Very taken by Dan Hicks argument that we should stop using the term ‘post’-colonial since Colonialism clearly is not over.

On the last Friday of every month cyclists in Belfast take part in a critical mass event. It is great fun and enormously empowering. If only the Department of Infrastructure could create infrastructure that makes us feel safe all the time. @belfastcyclecam.bsky.social @deptinfra.bsky.social

The cycling infrastructure in Belfast is terrible. In north Belfast it is nonexistent. @belfastcyclecam.bsky.social @deptinfra.bsky.social @belfasttelegraph.co.uk

Dock Street in Belfast. The cycle route is routinely blocked by one of these monsters. There is a lorry park 50 meters away.

This is the map the Department of Infrastructure produced in 2021 for the delivery of cycle routes in Belfast. The lack of delivery is a scandal and we need accountability. @belfastcyclecam.bsky.social @sustrans.bsky.social

I really recommend this book from @dmavin.bsky.social. More than mapping the collapse of the major Swiss bank Credit Suisse, it shows that the bank has a horrible history of criminality abetting criminality, incompetence and deeply unethical practices. Could be defined as an Organised Crime Group.

Even without a load they manage to block the cycle lane.

The vigil held for GaryMcMahon, who was knocked off his bike and killed, on his way to work two weeks ago. Cyclists came together with members of the family in the hope that this might highlight the lack of protection for cyclist in Belfast.

Look at the map of cycle routes in Belfast 2004. Astonishing how little change we can see over 20 years. Damning evidence of the Dept. Infrastructure’s lack of commitment to health and safety, active travel and the environment. @belfastcyclecam.bsky.social

An important event. Many of us in the cycling fraternity in Belfast plan ride in memory of a fellow cyclist who died, a few days ago, in an accident. Cyclists deserve more protection.

The daily blockade at the Docks Street cycle route. 🤷🏽 This driver appeared to apologise. There are double yellow lines but it might make a difference if it was more clearly marked. @belfastcyclecam.bsky.social

I have been politely asking drivers parking across the bike path at Dock street if they would consider not doing it again.A number have said sorry, they had not realised. The driver of this lorry: ‘I don’t give a flying f**** about any of you’ Reassuring for cyclists everywhere. 😟

Very sad to hear of the death of Thomas Hylland Eriksen. A super person, a razor sharp mind, and a great ambassador for anthropology. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

The lack of protection for cyclists in Belfast is a disgrace. This is what regularly greets you on the main cycle route on Dock Street.
