@malumbu And what part of my  message is "unsubstantiated"?

You quoted Tommies as objecting to a bike lane as they presumably considered it unsafe.  By quoting them you are effectively agreeing with their position at the time.

Having cycled past Tommies scores of times I was neither aware that it was considered unsafe, nor did I see any reason for this.

If you are going to quote other people and organisations you need to tell us why they are correct.

I clearly am not calling you juvenille as I am sure you are aware.

Which is awful. But London has become a lawless Gotham city on Labour watch.  

And if you are an American millioner you can do no wrong - re: Lime & Co

Rather a sweeping statement about London being lawless.  Sort of thing that Trump and Musk would say about Khan

No idea who "Must" is.

And it was fun -  and very important to me -  to be part of  the anti Trump demo.

Looking forward to next one 🙂

Not looking at any Twittter or X threads, unless I really have to.  So not looking at the one above.  I've said in the past that it is lazy just to post links without any comment.  Musk as I am sure you may have guessed.

Well start a thread on floating bus stops.  It feels me with no joy that some road users are dangerous.  But this continued barrage against cyclists gets on my wick (to use polite language).

I don't endanger pedestrians and nor do any of the numerous cyclists that I know.  I similarly would not drive in a way that endangers pedestrians,

Here's a bit of reading.

That is so true, totally lawless.

Worth reporting to Lime, they’re very quick to respond.

Done a lot. It get worst and worst am afraid. Lime and other ebike companies dump their bikes anywhere they want

It looks like as the supply overtake the demand 🤔

"they're very quick to respond" - meaning what exactly?

Moving ebike from location  A to location B?

Focus your phone’s camera on the QR code on the mudguard and you’ll be able to report any badly parked or damaged Lime bike.

Good point.  It may be a better use of your collective time to complain to Lime about badly parked bikes.
