We dedicate so much space to move and store cars... ( Northenden, Manchester ). Think how nice it could be here with a bit of space reallocation!

Bristol city centre. Tiny scraps given to pedestrians and cyclists whilst cars as usual get all the space.

I was hit by a Red Light Jumping car.. Now I'm bashed up, trashed bike and sat waiting in A&E. After a month away cycling, then basically 2 days back in the country this happens 😭

Kyoto, Japan where pavements are so busy and tiny you can barely walk. But cars have so many lanes...

In rural Japan they have tiny little trains going up a mountain in the middle of no where. Service is electrified, trains every 15 minutes until 10:30pm all this on a single gauge rail. In the UK we can't even electrify all our rail connecting major cities!

MGIF (Must get in front) disease exists particularly bad in Tokyo. The drivers here are complete turds when it comes to sharing their many lanes with cyclists... this guy literally comes to a stop 5m later.

Fill in the below, poor scheme using funds meant for sustainable travel. Mostly for car capacity and convenience. It's going to increase car traffic, do nothing for buses and pedestrians and actually reduce usable footpath width. Strongly disagree to all consultation.stockport.gov.u…

Stockport Council is currently running a consultation on changes to Dialstone Lane, near Stepping Hill Hospital. We oppose this scheme, and this thread explains why.

Why would anyone choose to sit in a car driving in traffic when instead you could be on a bike!

There are many things I will miss about working every day on the Tour, the daily commute isn’t one of them. Bike life, people. It is the only future πŸ™πŸ’› @TenwaysEBike bit.ly/3D2zyjfsep

Many areas are simply cut off by car first designs, with the alternatives being basically double the distance. One such example in Manchester. Would you cycle down here?

Here is a few videos I have reported to GMP over the past few months. Sadly Greater Manchester Police felt none of these deserved more than a warning letter, I guess when you drive things like red lights and close passing is optional? @DameSarahStorey @gmpolice
