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.

It got delivered.If I am correct then,
bikes can be bought by members only for £250 or something.
Non-member can buy the "normal" 3 speeders £65 delivered.

I have paid and am meant to get delivery Wednesday, but won't believe it until I see it
Heavy but in decent nick, with 3 speed twist grip hub gears.
Not ridden yet, but looks in good shape. And with an Abus U lock (Guessing a silver level).
I lucked out, I feel
(Also delivery put Evri etc to shame - emails with a time slot, followed by a text of the name of the person delivering, and further text when he had a better ETA, and then a "I'll be 10 minutes" text)

Lime bikes have a lot of oomph at the start, and they're heavy unwieldy things. I found it difficult to control and I've been cycling for years.
If you come across one or an ebike it's much more likely that the person on it doesn't cycle normally.

It finally happened. I absentmindedly left my bike locked up overnight by a bus stop on a busy road. Only remembered this morning when it wasn't in the shed and went to find it, but it has been taken. They're welcome to it quite frankly. The front shifter is utterly fucked, the back shifter needs a special technique to get into higher gears, the headset bearings are shot, the rims are crooked, the saddle's wearing thin, the grip tape is barely holding on and it's covered in more scrapes than a schoolboy's knees. 2009 Specialized Tricross, you had a good 15 year innings and now you're somebody else's problem.

So I'm in the market for a new bike. Something a bit less sporty and a bit more practical, as befits my years. I'm not getting down in the hoods drafting buses any more, and my backpack seems to feel heavier these days....
I'm liking the look of this Trek FX2 with the accessories kit. Dynamo lights and a well integrated rack. No front shifter for simplicity. Nice colour.
The Cube Hyde Pro FE's belt drive and hub gear is very intriguing. I hate having to clean the chain, and derailleurs are finicky things. I'm willing to pay a bit more for a lifetime (!) no-hassle drivetrain. Doesn't seem to be available in large sizes anywhere though (I'm 183cm. 54-55cm frame size), and the tires are a bit fat.
Any pointers?

Hire bikes and delivery cyclists are very much not fun to be around. Just absolute disregard for safety and others
At least the Lycra lads are on the road rather than veering all over place

Sorry to lol about your stolen bike but it does sound like they've done you a favour.
Those are both decent bikes. If possible, have a test ride of a belt drive one in a shop and see what you think - they feel quite different to derailleur gear bikes to ride and some people don't like it (the uptake feels different). Obviously stays much cleaner and won't rust etc.

My wife and daughter both have FX2s, I have an FX3. They're great bikes but I think the FX2 weighs a ton compared to my FX3

Still riding! Doing 500km to fundraise for Movember with a couple of 120km solo gravel rides some shorter stuff taking me up to 450km so far (and £640 in the pot!)
I've just entered this next year, going for the Double Centurion. 217km with 2700m climbing. Previous longest ride has been 150km with 1800m climbing so I'll need to get some training in for this...

I went for the FX3 in the end, mostly for the weight savings, but the slightly nicer gears are a plus.
Managed to find what must be the last one in Large in the whole country judging by all the big websites, at a shop that happens to be just down the road
They didn't have it in red
