This isn’t the place it used to be. I probably won’t be posting here so much anymore. If you want to follow me or chat. You can find me on Bluesky, instagram or YouTube. All cyclegaz. ✌️

Spent the last week in Paris, somewhere which has recently taken away road space for general traffic and built dedicated cycle lanes across the city. Cycling has boomed as a result. Let’s have a look at their infrastructure 🧵

Don’t forget that motorists cause the most havoc on our streets, all the talk about other road users transgressions is a distraction from the real users that cause harm.

Travelling 12mph over the speed limit and complaining that you won’t reach your destination unless you only go 5 over is peak car brain.

I still stand by this being ridiculous. 140 miles of range isn’t quite enough to get to a destination while doing just 5 over.

Pushed the wrong pedal, crashed into a wall and destroyed it. Oops. 🙊

In Nice, France they have these bike locks integrated into @WorldBollard from ShareLock. You can reserve in advanced, get notifications if someone tampers and get insurance if it’s stolen.

PSA to cyclists. Do not trust drivers, do not trust passengers, do not ride in the door zone!

Will probably still get close passed by motorists.

So desperate was she to get to that parking spot, I was clearly entirely dispensable. She wouldn’t even give me eye contact. #cycling in #Sheffield

I'm shocked the Met Police issued an awareness course to this driver. If I was not hyperaware, on a bike with hydraulic disk brakes, and extremely experienced at using said brakes, this would have resulted in a collision that would have left me with serious injuries.

Just passed £20k of fines to motorists from my reports to Met Police!!! £20,376 in fines! 253 points on licenses! 35 motorists sent on driving courses! Big shout out to @SuptAndyCox and his team for taking action on these reports.

Highway Code: "Drive at a speed that will allow you to stop well within the distance you can see to be clear." Motorists in low sun: (wait till the end)

This driver appealed their sentence of 5 years. The appeal was heard and their sentence reduced to 4 years. He is a delivery driver. He did this as revenge for a prior exchange of words. He should never be allowed to drive again.

An insanely close pass by this van driver. It got issued the largest fine from any of my reports to date. £1,200 fine and £470 court costs. This was due to failing to notify the police who was driving.
