ebike parked at home shrouded in fairy lights, i was testing them ready for festive season and the twinkling made a great live photo, sadly not animated on Bluesky.

Today is World Sustainable Transport Day, my longtail aka ‘BiBi is almost 2 years old and has notched up nearly 3000miles. Apart from cold weather affecting the battery, it has been running like a dream. #ebike #Sutainability #GlobalGrooves #TFGM #BeeNetwork #RideOrDie

Image of a readout screen on a Bee Network bus on Greater Manchester, England. Screen indicates that the driver should wait 1 minute 19 seconds before departing (presumably because they have arrived at this stop early)

For those who like to shout at the driver or try and rile the other passengers if the bus stops and waits at a stop. I know you think the timetable is set around you but - here's the screen that tells the driver to wait when they're early.

Getting step free access across the constituency is hugely important, not just for fairness, but also to make sure that people can use public transport to get to work. More accessible stations deliver growth as well as fairness #TfGM #BredburyStation #LisaSmartMP #Westminster

The regular provision *and removal* of bike lanes makes public information updates important. So this downloadable Cycle Network Map by #tfgm dated 2016 is not reliable.

BiBi The big bike at the Incredible Bus Stop in Heyrod. We campaigned to have this landmark restored and had hoped to add a living roof and artwork, #TFGM rejected our plans but did fix the glazing and crumbling walls. This is all that remains of the old power station. 📸 #ebike #transport #tameside
