I guess it would be annoying on the bike but I reckon I could cope.London has some crossings like that – New TfL data shows success of innovative ‘pedestrian priority’ traffic signals
There’s a YouTube video showing one in action.

Guardian Politics Sketch – A
Guardian Politics Sketch – A big thank you to Reform for the comic relief in dark times
So a big thank you to Reform for providing so much comic relief. Never has the UK needed a good laugh more than now. Which isn’t to say that the very public squabble between Nigel Farage and Rupert Lowe was in any way unexpected. Given enough time away from dissecting the niceties of the Nazi salute – these things matter to supporters of Reform. Strictly arm out to the front, not the side – Nige can usually manage to fall out with anyone.

I sure as hell wouldn’t buy an eBike conversion kit on Ali Express.
It might be fine (how can you tell?), but if it’s not it could burn your house down. Doesn’t seem worth the risk.

Simon Jenkins in The Guardian
Simon Jenkins in The Guardian is moaning about his 6 month speeding ban. The BTL comments are refreshingly unsympathetic.
As far as I can figure, he’d have had to be caught speeding at least 4 separate times in a year to have his license suspended; given the small likelihood of every offense being detected, I have to conclude Mr Jenkins is (a) speeding as a regular habit, and (b) whining about the consequences.

Was looking for things to do
Was looking for things to do in Winchester and came across this – Adrenaline Comedy Bike Tour Experience at B3335
This is a comedic romp through the cycling mayhem of the winchester active travel strategy.I’ve cycled the B3335 a few times, it’s truely dreadful. The alternative (much longer) route through Otterbourne is also pretty bad, despite most of it being an NCN Route.
