According to this map in the book Roman Buxton: a tourist guide to the town and spa baths by Brian Shepherd, it predates the use as a car park by some years…

Market clothing stalls must be neon. And in case that’s not enough they stick a solitary jacket on a pole.

Been working in Belfast recently and it’s good to see Grand Central complete and Weaver’s Cross development underway (though taxi drivers seem to be losing it over the closure of a road). Can still see the old Victoria st. Station and Europa bus station… for now.

Could Rule 153 be utilised? It's more a general rule about not overtaking ANY moving traffic in a traffic calmed area, and it's rarely observed. But if the road is traffic calmed, could they then add advisory signage referencing rule 153 but emphasising cyclists?

Wow. We have these Fullers vintage ales from 2002 and I’m scared to open those!

Oh yes. All the way up the road. Including a BMW slowly being reclaimed by nature. I’ve checked and unfortunately it’s still taxed so the easy way of getting it moved by the council (abandoned vehicle) isn’t available.

But trailers are amazing if you get a good one. Our Burley Tailwagon performed brilliantly in the Netherlands since we couldn’t take the cargo bike. Really smooth and could hardly tell I was towing.

You definitely need an SUV pickup to transport a rattan facebook marketplace chair home. This cannot be done by bike.

I hear you. All the time. Before 🇳🇱 hols I bought an already refurbed 90s Sunn Cross. Almost every night leading up to the trip I found something I wasn’t happy with and that always escalated. Had to be done. Had to be right. Only thing i didn’t do was the BB. Guess what loosened on the trip…

I don’t think the intention is for that to be an overtaking lane. It’s for junction capacity and queuing. It’s got a merge straight after and it’s at a junction so nobody should be overtaking (HWC rule 167). They should just use it to merge in turn. Goes without saying tho: should be cycle infra!

@rantyhighwayman.bsky.social @bicycledutch.bsky.social can you tell me what the purpose of this road marking is? It’s too constrained to be used in the same way as a UK mini roundabout, but is it intended to simply indicate the priority of a roundabout applies?

@rantyhighwayman.bsky.social how about a bus stop and fuel stop bypass? Leiden.

After a hard day pedalling to the beach and supervising a young Wheaten Terrier in his first civil engineering job it’s nice to find a shaded, chilled cafe next to the cycle path for frikandel speciaal and a refreshing Texels. Proost!

Well Gorinchen is really lovely. We were there only stopping overnight at a camping site at the harbour, but took a wander around this morning. It’s worth a short break there. Just up the river from Rotterdam and Dordrecht.

In Gorinchem I spotted another advantage of blocks - no need for A boards and sandbags taking up space on a footway when there are roadworks or diversions. Post is jammed between the blocks - as modelled by a bedraggled looking Bertie (dunked himself in the river).

Great now… in Belgium overnight on the way to Gorinchem for one night, then the similar sounding Groningen!

I once heard a bang and looked out of the window of my office at the front of my house, and saw this. Along with a guy running away.
Believe it or not the red car lived there, the silver car is the out of control intruder. They had to have that side of the house rebuilt.

These useless things that seem to have been custom made for every Morrisons store in the UK. The only bonus here being that it’s under cover.
