Whose idea was it to allow motorised vehicles into a rain sodden park, then churn up the grass into quagmire and set up a fossil fueled generator pushing noise and unwanted and detectable combustion emissions next to a kids playground? #BeddingtonPark

Why does @SuttonCouncil install this? Try getting a #cargobike through here! #BikeWeek @BBCRadioLondon @London_Cycling @psimonk
Thanks to #Hackbridge Labour councillors for this little gem... Same as the #Tories and #LibDems. It's a #Barrier to voting! #BashTheBarriers

Is this the urban first aid needed to heal a bruised and declining #Sutton?
The new, people-friendly space on St. John Street, which was formerly an excessively wide road, looks great in the sunshine. Once you get rid of cars, everyone reaps the benefits, and no one wants the cars back @IslingtonBC @willnorman

BBC News - Misconduct inquiry over fatal schoolgirl crash bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1d9โ€ฆ
I have no interest in whether the Land Rover driver who killed a child in Wimbledon โ€œhad a seizureโ€ - though, letโ€™s wait for the inquest before taking โ€œsourcesโ€ as gospel - because the problem is not โ€˜bad driversโ€™. SUVs are too big and dangerous. Thatโ€™s the issue here.

Remember that time you attacked a disabled cyclist for not getting off their trike and walking? Are they not vulnerable too? Or are the rules different when you're sat on a bike?

Electric bikes are a fantastic help for those of us over 50 and a bit unfit, they are enabling and get us actually out on a bike enjoying some mild exercise where getting on a pushbike feels a bit too much like hard work.

Did you meet with disability advocates and the elderly that use segregated wheeling infrastructure to move around London? Like @Wheels4Well ?
