I have a distinct memory of driving on the dual carriageway through there (must have been shortly before it was removed) but when I tell people they don't believe me.

A map of the UK and Ireland, showing rain radar data.
Cyclists, BEFORE your bike ride, check this rain radar map, and also check the wind speed and direction, as that could help you avoid getting wet.
Tell your friends, too, and bookmark it!

On March 10, 1913, abolitionist Harriet Tubman died at approximately 91 years old. Her birth year is believed to be around 1822, though the exact year is uncertain due to the lack of official records for enslaved people at the time.
Seriously, you have to watch this.
It’s magnificent.
Come for the stunning sights of many of the best spots and views in Paris (and the brilliant camera work and music). Stay for the truly remarkable skateboard artistry.

Safe cycling for everyone, through motorway intersections, is perfectly possible.

Compare this thread to the Chilcot Checklist, produced after the invasion of Iraq to avoid another stupid war.
President Zelenskyy: One year ago, I also had good cards, but we didn’t show them.
"It’s thanks to our Defenders, great people, and to a lot of different production that we increased from the very beginning of the war. Now we have a high level.
Fascinating thread from a US senator.
Interesting that as he cannot say anything which was briefed and classified, he lists what was not briefed.
Clever.
I don't care what you call it, but the UK really needs to embrace the safe systems approach to road design and street management if we are to stop death and injury on our streets, tackle health issues from inactivity and indeed, productiveuty,
We could have nice places too.
New MP Hannah Spencer was given a police escort after an anti-hate demonstration turned violent. The Green Party MP had made a speech at the Greater Together Manchester event on Sunday afternoon in Piccadilly Gardens.
I try very hard not to use the word Orwellian too much but it’s the best adjective for the mauling of language at the start of this BBC News report. “… an anti-hate demonstration that turned violent”. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
The finest take down of the institution of monarchy and "class" and the grasping, greedy, venal, entitled, and very stupid people it enables that you will read today or any day.

You’d think in this era of “MPs face increasing danger” there would be more outrage at newly elected Green MP Hannah Spencer being assaulted by transphobes but it’s nowhere to be seen on BBC News app even if you search her name
The Vegas Loop carried 16,400 passengers per day during the expo.
For context, London’s Elizabeth Line carries ~800,000 per day.
Even Victorian steam trains in 1860s London moved 3–4× more people per hour than Elon.
In case you didn’t already know: cars in tunnels aren’t the future of transit…
Just killed a man's whole family and accidentally installed him as leader of Iran. We created Super Vengeance Boy and are just assuming he'll leave us alone.
oh i'm the most excited for laamar here. his song "home to my baby" is such a beautiful & heartbreaking song on his fears of being stopped by police
"isn't it strange how a minute might change your whole life / one wrong move and a man might turn out your lights"

Why can't *we* have nice things?
Forgotten that. The London Cycling Campaign's Women's Freedom after Dark project referenced in their report states that women includes non-binary and gender non confirming people.
Similarly, Norwich's own Women's Cycling Safety Audit makes the same point.

Why would you add voice activation to computers in a library?
Great new document from @cyclinguk.bsky.social which gives simple measures local authorities can take to improve cycling for women.

Cartoon drawing featuring a woman in bright red bloomers and a men's-style blazer and bow tie riding a bicycle in the foreground, and an old man with a pitchfork losing hat and pitchfork in surprise. Over his head are the words, "What it will come to". At the bottom it says, "Then they WILL be satisfied".

The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That's OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don't need them any longer -- But we will remember. We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won! President DONALD J. TRUMP
History lesson.
Our once great ally didn't come to our aid until 1917.
Our once great ally didn't come to our aid again until 1941.
We treat car dependency as freedom, yet keep kids strapped into backseats for years. The real freedom is what you see here, safe infrastructure that lets children safely ride and explore their city on their own terms with fewer threats from motorists that hold them back.

'The Morning Ride, Copenhagen.'
Bicycles were the perfect vehicle for a new generation of painters looking for subjects that would express their experience of the modern age. This work (1907) by Erik Ludvig Hennimoder depicts the new leisured classes.
Boris Johnson says Keir Starmer has made us an irrelevance on the world stage...
