One for everyone who thinks French cycle routes are all amazing. Many are, but note the change from good to paint on rubbish here in Dieppe.

Motornormative: Cyclists must stop crossing on the Veloroute de Lin near Dieppe. It's fields to either side. "But they might damage a combine harvester!"

Seat 6 on an Azuma train with @lner.co.uk How on earth did Hitachi get this terrible design feature past quality checks? Impossible to use the arm rest unless you lean forward and if you sit up, horribly cramped. So disappointing.

When built this cycle path on to a main road went over a full height kerb. Chased the developers and after 8 months it's finally being constructed as it should have been when built. Queensbury, Hatfield, Herts.

@serailway.bsky.social. Insanely overcrowded 1004 from St Pancras as 12 cars into 6 at Ashford didn't work. Please replan for 12 cars to Dover. 6 bikes and wheel chair crammed in as wheelchair space is the only space for cycles.

A ride along the new section of Cycleway 20 in Enfield, which is next to the New River. Delightful green space already popular with parents collecting kids from school. The New River was built at the time of Shakespeare to get fresh water from Amwell, near Hertford, to London.

Is this the longest route of continuous Cycleways in London at 48.1 miles? No road used twice. All the Cycleways connect with each other. A "longest ride for the longest day"? Critique welcomed. ridewithgps.com/routes/50312... @transportforlondon.bsky.social @londoncycling.bsky.social

4 bikes squeezed into the wheelchair spaces on @serailway.bsky.social HiSpeed. No straps to hold them securely in a train which has just been refurbished. Why?

Todays excellence in car parking award nominee. It could be worse and the lack of yellow lines here means this is of course perfectly legal. But it's not helpful.
