More than 2,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. They’re demanding dignity: fair pay, safe conditions, a contract that respects their labor.
It’s time their voices are heard at the same volume as CEOs earning millions.
It's time to stop playing nicely, they should be afraid that each time they pavement park will they come back to an intact vehicle....
Electric cars actually pre-date the petrol cars,imagine if we would have had near 200yrs of continual EV development....
The cops have finally decided to prosecute someone who crashed into me with an illegal electric motorcycle. He's at the 'Find Out' stage now 😡
Took five months of basically making myself a pain in the ass for our local police force they finally prosecute someone who crashed into me on an unregistered electric motorcycle.

What shenanigans shall we partake in this evening then Amy?
I attempt to keep my ball of fire burning from a Monday morning to Sunday afternoon but this week has finished me off. Am done with adulting this and haven't moved out of bed for anything bar sustenance and the bathroom.
Stopped painting flags on roundabouts to protest cycle lanes....
Have had a few close calls on the road but the only collisions I have had cycle commuting were on shared use paths with people on illegal motorised vehicles. I feel sick every day riding to and from work now
Fun times #cycling #bikecommute
Love my @thewaroncars.bsky.social stickers catch the light 😁
This morning ran my Lezyne front light in race mode which gives 2 setting Enduro which is medium and Overdrive which is the full 1400 lumen coupled with my wee light on daytime flash....still not visible enough to pass a Give Way junction without someone pulling out on me 🤦♂️
@northwalespolice.bsky.social can apparently send officers to arrest someone impersonating a naval officer but don't have resources to act on specific intel about illegal ebikes......
Have had a license since 1992 with not a single speeding ticket or traffic offence. Ridden motorbikes, driven performance cars, competition cars, trucks and vans...these people are just entitled and think they're better than us.
My commute has now descended to using the road and mixing it up with drivers because the protected cycle path is too dangerous due to escooters and illegal ebikes
Five months after someone on an electric dirtbike knocked me off my bike on a shared use path the police have finally charged the rider.
No license
No insurance
Leaving the scene of a collision
I rang 999 initially and they flatly refused to attend scene. Months of chasing them and complaining
Ah, bike commuting in the Autumn...carry ALL the clothes because of the unpredictable weather and smell like a wet dog until May....
Image by the artist banksy. A man wearing a backwards baseball cap is holding a sub sandwich, arm back, prepared to throw. Image evokes a quarterback ready to pass the football.
Sandwich guy acquitted of misdemeanor charges - after federal grand jury refused to indict him on felony assault charges - by jury that apparently had sandwiches for lunch! He’s immortalized by banksy. The DO(in)J is no doubt outraged.

Love it when the vehicular cyclists enter the room. @thewaroncars.bsky.social had a really good podcast about them

We went on our first Critical Mass earlier this year. Suffice to say Amy was the star attraction #criticalmass
Brilliant, thank you 😊
Ouch. Well know that pain as have broken mine three times
Nothing wrong with a bit of train action
Nothing beats a bit of sportwashing.
And the cobalt in those batteries can be recovered unlike the cobalt used in fuel de-sulphuring when it's burnt it's gone.
