This is *especially bad* if you’re a cyclist

And even worse if the car has automatic full beam LEDs where the driver is oblivious to dazzling you as a cyclist

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY.

There was also a 71% drop in air pollution.

Cardiff is a hot-bed of activity for Mastodon, there are (up to) 5 of us! At least @DrEdBridges @carlmorris as well

Maybe we should organise an annual Toot Wales Caerdydd get-together...?!

Cyclists should be able to treat a stop sign as a yield sign and a red light as a stop sign.

Cyclists may be right to run stop signs and red lights. Here’s why
Should cyclists be allowed to treat stop signs as yield signs? This rule from Idaho is divisive, but the scientific data is surprising.

Hey #postmarketos users, I'm looking for a solution to quick access to loyalty cards, like you would have via google wallet or catima on android.

I've tried Passes but the file formats it accepts look like they are specific for flights etc.

Thanks in advance!

Quite the thing to hear a sitting Labour Member of the Senedd suggesting that the UK Prime Minister should ditch the Labour Secretary of State for Wales in order to change the perception of the party here ahead of #Senedd26 #Cymru #Wales 👀

With so little time between now and #Senedd26, there's very little of substance the UK Labour Party could do to change the context for Welsh Labour's campaign next Spring. So, learning from Harold Wilson, should he consider replacing a Welsh Secretary considered to be unpopular? #Wales #Cymru

Really well worth watching this clip. Kirsty remains one of the Welsh Govt Ministers held in higher esteem by people who have worked with her.

To hear her voice breaking as she describes the effect on her family of her political life is utterly heartbreaking. 👇👇👇
