  • Cyclist injuries dropped by half after “hated” cycle lane installed, but mayor still claims scrapped lane largely used as “bike run” for drug dealers to “get through traffic"

  • or is some kind of schizoid aesthetic rejection where they just want bike-riding sissies to stop being a thing?

    I am slightly depressed at how much it looks exactly like this.

    Only thing I'd say is shopkeeps have a point about their footfall being affected by the lack of parking outside their shops now. Literally every other way to address that, besides nuking the site from orbit (the only way to be sure), is a better way to address that than just tearing up the bike lane.

  • I mean, there are loads of other solutions to a lack of parking ffs. Look at all that green field, I wonder how many parking spaces they need. A car park would spoil their view would it? if that's the issue, they could block their view of the car park by parking cars along the roadside in front of it. Oh no wait, they'd get a ticket for that.

    But no no no, lets just jump at the opportunity to hate on cyclists because that's the fun popular thing to do amongst meatheads, pick a group that's already getting picked on and pick on them harder. Sounds like we have our own Alabama.

  • looks at cycle lane the fuck is wrong with that?

    Maybe they want to line the roadside with parked cars instead.

  • This should be it's own criminal offence, a special form of perverting the course of justice that gets applied to the individuals concerned, not the company.

  • Third of UK teenagers who vape will go on to start smoking, research shows

    Jump

  • a quick google tells me 9% of school goers vape, and about 3% smoke. That's down from 0 vapers in the 90's and 50% of them having had a smoke (not necessarily smokers).

    also, amongst the whole of the UK, vapers have just met smokers at 11% each.

  • actually, while it doesn't change the conclusion hardly, we have all forgotten that 395k wage is a combined income.

    I mean these are still silly high wages.. Having said that though, both the combined income, and that it's very conceivable a good portion of that income is from capital gains, not work... they probably get more take home out of that 395k income than we'd expect too...

  • I'm not sure there is actually a proper definition of 'rich' that would allow you to accurately classify a group of incomes into rich and not rich.

    But if you were to think of it in terms of the 'feeling' I'd say I'd feel rich if I never had to choose a cheaper option for anything at all, ever, could eat out and check into a hotel for the night any time I liked, all whilst currently putting away a handsome investment of some kind - but still have more disposable income than I could possible waste between income periods with nothing but my own debauchery (barring expensive drug habits).

    That's what I call rich - basically never having to worry about your supply of money, thing is, some people can achieve this on much less than others due to their tastes and circumstances. I'd feel rich if I worked 9-5 and took home upwards of £300k for sure. Others might not though.
