I have occasionally seen people express the view that a bicycle is essentially a child’s toy (much like a space hopper or pogo stick) and that no adult should use one. I don’t think this view is particularly widespread though. There’s no shortage of anger towards Deliveroo cyclists who are clearly cycling for work.
There was an article a while back on the BBC suggesting that cyclists are perceived as free-loading – not paying road tax, jumping queues, etc.

So that’s one way to record the time of incidents.

You can get rubber feet and mats for washing machines, that should work.

Got this Decathlon folding bike cheap on eBay. This is now my 5th bike, and probably my last one for a while.
Planning to use it for situations where I want to drive somewhere then cycle the last few miles – going to a music festival later this year and the park and ride bus is about £30 per day, but there’s free parking 3 miles away from the venue.
Why four counts, when he only killed one with his car, afaics?I think it’s four counts because he was found to be over the limit for four different substances – alcohol, cannabinoids, MDMA, and cocaine.

In the US imported trucks are subject to a 25% tax (chicken tax). With less competition, US manufacturers can make more profit on trucks and have heavily marketed them. MPG rules for trucks are also less strict than for cars which is another incentive.
