‘Motonormativity’: Britons more accepting of driving-related risk Allowance made for dangers that would not be accepted in other parts of life, finds study with potentially major policy implications

Sorry this happened to you. Not ok. Bikelash is a toxic mix of motornormativity+ othering + patriarchy + culture wars, targeting people on bikes.

"They were so lucky I was looking"

Ummm no. Stopping in time for a child running onto the street is not heroic/lucky, it is your goddamn obligation as a driver. Cost of entry. Kids are allowed to be unpredictable, you are not.

WCC suggests cutting cycling in the Annual Plan

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch."
I'm angry at WCC's framing of spending money on protected cycle lanes. Why is public safety up for debate? In a world full of misinformation and culture wars, how do they expect this will play out? @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

Cycling Linked to Lower Risk of Dementia, Study of Half a Million Finds Getting from A to B on a bicycle more often could reduce risk of dementia, possibly by protecting a part of the brain tied to memory functions, new research finds.

“Compared with non-active travelers, the cyclists had a 19% lower risk of all-cause dementia, a 22% lower risk of Alzheimer's, a 40% lower risk of young-onset dementia (before the age of 65), & a 17% lower risk of late-onset dementia.”

Fun is good. Is it registered for legal street use, or strictly for off road fun?
