A 24-year-old resident, who had been enjoying some drinks with her flatmate, was getting into bed when the crash happened.
She said: “There was just this huge impact. The whole building shook and there was a bang.
“My flatmate thought I had fallen out of bed. She came upstairs and I told her someone had driven into the building. She said, ‘Don’t be silly.’”
The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, lives on the second floor of the block.

I’ve already made some snarky comments about this survey on the Live Blog, so here, I’ll just point out that the very name “Fair Fuel UK” is implying that fuel tax is unfair.
Fuel tax is indeed unfair as it has been kept frozen for a significant period of time (too busy ranting – no time to check the facts) and it doesn’t take into account the external costs of just dumping the burnt products into the air for everyone to breathe in.

I don’t know about harder wearing, but Wiggle do their own (Prime brand) sets of pad:

I’ve been running a pair of the carbon pads on the front since earlier this year (the Shimano’s were out of stock) and they seem to work okay although they don’t have the cooling fins (which looks a bit off) and they’re a little bit juddery at low speed (i.e. coming to a stop).

It’s amazing how much of the
It’s amazing how much of the public roads are given over to free parking, even in this country. The problem is that we’ve all grown up with the expectation that we are entitled to park a vehicle for free.
I’d like to see more of the free parking moved over to paid-for parking. It’s cheap and easy enough to set up APNR cameras to function in the place of parking meters – they’d be cheaper to install and it’d be trivial to set up automatic billing of the car owners (no more running out every couple of hours to stuff coins in a meter). I’d imagine that on-street parking should be the most expensive as it’s most convenient for the driver, so there’d also be a need for cheaper multi-story car parks (e.g. NCP style).
As an aside, I wonder if there’d be much of a market for upmarket, paid-for cycle parking – covered, locked and manned – maybe even chuck in a shower cubicle too.

Dagnammit – I hit return before I’d finished making the post. (I can’t edit or delete it as I get an error ‘Revision publish date can’t be smaller than now’).
Anyhow, I was going to contrast the difference between our lacklustre attempts at making cities more livable with the excellent progress made by Paris and Anne Hidalgo. (Just spotted that the article is from October btw)
And add a picture:
If you’re always comparing
If you’re always comparing efforts on Strava – try to remember to just go for a gentle pootle once in a while and enjoy the scenery.
Also – don’t second guess yourself about going for a ride. If you’re not sure about the weather etc. just get dressed for it, start cycling and see how you go – you can always decide to stop and go back home.
That’ll be because the horse
That’ll be because the horse people aren’t perceived as yobs, whereas the MSM consistently paints cyclists as such.
