Who is a member of the Democrats 66 party, deputy mayor and is very much a politician (who has responsibility for traffic)......doh! Yup. Please see above about how fact checking is very important...ahem.. No. They are called Fatbikes. The clue is in their name but the suggested changes are for not just fat bikes but a whole range of bikes that are causing problems and injuries for their riders and others. Fatbikes are a particular problem. Is quite ridiculous. Yup but, you know, in your mind I clearly know nothing of the challenges posed by cyclists in the inner city and am just saying things to "agitate" and "troll". But you claim there are no challenges after a 30 minute run around the city and a check of StreetView. Right......

There have been people fairly recently killed by having apparently healthy trees in parks fall on them. The council tree people like trees. They don't remove trees without a very good reason. To talk about "mutilating the neighbourhood" and "reckless unconcern for the law" seems a bit harsh when you don't know the background. Why don't you find out why these trees have been/will be removed ? It's quite easy. A phone call will probably tell you:

And accommodation for servants too. Grouse shooting? Sorry, it's easy to take the Michael. I've been peering at a hole in the ground on Woodhall Drive a private road in West Dulwich. There used to be a £2million house there but expect something far grander. Although it's been a big hole for some time now. I have a legit reason to be on that road and always wave to the CCTV.

Thanks for posting this, I've always been intrieged by that house having glimpsed it passing by..It truly is the dream

Hello everyone 🙂 I am running a breathwork workshop this Saturday to help us embrace the gifts of the colder months ahead! All details can be found below. If you have any questions you can email me at [email protected] I would love to see you there! Booking Link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/wintering-a-breathwork-journey-tickets-1918837898809?aff=oddtdtcreator Location: Zen Yoga 24A Camberwell Grove, London SE5 8RE Date and Time: Saturday November 29th 13:30pm – 15:30pm Wintering: A Guided Breathwork Journey As we move into the stillness of Winter, nature invites us to slow down and turn inwards. The days shorten, nights get colder and we’re reminded that rest is not a luxury, but part of the rhythm of life itself. In this guided Conscious Connected Breathwork journey, we’ll explore the concept of Wintering - not only as a season, but as a metaphor for times in life when we're called to pause and retreat within ourselves, for healing and repair. Through the breath, we make space to release, reflect and reconnect with ourselves, embracing the process of renewal and honouring both the darkness and the light that follows. About Me I’m Lily, a certified breathwork facilitator (Alchemy of Breath) and trained meditation teacher (British School of Meditation). My approach to breathwork isn’t about chasing peak experiences. While powerful moments can arise, I believe the real healing lives in the quieter moments, when we meet ourselves exactly as we are, sit with what’s uncomfortable and learn to soften around it. My sessions are crafted to support nervous system regulation, emotional processing and deep rest. My intention is to create a space where you feel safe enough to listen, feel and gently reconnect with yourself. Before You Book Conscious Connected Breathwork is a potent practice and may not be suitable for everyone. Please read the following contraindications carefully. This session is not recommended if you have: Delicate pregnancy Diagnosed bipolar disorder or schizophrenia Cardiovascular disease or high blood pressure Detached retina or glaucoma Brain or abdominal aneurysm Epilepsy Uncontrolled diabetes or thyroid conditions If you’re unsure whether this is right for you, feel free to reach out. What to Bring A bottle of water Loose, comfortable clothing An eye mask (optional, but recommended for a deeper experience) Aftercare The beauty of breathwork is that so much of the benefit is in the integration. So, if possible, schedule in time for rest and quiet reflection after the session. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

You missed the additional context (surprise surprise!) in the quote; “Everyone knows a fatbike is very different to an e-bike,” she said. “The tyres are wider, the bikes are heavier and you don’t need to pedal to move forward, so they are more like a moped than a bike.” So, electric mopeds then. And in this context, initially Vondelpark, an inner city green park …which I agree, seems fair enough to ban electric mopeds from largely pedestrian places. the quote you posted is from a traffic chief, not a politician. Why did you say this? https://www.dutchnews.nl/2025/11/amsterdam-looks-to-ban-fatbikes-from-busy-parts-of-the-city/ Finally, my Google Streetview suggestion; I invited forum readers to check it out for themselves, not you? You seem to know the place, but seem properly hungup on my post. Please, no need to respond. —— apologies for diverting from topic March, Mate but there needs to be fact-checking & context.

I was just reading a load of lovely posts on Facebook from people saying they were happy to pay more tax if it went towards things like taking more children out of poverty. Heartwarming.

Any Linux users? Teaching myself Linux to escape from the abomination that Windows has been progressively turning into. Telemetry everywhere, a horrendous start menu and settings App, a forced Microsoft account, bloatware, cloud and AI features that no one's asking for at all.

Maybe start with the council before the papers. They often remove dead / damaged trees that are dangerous and replace them with spritely new young tress that are healthy.

This has been going on for years and years the school colludes with the coach drivers

Got an alert this evening that East Dulwich Picturehouse don't have any water and had to close. Wondering how long that will be and any other places affected...

What on earth was he on about? Air brakes - but I doubt you need to be idling for a long time to get the pressure to a level where they will work.

Indeed. Evening News & Star 21 May 1965:

This thead smacks of "I hate Labour", similarly recent posts on the Khan thread, for some of you.

I phoned them up a year or so ago, a coach was idling outside school, they helpfully had their number on the board by the entrance, and they took immediate action. Please go direct to the responsible organisation, rather than resort to social media in the first instance.

Because some in the medical profession consider it is. This recent study published in the Lancet concludes that the link is not confirmed and that more work needs to be done: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(24)00279-1/fulltext And the coroner in a landmark, and sad case, included poor air quality as a cause of death: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/feb/10/ellas-law-rosamund-kissi-debrah-air-pollution-death-london

Here’s the email address recommended from Alleyn’s website. I would cc. your local councillors also.

That beacon of socialism and notorious envier of home owners - the USA - has a property tax. Generally an annual charge based on the fair market value of your house.

Are the coaches in some way licensed by the council and paying to park there? What on earth was he on about?

I just thought it would be useful to remind everyone how this thread started. The OP made a very valid point. But instead of looking at why maybe more cyclists are taking risks by not having lights and in addition choosing not to increase their visibility with hi-viz, some posters separated out the points in the statement, dismissing the no lights issue ('illegal so no discussion necessary') and instead highlighted and focused solely on the hi-viz clothing aspect, some also choosing to mock to undermine, thereby deflecting from the original statement which made sense to many of us; as one poster put it- just common sense.
