Cyclist, bike madness, rider, two wheel explorer and cycle fixer. Sometimes I get to walk a dog. Writes software. Studied economics. Vote for communists, get free stuff. Vote for Tories get robbed of societal structures.
@sbarlster.bsky.socialThe right answer, for drivers too, is always to take space away from drivers. My local bypass has 13 lanes (seen in the picture below) and is still congested multiple times every day. When it’s congested like this the traffic floods out to local residential streets. Pollution in homes and danger.
@sbarlster.bsky.socialSecurity Council busy discussing his ending. 🤨

@sbarlster.bsky.socialYes. Applied to where the harm and risk actually comes from. Evidence based regulation.

Geofencing and speed-limiting hired e-bikes is widely accepted, tech is developing fast, so should we apply the same danger reduction logic to driving cars?
@sbarlster.bsky.socialAre 29000 KSIs a year reasonable or unreasonable?
@rmcewanphotography.bsky.socialReposted by @sbarlster.bsky.social
@sbarlster.bsky.socialOur govs hard limit e-bikes to 25kph. And city bike schemes are geofenced so that the power cuts when they leave the hire zone. If we can do this for 20kg bikes, why not for 1500kg motor vehicles?
@sbarlster.bsky.socialWe could choose to speed limit and geo fence vehicles in our cities, but our govs choose not to. Think about why that is?
@sbarlster.bsky.socialSide fell off.
