Yep, Cardiff. I hired a GSD from Pedal Power and may return for a longer hire to see how it fits into life. They’re certainly very well thought out.So, to kick off – I’m cargo
So, to kick off – I’m cargo curious. We are a one-child, one-car family living close to a city centre, so can already do a lot on foot / bike and aren’t reliant on the car. But the little one is getting bigger and is about to outgrow the bike seat, so I’m interested in something with a bit more capacity that might also replace some car trips. My heart likes front loaders where the little one would be in sight and there’s a massive cargo area (Bullitt, Urban Arrow). Haven’t ridden either of those, but have tested a Riese & Muller Packster to get a feel for the box-bike style. That felt a bit of a barge and the steering was a bit of a learning curve. Have also ridden a Tern GSD and it was a doddle by comparison, and more adjustable so that my wife could ride it too.
I suspect most regular cyclists do a shoulder check before they move over even when they’re walking.Guilty

That bit is saying cyclists: leave main carriageway, divert down sliproad. Then when you get to the dismount sign, you get off and cross the sliproad, remount and rejoin the main carriageway.

Yes. If you have somehow designated this as a cycle route, then that treatment of the sliproad does make sense!

Yes, if you backtrack up the carriageway, it looks like what’s actually happening is they divert cyclists off the main road, onto the sliproad, in order then to cross the sliproad at right angles and rejoin the main carriageway.

The Sun is right(!) Reg 110(5A) re: handheld device parking was inserted by the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) (Amendment) Regulations 2018/592. The 2003 amendments were when Reg 110 (re: mobile phone use generally) was first inserted.

In a similar vein, this is genuinely part of the HWC (albeit there are no cars currently meeting the definition):
While a self-driving vehicle is driving itself in a valid situation, you are not responsible for how it drives. You may turn your attention away from the road and you may also view content through the vehicle’s built-in infotainment apparatus, if available.

I used to regularly encounter a guy who parked (or more usually double parked) and left the engine running while he got out and queued for a coffee. Said it wasn’t good for his car to start and stop it, and that it would pollute more if he did. I pointed out that the manufacturer had designed it to work that way and had fitted it with stop/start, which he had seen fit to disable.
Rule 123. The driver and the environment. You MUST NOT leave a parked vehicle unattended with the engine running or leave a vehicle engine running unnecessarily while that vehicle is stationary on a public road. UNLESS:A) It’s too cold and you want to keep the heater running;
B) It’s too hot and you want to keep the aircon running;
C) You simply can’t be arsed to turn the key.
D) You need to charge your battery powered tools
