"If you didn't want me to drive through the toucan crossing, you should have put a bollard there" or similar.
Don't you hate it when other drivers force you to sound your horn and overtake badly when there is an entire empty lane for you to use to reach the red lights just meters ahead...particularly when those drivers don't exist.
Met this chap cycling from almeria to North Germany. Acoustic bike and dog. Very, very impressive.
There must have been a cyclist jamming bluetooth signals across Glasgow today. You wouldn't believe the amount of handheld emergency mobile calls that were having to be made...
Another reason to hate the cupboard for bikes on the train. If you can get them in, the lock can break and the bikes trapped and the door has to be dismantled... Might get home at some point
I saw someone collapse today (I think they are ok now...) but couldn't believe how many people just drove past when I was signalling for help. Since when did that happen?
Some EV oddity/fun. Car charged to 80%(set to this), drove 16 miles at 5m/KW reached destination with 81% left. It is warmer, but not sure how % has increased not just the range.
Almost forgot to celebrate the anniversary...

Driving around in Wales today. Haven't imploded in rage at the "blanket" 20mph limit, I must be doing it wrong.
Clearly I have been mentally scarred by all the latest TT helmets. I initially was amazed that Amazon had branched out into the niche cycling market so quickly.
Please sign this petition demanding that @EDCouncil properly tackles road safety before we have any more death on our roads. Many incidents on our roads would be avoidable with proper infrastructure for walking and cycling, and traffic calming. change.org/p/immediate-ac…
Is the correct caption, "Just use the other side" or "5 abreast, who do they think they are?"
Just another two of the many anonymous, dangerous drivers on the road this evening...

@AlanMyles8 Yup, different car that I’ve seen doing it the past few weeks
@AlanMyles8 Before I had a camera I just had to take their word for it at times, this chap was fully sure the van had something to do with this close pass and that he also used the other lane to pass. It's like they make up a scenario after the event. x.com/langoo/status/…
@sturmeyarcher3 I spoke to the driver he said something about the van being in his way if I remember correctly. (nonsense) also he was shure they used the other lane to pass. I think this is just how this particular driver drives, was fully prepared to defend this pass.
@AlanMyles8 I heard that mere proximity of a bike will block Bluetooth completely,
@AlanMyles8 Terrible, we use LNER to get from Inverness to Newcastle for our annual tour in Europe and we have to book both slots in each cabin in order to get our touring bikes in. I am getting on and find it really hard to lift the bikes into the vertical. Trains and bikes should work
@AlanMyles8 Oh. If only you knew the time wasted by officers due to PF 'requests'
@AlanMyles8 At a local stor last autumn, and ther's a guy laying on carpark having a fit. Made sure he was OK, helped get him up when he could and moved to a safer spot. Didn't want ambulance or anything, lived rough, but I was shocked at how many people walked past him before I got stopped.
@AlanMyles8 I remember, years ago now, seeing an elderly fella fall in the ice. I was 200metres away. By time I got to him about 30 or 40 people had driven past him laying in the street. So that's always been the case from what I can tell.
@AlanMyles8 I stopped on my bike in a dodgy underpass where a young woman had collapsed. There were loads of people just walking past her assuming she was off her head. She wasn't, she'd had a fit, but no one but me thought to stop to check. She was fine, but next time she might not be.
@AlanMyles8 I spotted someone collapsed, but still semi-conscious, while cycling with my son and called an ambulance and waited with him. Lots of people walking and cycling stopped to check but only one driver, a nurse, out of maybe a hundred or more cars that passed, stopped to help.
@AlanMyles8 I came off my bike and have a distinct memory of the legs of a jogger going past. They would have seen me come off but didn’t stop. Luckily a man from Glasgow was walking his dog and came over to help me.
Decades. Unfortunately. I had a bicycle accident 30years ago, it was 2 miles of trudging home torn to bits before anyone stopped and offered help. Worse part - a colleague saw me and continued past, asked me about it the next day!
I saw someone collapse today (I think they are ok now...) but couldn't believe how many people just drove past when I was signalling for help. Since when did that happen?
@AlanMyles8 No surprise tbh, seen similar behaviour even as far back as the 90s where drivers just drove past someone collapsed on the pavement.
@AlanMyles8 I got off my bicycle once to help a woman push her car. Nobody else stopped.
@CyclingInASkirt @AlanMyles8 I guess it's been going on for at least 2000 years: cf the parable of the good Samaritan. Well done for stopping - in the rare situations where I've needed to, I've never regretted it.
@AlanMyles8 A bit of a tangent, but I was driving back from the LBS (sorry!) on a Saturday when a mini Cooper s had stopped in the middle of the road here I turned, parked on doubles and went to help Cars were queued behind but none got out so 5 lads on a grp ride got off their bikes to push
@AlanMyles8 It's always been at least a bit like that - being sealed off from the outside environment makes drivers even less likely to help out IMO.
@AlanMyles8 @roadcc @markandcharlie @MikeyCycling Lennoxtown?
@AlanMyles8 I presume you know I GIFed this - search for something like "bicycle kick fall pink"
