@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.

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.

Lime bikes dumped in rivers 'posing pollution risk

I take it you are not a fan of Lime bikes.

This is as much about crime and anti social behaviour.  The concept of hire bikes is great.  Many love them.  There needs to be improvements to address some of the issues

Saw one the other day, left smack bang in the middle of a pavement.

How is that even allowed to happen when a photo is needed to be submitted when it's left.  They are a damn nuisance.

So did I. It was impossible to pass it without walking into the road.

The newly paved, 'landscaped' and pedestrianised end of Melbourne Grove North, looks set to be a Lime Bike and Scooter pick up point. I wonder how much of the 'vital for safety' expanded pedestrian movement area will actually be given over to or even blocked by electric vehicles. Is this anything to do with the huge student accommodation development at Railway Rise?
