@ronfilipkowski.bsky.socialReposted by @chairrdrf.bsky.socialZelenskyy says Trump has betrayed Ukraine.
@chairrdrf.bsky.socialExactly. The roads were never theirs to "give" anyway.

@chairrdrf.bsky.socialJust back from the well attended funeral of my old friend, colleague and comrade Mayer Hillman. Here's the "Order of Service" cover.... 1./

@chairrdrf.bsky.socialDisgraceful minimising of terrorism by a Reform politician. This is what car brain/car supremacism/car culture leads to. HT @ottoengineer.bsky.social
@chairrdrf.bsky.socialYou know the old "make public transport free!" trope. Having free (and nowadays quite good quality in London) PT doesn't stop pensioners from driving.

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social gets it.
My late comrade Mayer Hillman questioned me once about one of the numerous Heathrow consultations/enquiries:
"What did the Bangladeshi children say?".
Think about it.
@chairrdrf.bsky.socialCongratulations!

@cyclinguk.bsky.socialReposted by @chairrdrf.bsky.socialActive Travel England’s new Women and Girls’ Safety Hub brings together guidance, case studies & practical resources to help put women’s experiences at the heart of street design. It’s a step in the right direction for #MyRideOurRight
Because safer streets for women = safer streets for everyone 👇
@chairrdrf.bsky.socialHmmmmm....
@chairrdrf.bsky.socialI'll be giving a (v. short) tribute to Mayer Hillman at tomorrow's version of @activetravelcaf.bsky.social : amongst other work, he focused on how walking and cycling are modes of transport to be properly supported.
It's partly because of Mayer that AT is "a thing".

@chairrdrf.bsky.socialNice one Anna!
@chairrdrf.bsky.socialHave a good one and let us know how you get on!
@chairrdrf.bsky.socialYes!
@chairrdrf.bsky.socialInterestingly, this was quoted by a prominent anti-LTN campaigner as another reason why they were bad...
@jaj991.bsky.socialReposted by @chairrdrf.bsky.socialYou just know it was a cyclist that knocked down this traffic light then tried to cover it up by pushing the car on top of it.
