House of Games… can we get rid of the “please may I go to the toilet” round and the round where they all make rules. Bring back some of the old rounds.

Very good read from @dannywallace.bsky.social - timely, important, entertaining, and in places, alarming.

What's that? Closing off roads that don't need to be open for rat running is not a bad thing? Well WHO KNEW.

The green economy grew by 10% in 2024 and generated £83bn. It’s time to stop backpedalling on the green stuff and hit the accelerator. The faster we decarbonise the faster we cut energy costs, create jobs and strengthen our economy.

BREAKING: I’m hearing the great Donald Shoup has passed away.
Few urbanists can really be called game-changers, but Shoup powerfully changed how we see parking rules and their huge affect on cities.
The recent revolution in parking standards was inspired by his unique work.
Thank you Donald. #RIP

Alright, let’s address the elephant in the bike room:
Don’t be the guy who pops into bike posts just to comment on helmet use. It’s unhelpful, often unwelcome, and stirs up unnecessary tension. And yes, it’s usually men doing this.
So men, just stop.

Excellent article.
I'd love if this was a pivotal moment. If you feel aggreived by #Panorama, complain. This treatment is harmful to all. It's stopping people cycle to work, or have bikes in rented homes. It's economic poison

A request to Cycling Bsky - I desperately want to pre-bunk this Panorama hatchet job airing tonight. Millions will see it and getting out ahead of misinformation is the cure. If there is a way to amplify this post to your audiences please help as i'll be correcting the record as best I can soon 🧵

Seeing a Citroen Ami in central London is as rare as spotting a snow leopard in the wild. This type of vehicle should be the default for urban driving for those who must drive in the city. SUVs should be taxed out of existence.
Note how this beauty occupies only a third of a standard parking space

First long trip in the Megane and my longest ever in an EV — 465 miles. Rugby Services are a bit upside down with chargers but managed to top up at next stop, Watford Gap, quicker than we could finish our teas and coffees - and that was on a busy Friday afternoon, 137 miles into the journey…
