If it’s not been off, and has been fine up ’til now, then a loose locknut would be the first thing to check. Alternatively, it hasn’t been put back together properly and one or more spacers is missing.

“A VAN driver has ‘wiped out’ a serving hatch at a Hampshire fast food restaurant as he drove the ‘wrong way’ down the drive-thru.
A witness has described the moment he saw a van drive the wrong way through the drive-thru at Burger King in Hedge End, ‘wiping out’ one of the serving hatches and damaging his own van.”
Imagine the dire consequences of allowing bikes in!!

Wow! “According to Thames Valley Police, the driver of the Audi – who ran away after crashing the car into the pub, leaving a man in his thirties seriously injured in the passenger seat – has not yet been found.”
Hitch-hiker, was he?
Audis in public houses.

It’s the same with the Salisbury City Centre Pedestrianisation proposals – “we need people in cars rat-running through to support us”, say retailers.
Back to the seaside, how about:
“Tony & Sheila welcome you to Rosedale, a sustainable guest house, with a car-free space right outside, enjoy peace and uninterrupted sea views and beach access via cliff path…”

Does the BBC employ any cycling journalists? They did according to W1A.
Not sure if cycling could ever make good radio. Maybe for balance one of The Archers could close pass a Cyclist pulling a sheep trailer and they could have an altercation about it; I always think it’s the fissure that might unravel a marriage, e.g. when you suddenly see a really ugly side in your partner.
Road Transport is essentially boring – Top Gear was humdrum in its early guise – you have to make it sound interesting, usually by making it confrontational, or in the case of wretched Top Gear, not really about domestic cars at all. “Now over to Steve, who’s got a run-down of the new Orion’s safety features…” yawn.

Roads like that are for cars – you should avoid them like the plague.

I’ve seen a story in the Dorset Echo that an existing cycle lane on Weymouth’s Dorchester Road has been widened by a whopping 30cm – I almost want there to be a derisory comment from A Gammon.

I see the error of my ways – cyclists and probably pedestrians too are clearly the complicating factor – it’s hard enough to do all you describe and avoid a static target, but one that keeps moving, and wasn’t even there this morning…

“In just two months, 13 drivers have been spotted running red lights and darting through closing barriers at a level crossing in Kent.”
There’s an FOI request to Network Rail or the Transport Police to get the bigger picture on this in here somewhere…
