Alf Dubs: we need to learn from my experience as a child refugee fleeing the Nazis
UK gov: so reject more family reunions yeah?
Alf: I said learn from not emulate the Nazis

“[Surrey police] called on those who frequently submit close pass clips to "engage with us further and work together to tackle" issues around road safety”

WTF does the police expect a person on a bike to do to avoid being close passed? It’s your job to go after offenders when presented with evidence, do it.

Police concede that "prosecution would have been more suitable" after close-passing van driver who could've "killed cyclist" let off with a warning letter https://road.cc/content/news/near-miss-day-897-307445

There was an opinion article in the Graun over the weekend that argued we would need yet more privatisation to “pay for” the net zero transition. That smelled like bullshit to me, but I’m not an economist so didn’t really know how to express this. Lo and behold, the fediverse provides:

It may be that in particularly fat fingered, but I find tapping on the “reply” and “boost” icons quite difficult on @IceCubesApp. I often end up opening the link/image several times before getting it right. Is it just me?

It looks like 'CORNICES CENTRE®' are about to discover what the Streisand effect is. That’s 'CORNICES CENTRE®', whose driver apparently can’t overtake a cyclist in a safe fashion.

So, my bikes got stolen, and I appeal to the #BikeTooter for help. First, my new Kona Rove, green 56cm. How new? So new I don’t even have a picture, so you’ll have to imagine the black SKS aluminium mudguards and Tortec rear rack added to the pic below. It also had a saddle pouch with spare tube, Park tool levers, and Crankbrothers multi tool. They also took the Decathlon Tilt 500. It will be very obvious it was stolen because it will come without battery or charger. Boosts most welcome.
