Another call cyclist here (I use Rye Lane 2x a day) Agree I?ve felt safer when it was buses rather people. I?ve had so many near misses with pedestrians. I love the diversity of Rye Lane, but it really is filthy & the rubbish strewn everywhere is grim. Really needs sorting. I don?t know why, but in my head the pedestrianisation made it worse. Don?t even get me started on the glass.

Had the Moderna about 10 days ago. Sore arm but otherwise all good.

I?ve used this app the whole way through and have been asked to go for tests. I actually caught Covid a few weeks ago. Have made a point of thoroughly reporting my symptoms.

I used to live right on LL by the deli. The buses were super noisy and of course emergency service vehicles. You soon got used to it though. The worst part was all the soot/dust from the pollution. I loved living there but don?t think I?d buy right on the lane.

Check if your work offer a cycle to work scheme

I?d contribute if you need to purchase one. I can see there are some secondhand ones on Facebook marketplace. It?s incredible what you are doing.

Might do that route tomorrow. I worry about being too far from home in case of being in breach of the rules though?

Did they contact you via here? :)

Hope you find it. I sometimes see discarded bags when I?m on my bike so will keep my eyes open for you.

Does any one know of any local charities that help families or people in re-homing type situations. I?ve tried Google but can?t see anything. I?ve some items to donate and would rather pass them on directly than via a Charity shop. Thanks

I bought our tree from the Florist opposite the library on Lordship Lane. It?s a lovely tree and was only ?30 Will be heading back there next year.

I thought about this too. Wondered if when I collected my meal I could take my own tubs. Hate all the waste we create.

Rye Lane is getting worse. Not helped by the signage being covered in stickers.
