  • One thing I’ve learnt from my 15 minute cycle commute is to assume everyone on the road is an idiot.

    Drivers: happy to kill you for a second off their journey time.

    Cyclists: same, as well as thinking red lights don’t apply to them. They’re happy to kill both themselves and their fellow cyclists and pedestrians.

    Pedestrians: have a death wish. You don’t need to look if you can’t hear an engine.

    I was on a bus once when they were still constructing the cycle superhighway in my area (a waste of time since it’s just full of pedestrians), and despite the warning signs saying narrow lane, don’t overtake cyclists, the driver couldn’t be bothered to wait and ploughed right into the guy, he went flying. And the driver didn’t even stop until a full bus stop later.









  • We got a similar flyer. My area is a Labour safe seat, 70%+ for Labour last time, Tories barely scraping double digits and Lib Dems at 7% , yet the flyer claims Labour support is going down, and only the Lib Dems can stop them. I think the Labour bar was actually in the negative? I’ll see if it’s still floating around.

    Found it:

    Edit again: even the independent got more votes than the tory. Lib Dem got even less. Green took a lot of Labour votes to come second, probably because of Gaza.
