I hate

you may have already seen these today, but here's two more from the guardian as the DfT's own report into them, reveals LTN's are good and debunks some of the "commonsense" myths that arise from those that oppose them.
Basic gist, you have to keep them for a couple of years and the benefits appear.

Lovely, thanks!

That first one is hilarious, trying to bury the report after not getting the answers they wanted 😂

Googling something about a series you're watching only to have the autocomplete give you a spoiler.

No I didn't fucking want to know why character A kills character X, or even that that happens!

Now I'm going to be fucking waiting for it, aren't I.

FFS, there are 4 acres of parking for moto cunts like that but no he needs to block half of the narrow foot path and access to the bike rack from one side.

There is the fear of some dozy cager swinging at full chat into an “empty” space. Most places have a moto spot though so still dumb

It may also be about rain. (No excuse for parking it like an idiot though.)

BMW GS
Full Rukka suit

GS wanker status confirmed.

Needs big aluminium boxes though for his total cunt badge.

Not buying that, I park in normal spaces all the time and not had an issue.

Oh me neither, but it does weigh on my mind

Also what the fuck is that under the kickstand, they worried those pavers are going to melt

Aspirational just in case they ever think they'll take the bike onto the beach:

In reality the closest it will get to the sand is the sharp sand under those pavers.

Kickstand holding up a heavy bike like that on sand. Hahaha!

Foot path doesn't look narrow judging where the bollards are in the top right hand of the picture. The seating area looks like a car space length plus the the pedestrian area.

Also there is a camera and somewhere to lock a bike too, either the stainless bar or the bike racks. Motorbike parking rarely has anywhere to lock to.

Helmet on the floor gets to me, feels like I'm rubbing my head/neck on the dirty floor.

The puck thing is weird.

Never been to a bike rally in a muddy field and used a crushed beer can under the side stand to hold up the bike.

Pucks are common in hot places. Once they’re on nobody bothers taking them off.

It was a hotlink to an image from a site that sells large sidestand feet:

Gah!

It looks more like some kind of pyramid.

It is styled to make the GS look like some kind of cyberbike?

I have a new one:

English people giving an Irish surname as the name for their dog

“Murphy DOWN DOWN DOwn good boy good boy”

Its because they can’t get away with using slurs for black people for dog names any more.

My labradors (black) have always been Murphy, Beamish and Guinness, the next Guinness will be the third. This is not because I am stupid, lazy or racist it's just tradition. Incidentally, my cockers are Stella and Boddington, it's about beer.

You'll need a better reason to call me racist.

Better names than Heineken or Pabst…

Quite offensive to the Dutch and Hipster communities respectively

Hell of a reach, this one.
