I don't post many videos now, but make no mistake, driving standards are appalling. Two lanes here, the first bus driver decides he is moving to mine without indication or checking if I am there or not.

I don't do a lot of work on my turbo bike, so was intrigued to see I had accidentally manufactured some ninja throwing stars.

Just been out with my son and his friends. We have been repeatedly abused, sworn at and threatened. How can this be acceptable to society?

Oh did I mention we were on bikes?

Did Ediz reply? He blocked me, is he not after all a fan of open, honest debate?

Cyclists don't cause air pollution. That would be engines mainly, like the ones you encourage the use of here for your hobby. So not only can you imagine you actually support it.

Given I have never been rude to you over there, I wonder if you will block me as quick here? Or did you bring your hypocrisy with you?

So at around 1300mm from the kerb, and less than 650mm from the middle of me, it was surprising that the Dan Frazer Gardening driver wasn't keen to speak to me,with his one working break light and unconventional understanding of road markings.

My camera is slightly offset to the left with the blue line being where my actual center is (at least at the bottom of the screen) close to 750mm out.

This is a common 40mph road marking. It can be a handy guide for close passing calibration. They can be different sizes but this is a fairly standard 1200mm design on a 3500mm wide lane. On the first image each bar is the same length.

Yup, either could have just apologised.

I went in (I was going in for surgery) and her supervisor spoke to me, saying it wasn't their business how employees parked and I should report it to the police if I wanted it to go anywhere. I'll still put in a formal complaint though.

Another one for @magnatom.bsky.social. Familiar with the staff members who park dangerously, blocking the crossing, throw open their doors and then refuse to apologies because apparently I didn't "check my mirrors" as they overtook me in a 10mph zone. Prevention is surely better than cure.

Wish I had spotted this earlier. The one I used just kept shouting "hurry up!"

At hospital, ready for the operation, nearly doored by a member of staff parking illegally at a zebra crossing.

Prevention, cure, spring to mind.

And likely will remain - if there is no spare capacity who would want to buy one if charging is problematic.

They could be but those chargers are particularly slow. Charged at an average of 7kw per hour yesterday. So a long range Tesla would take 10+ hours for a full charge.

ED seems to be a long way behind on the provision of chargers though.

New blue bike for my new bluesky account!

(Hmmm, what other accounts should I start?)

Not really but the issue is drivers.

(We have home charging, but awaiting a warranty replacement)

Yes, mid treatment, but I think only because the hairdresser said to
