I love this insight from @icooper.bsky.social - that AI tools can do coding but not programming. ian-cooper.writeas.com/coding-is-de...
This saved me an expletive laden post about knowing people who complain about cyclists and would probably kill them if they could, who go on holidays to Amsterdam and Copenhagen picturing and videoing themselves cycling there
Reporter: A new report says the military investigation has found it was the United States that struck the school in Iran. Do you take responsibility?
Trump: I don’t know about it.
Oxfordshire has now launched 275 20mph schemes! All locally requested and approved by Cllrs of all political parties. Because people like 20mph where they live.
Also @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social is giving away FREE 20mph stickers. @20splenty.bsky.social

What about..
The "Cycling Through Water" trail in Belgium, 🇧🇪 designated by Time magazine as one of the world's most astonishing places, is a 212-meter trail that crosses a lake at water level…
The problem with disastrously stupid people becoming politicians is that when they get to power you get to feel their idiocy in your bank account every day.
British voters keep voting for idiot after idiot. Decade after decade.
Will the next election finally bring some sense with a Green Party PM?
.. and the footpath
Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:
"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."
You missed flights in the area stuffed up
Portrait of Miguel Anxo, former mayor of Pontevedra, standing outdoors in front of blurred greenery. A large white serif quote appears on the left side of the image reading: “It’s not my duty as mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me, it’s the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you’re going to put them.” His name and title appear below the quote.
It is not the government’s job to provide storage space for your private property. Cars are no different.
Roads exist to move people and goods, not to store private vehicles. Governments at all levels need to start calling out and enforcing that reality.
Israel taking full advantage of Trump's presidency to go full genocide. For Israel, they might not get this chance again
"Of those who voted Labour [in 2024], just 37% would vote Labour again".
Read that again to absorb the full, astonishing weight of what it means.
Starmer, Reeves and co have burnt their house down.

Extraordinary good news given what cycling is up against in Ireland in the media and government. Perhaps ppl just don't want to spend €700 per month to sit in traffic after all.
People order more at the touch screen than they would from a human being, so they're staying unfortunately. McDs doubling down on the enshitification with the zillion delivery guys hanging round -ir was never great, but horrible place now

Where I live, a small Irish city with excellent bus service, it's extremely common to have 3 cars at any home. Three. 2 is the norm. The buses are brand new, fully electric and mostly empty. Cars are deeply routed here. Kids live at home so they can get on a merc at 17
Asked about cycleways supposedly slowing buses. Bus speed data fished out by @maxsullivan.bsky.social (my graph) shows the biggest change to bus speeds was during the pandemic, when people drove their cars less. NB Camden's bike lanes didn't go away too... movepeople.substack.com/p/do-cycle-l...
Christopher who? In May, a party founded eight years ago, with no record in national government and only eight MPs, will fight elections in Wales and Scotland, and for control of councils across England, with every chance of winning many of them. British politics is being reshaped by Reform UK. This is a result of Nigel Farage's personality and of Christopher Harborne's money - £9m, from a fortune amassed largely through cryptocurrency investments. The party would not be able to field candidates, run social media operations or door-to-door campaigns if it weren't for the Harborne war chest. There is a template for crypto-funded campaigning - in the US, where it is viewed as having led to securing crypto-friendly legislation and sweetheart deals to enrich crypto charlatans and undermine transparency and accountability in politics. Reform threatens to destroy the Conservatives as a party of government and divide communities, increasingly along ethnic lines and with overtly racist arguments. It also poses the most serious threat to Keir Starmer's government, Harborne lives in Thailand and owns a 12% stake in the Tether stablecoin. Little else is known about this intensely private man. Yet he can influence the course of politics, seemingly without either much of a business or life in the UK. It's a lot like overseas interference in British democracy. Didn't someone once say: "Take back control"?
From yesterday's Observer.
In 2025, there were 1.5m daily cycle journeys in London, equivalent to nearly half of daily Tube journeys.
Evidence shows that London-wide, cycling infrastructure is effective in reducing risk exposure: Protected cycling infrastructure reduces injury risk to people cycling by 40-65%. Around 33% of all cycling in London occurs on Cycleways, but only 15% of cycle casualties. 76% of people cycling feel safe on Cycleways compared to 40% feeling safe on other roads. 70% of Cycleway users felt safer after the introduction of the Cycleway.
Road safety factors are more likely to be attributed to the driver of (recorded in 2024) the other vehicle than people cycling, with three of top five factors relating to behaviour of other drivers. • People cycling undertaking an illegal turn and/or not complying with traffic lights is a factor in only 3.7% of all collisions resulting in a cycling fatal or serious injury (same prevalence as drivers undertaking illegal turns and/or not complying with traffic lights).
A 2023 analysis showed that in the 2016-22 period, we saw a greater reduction in risk in boroughs where the Cycleway network expanded the most. Conversely, risk increased most in boroughs with no or limited investment in Cycleways.

Says everything about mainstream media in the West.
Nothing from #FIFA either? Someone should check on them
People of all ages and abilities walk, cycle, drive, and ride public transportation along the low-traffic streets of Bilbao, which are lined with buildings, trees, bike infrastructure, and prominent 30 km/h speed limit signage and road markings.

Introduced in 2018 and expanded to all roads by 2020, Bilbao was the first European city of more than 300,000 inhabitants to adopt a universal 30 km/h speed limit. Several years on, the results suggest it has delivered broad benefits on safety, public health, travel efficiency, and quality of life.🧵
He had to button down that #FIFA peace prize 🏆.. priorities n all dat

I didn't upgrade my last car because the newer model's volume control was thru a touch screen. Just no. Saved a fortune too
