That’ll teach ’em not to deliver those Christmas cards on time.
Sorry, I couldn;t resist writing that when I saw the contact the tavel partner form.There’s no need to wine about it.
I’ve no idea where you might look for the answer especially on a cycling forum.https://www.electricpedals.com/hire-us-cinema

I read that as meaning that
I read that as meaning that they shouldn’t bend to media demands to ‘make an example’ out of someone just because they happen to be a celebrity – that if we deny someone access to a rehabilitative route because they’re in the public eye, then we undermine our use of it for the ordinary Joe.
Not much, no – particularly
Not much, no – particularly with addiction-related offences. By the time someone’s in the situation where they’re about to commit the offence, ‘what will happen if I’m caught?’ isn’t generally top of their mind.
A design that protects from
A design that protects from muck and water spray, and an ability to quickly shed any that does hit it would be high on my list.
Maybe it says something about
Maybe it says something about our car-centric / self-centred society that we’ve all shifted our thinking from an observer’s perspective to a driver’s perspective.

Fair enough – it does look
Fair enough – it does look like the story’s been mangled. The restriction is and always has been 7′, but the bollards were moved from 7’6″ to 7′ in 2011.

Most bollards are now
Most bollards are now dressing in hoodies to avoid the danger of being caught on camera.

The latest Streetview imagery is from March. The BBC report says it was reduced ‘in recent months’, which suggests after that point. And by only 6 inches, so it wouldn’t necessarily be very evident comparing the side camera footage with Streetview.
