Ah, “the greater good”, “more sensible laws” – expect to hear more heavy lifting from phrases like this if Reform make political progress. And of course 120 years of car domination has just magically happened, no politics at all.

If you don’t want 1,600
If you don’t want 1,600 people a year to die from road violence, that’s an anti-car crusade.
Did anyone pop on and say “probably avoiding a cyclist”, or “you don’t know that it wasn’t a medical episode”?
looks like there is some police action here.
Driver’s mum reported to be “annoyed” as she needed it for work this morning.

Council’s £195k spend on 20mph signs slammed as ‘a total waste of time and money’
The 20mph signage was introduced after speed limits were approved last year in a Cambridgeshire town

Reform UK councillor demands removal of town hall Pride flag
He’s not happy!
…I did ask the town hall to take it down as it is causing some upset amongst residents and if it were not flown it would cause upset to no one.”

Not sure if his blaming the product for the fact that he chose the wrong valve length is all that worthwhile. I didn’t like the sound of a glued-on valve stem. Interesting that they’re prized for being compact to take out as a spare.
The advice about putting a bit of air in before closing-up the tyre (tire) seemed like pretty standard stuff.
