Spartacus

Beglfire I start, I have a lot of respect for Doctors and owe my life to them after various mishaps over the years. I am however getting a jaded view of them continuing to run the strike ballot next week in the middle of what is turning into a bad winter for the NHS. Of course they may vote to not strike, but personally feel it is irresponsible timing to consider it as hospitals are already struggling. Today the BMA warned of scaremongering over the current flu outbreak (BBC News - BMA warns of flu 'scaremongering' ahead of doctor strikes - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y22yzl6y6o) but just seeing how many people I know are going down with it, that feels like poor spin by the BMA. How do others feel ?

Would be interesting to see comparative figures for 1. UnAssisted Cycling 2. Power Assisted Cycling /electric bikes 3. Walking 4. Bus usage 5. Tube usage 6. Driving (car and motorbike) 7. Taxi To see if increases in Cycling have changed other modes of transport and where reductions have occurred (if any)

Blimey Didn't realise last night's party was being recorded 🫣

North Cross Road has had them up for a while too

The moon as its made of cheese 🧀

It is also a video shot in the day, not at night, and as we know, night time or dusk is when bright clothing could make a difference to the cyclists visibility. 🫣

@Rockets do not be seduced by the dark side, I feel a great disturbance in the force with this one

Maybe the explosion of lime and forest bikes has had an impact on cycling numbers over the past year 🤔

Do you think Donald has managed to get the gold foil off yet and eat the chocolate inside?

11 pages says they are

Only if it doesn't impact other forms of public transport, if buses are slower and with the now more common shorter route forcing passengers to change to get to their destination (thus incurring additional waiting time) some may just give up and drive everywhere thus defeating the drive to have fewer car journeys As ibsaid earlier, thete is a balance to be achieved.

Black is obviously the new fluorescent (bless, you lot argue about s41t at times) Fine Earl, Mal and March, if you want to not use lights or wear reflective clothing then don't be surprised if a driver or pedestrian doesn't see you on a dark, foul and rainy night. Personally I would make myself as visible as I could on the road, regardless of lighting conditions. As simple as.

Where exactly would an East Dulwich Christmas tree sensibly go ? Only possible place is the middle of the goose green roundabout

I love that some people on here are kicking and screaming blue murder about the concept of being visible to others for their own safety. Beggars belief. There was a time when people took responsibility for their own actions and safety. We should bring back the public information films including ones like the green cross code man/ tufty road safety ones and think bike to remind people that road safety is everyone's responsibility.

Come now, you have seen the constant threads concerning poor post and deliveries since the Dulwich office closed and merged with Peckham Surly that alone tells you how it would compare to now as the whole system was way more efficient. But despite the complaints and warnings here we are!!
