.

A friend of mine is currently (temporarily) using a stick as he recovers from a bad foot fracture and surgery to repair it. He’s back riding his bike again, and he had a stick attached to the side of the fork, and the front of the handlebar, via a couple of Voile or similar straps.
Factual headline and no mention of lights, hi-viz or helmets. Give that journalist a promotion.No! Please keep him/her doing the same job, just with more pay.
Cornwall ‘cash cow’ car park charge increases spark rebellion in Penzance“Penzance has got high deprivation – the people from estates like Treneer should be able to drive to the beach and they can’t.”
“You can’t get a bus if you’ve got three children and surfboards.”

Unless I messed up (Google Maps has no specific entry for Treneer(e) housing estate), it is just over a mile walk on minor roads with pavements to the beach from there.
Just give free parking to the actually disabled.

Wow, he must have really annoyed someone to get a four year ban.

He’d have got a shorter ban for killing a cyclist!
Personally, I think the allowed amount of pollution is way too high. I propose an alternative measurement scheme – leave your car running in a normal sized garage for 30 minutes with the driver sat there and see if they can survive the fumes.A bit strict. After three pints and a curry, I may fail this test sitting on my bicycle!

Hopefully she makes a full recovery and puts her phone away from now on when driving.
It’s all the speed limit’s fault! Hey – how about just having a universal speed limit of 200 m.p.h., and then there would be no speeding offences? It’s not as though drivers have any control over their speed, after all.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/05/30/20mph-speed-limit-speeding-offences-record-number/
Nick Freeman:
“I hit the Edgware Road and my car would not go 20mph. I am being serious. I am driving with no foot on the accelerator. When the speed limit is artificially, ridiculously low, it is literally impossible to comply with,” he said.
As it’s often absolutely necessary to go much less than 20 MPH, such as when pulling out of a parking space, I’d suggest that all cars be pulled from the road immediately until each model can be tested and shown to be capable of being driven at 5 MPH. It seems the regulators must have been missing this big issue for decades!

Quite a long ban, so doubtful if she will legally drive again.Hopefully she has to sell her car to pay the fine.

Amen, brother. My Compass knickers wore out in the seat (destroyed by a Brooks Cambium, which Compass/RH later warned about) so I would love to find another pair.
Sorry, last one, I promise. Back on the topic of cargo bikes, from Rad Wagon vs Tern GSD, 7 key differences:- Tern GSD is a folding bike (ok, I’ll let them have that on a technicality) that’s perfect for carrying around on public transport
- Radwagon is a recumbent
- Tern GSD does not have a rack or fenders. But also, it has a strong rack and fenders.
- Tern GSD does not have a throttle. It is designed to be used in conjunction with a gas pedal on your vehicle.
