In mixed news
a) Buzz bike is closing down on Friday 15th|
b) they are flogging off their (non-electric) stock to anyone for £65 delivered including a lock.

Have ordered one on the off-chance it will arrive and be of passable "pub-bike" quality.

Have not yet plucked up the courage to mentioned the onward march of N+1 to Mrs Nick

How does one partake of this deal?

Won’t give me a delivery date and the deal stalls.

I don’t mind stopping on a towpath. It’s a gentle ride, or should be anyway. Cyclists should not be using towpaths for fitness or a fast commute.

Totally agree, some more signs as above about "considerate" use is a good idea. At entrances to parks for example where I've seen them. It nudges people to good behaviour.

I've seen so much bad cycling in London recently. Lime bikes & e-cycles the worst offenders.

It's become indescribably awful, and neither the mayor's office not the police give the first fuck about it. They might not lead to many deaths, but over time it will lead to some as it already has, and probably a much higher number of serious injuries- the kind that don't make the press unless 'life changing', but are extremely upsetting and disrupting for the likes of older people being knocked to the ground and breaking bones.

I am now regularly witnessing not just >80% incidence of red light jumping among London cyclists on my daily commute, but an alarming amount of instances of red light jumping when it is blatanly unsafe to do so, such as at any and all busy junctions. Which often also involves jumping on pavements if the cross traffic is too heavy for even the daredevil twats to swerve straight on, so they continue rolling along the pavement waiting for an opening, and fuck any and all pedestrians in the vicinity. It's almost as if the fucking cunts have made a pledge to not to come to even a single full stop during their journey, come what may.
