  1. Is this the one recently sold on the ESF (clone) Facebook page?
  2. Hello, how much is the Fela album? I can't see the sticker price? Thanks!
  3. Is it that time of year again when you fall for a TomTom press release? As you were told last year, London isnt the slowest city in the world. TomTom exclude entire continents from their survey which excludes some of the largest and most traffic congested cities in the world. The average speed in inner London has been approximately 10mph for years. It's nothing to do with 20mph limits or 24/7 bus lanes. That evidence is included in the TomTom report data. Starting to think you would believe that the word gullible is being removed from the dictionary if you were told by a private company with a vested interest in selling a product that aims to avoid traffic.
  4. So you would choose a more expensive and - you claim - a less healthy choice every day? you carry on being you, but I suspect that other people might make different choices.
  5. Not at all. I'm a regular user. See a broad range of lime/boris/forest bike users. My general apathy is towards the anti active travel narrative. Why bother answering when something is convenient- a response will only get disbelief on here.
  6. Because having a Blue Badge doesn't mean you can park wherever you like whenever you like. There are still timing & location restrictions etc.
  7. Or more likely for this forum a Bladerunners t-shirt, catapults and a subscription to Together.
  8. I found the story of Joseph and Mary getting a ticket for parking their donkey on the double yellows of the dusty road truly a parable for our times. Christmas victims of socialism apparently.
  9. The classic combo of Ediz (the unnamed bus driver) and his pal Andrew Ellison
  10. Islabikes hasn't gone under. They've decided to not sell to a new buyer and to retire having revolutionised bikes for kids. They cite the bad financial management of the economy by the tory government as a factor but were a highly successful company operating in profit. i mean that's in their press release on their decision but rockets clearly knows better. The Cartlon Reid article linked to ends: "Industry analysts believe 2023 will be a trough year, with sales recovering through 2024 and beyond and at a more sustainable level than the heights of the Covid bike boom." Van Moof was taken over by tech bros who didn't understand bikes and overinflated its market value. Its just been bought from liquidators and will be relaunched. halfords is now Mike Ashley who is asset stripping physical sites and moving to predominantly online only sales
  11. Or D R Osbourne is good and in Hither Green
  12. Vincent Stops is really a poor statistician isnt he. For those that don't know him - he was removed from his transport role at a council and fundamentally doesn't believe in the safety of any segregated cycling routes. All his analysis is based on that premise. Luckily the dft National Travel Attitudes study shows that the public don't agree with him. 64% sampled saying that they support the creation of dedicated cycle lanes in their local area even if this means less road space for cars. Rockets - you have google. Do you want to tell is what proportion of the roads budget goes towards cycling infrastructure?
  13. Your trips are not limited. You have 100 free passes and then pay for others (much like the congestion charge) you can use alternative including the ring road for free its only in Cowley & east oxford
  14. Penguin's interpretation of the Oxford rules is wrong. They've made this misinterpretation several times. An Exeter MP is now getting death threats over the small number of LTNs being piloted there, even with better communication about how they work. The police arrested someone for the threats.
  15. Yougov polling from yesterday Con: 24% (-3% following the roll back on environmental pledges) Lab: 45% LD: 11% reform: 8% green: 7% SNP: 3% it's going to have to be a big dead cat. Cones Hotline 2.0
  16. Except that they massively lost the Senedd no confidence vote against the changes last night.
  17. Man who benefits from market forces doesn't like it when market forces affect him. He's a landlord, he doesnt make, or produce anything. He buys things using credit (unavailable to others) and then restricts supply to increase profit. Am i right to assume that your post was a polemic, otherwise you're almost both siding an argument for feudalism.
