    You know, it doesn't have to be this way. Jersey barriers and trees to shrink the size of Queens' gigantic underutilized streets would make it impossible to do dumb shit like this. #BanCars #BuildProtectedBikeLanes #BuildProtectedBusLanes #RoadDiets

    Et avec un peu du reste de ses millions, il est capable de recommencer...
    Si au moins cette amende servait à installer des limitateurs de vitesse sur tous les trucs-à-moteur 😟

  10. This #CalvinAndHobbes comic was published by Watterson in 1993. I've inflation-adjusted it for 2026.

  11. I’ve decided to go to the WWT London Wetland Centre on Monday, rather than drive out into the fens, thanks partly to the cost of fuel. I have also checked on the BoE inflation calculator and the diesel I would need is actually about 5% cheaper in real terms than when I passed my driving test - at which point, because that was its normal price, I wouldn’t have thought twice. It is the change in / (ab)normalisation of price that influences perception and decision about driving among those for whom it doesn’t constitute an affordability crisis.

    Given the number of people in forced car ownership with genuine affordability issues and simultaneously the proportion of comfortably off people who whinge about the expense of driving but reject easy savings (get a smaller, not-new car; don’t change it every couple of years; use it less) and inflate their own costs, I’m not sure what we do with this.

    (Though #BanCars has an elegant simplicity to it!)

    C’est quand même ahurissant que tous ces politiques prennent le problème à l’envers.
    Ce n’est pas parce que les gens-qui-ont-une-voiture ne peuvent pas se garer que les commerces des centres villes périclitent.
    C'est parce que les gens-qui-ont-une-voiture peuvent aller et/ou habiter ailleurs.
    La clientèle, c’est celle qui vient à pied ou à vélo.

  13. Cycling back from the far side of town just now, a driver courteously stayed back and was patient when I led through signalised junctions, edged out to stay clear of the illegally parked cars whose occupants were doubtless “just popping into this shop”, and stayed in non-crushed-into-the-kerb position past a pedestrian refuge. When they then passed wide and safe I waved thankyou and thought “that was great, I wish all drivers we so considerate”.

    Then I caught myself. It isn’t being super considerate, it is the absolute basic minimum level of competence and responsibility. I still really meant the thanks as so many drivers fall so far short, and it should be encouraged, and it helps humanise myself and other people on bikes so drivers are less likely to try to kill us/ more likely to try not to kill us in future, but still.
