After having ridden on UK roads, I'm surprised they found enough roads without major potholes in the UK to host a cycling race. #Glasgow2023

Why is this acceptable?
Spaces meant for pedestrians and bikes over run with cars.
Can you imagine the uproar if I parked my bike in the middle of the road🫤
Another example of anti pedestrian road design in Lisburn. Make pedestrians wait twice, isolate them in the middle of a busy road with a metal cage for safety. Pure luck no one was killed when another incompetent driver hit this. Ballinderry Road/Knockmore.
“But opponents have voiced safety and environmental concerns, particularly around a potential increased level of cycling on the path.”
What is with the anti cycling sentiment in NI? Are we all that miserable that we don’t see the immense good in it? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-i…

On 18/12/2022, before Christmas, my sister Natalie and her unborn son Dean was brutally taken from us.
DCI McGuinness, and his PSNI team, are keen to establish a picture Natalie’s social connections, particularly from those made through this platform and others.

For decades, we have spent trillions to retrofit our cities, our public spaces and our society around cars.
It just didn't work.
If only we had an alternative.

England aren't playing badly. This game is simply the result of global factors, not least the effects of the pandemic and Putin's illegal war in Ukraine.

In light of @grantshapps idiotic comments on cycling speed limits, plates, insurance etc etc this is worth another share. How about we focus on the actual problems?

What is even the point in having a woeful cycling diversion @deptinfra, when even the contractors park over it?
