What do you do when someone parks in a cycle lane?...🤨
...Why, temporarily block off a vehicular lane & make it just for cyclists until the car has moved on, of course.

Just dropped my kids at nursery. Car had reverse parked with the tailpipe 4ft from the front door the kids are waiting. Guy was out of his car handing his child over.
Kindly asked if he'd could turn his engine off while outside the nursery, his response:
"Is it doing any harm?"

So if I pull out into another lane and cut you up as a driver, you're not going to have a problem?
Obstructions in bike lanes are just that!
They negate their purpose, delaying people & putting those who hadn't planned on sharing space with cars at greater risk.

This farmer's behavior cuts to the heart of our broken philosophy on land ownership & custodianship.
Open land should be for everyone's use within reason. This means farmers should welcome people crossing their land & the public should respect farmers' crops & livestock.

People that hate cyclists already hated cyclists and have long treated them accordingly, such as parking in their infrastructure.
This is known as 'cyclists fighting back'.
If you don't like oppressed people standing up for themselves, that probably means you're an oppressor.

It's literally a cul-de-sac. There's basically zero traffic. It's parallel to a busy main road making this a commonly preferred pedestrian route.

This prompts a very good conversation and it's staggering how so many simply don't understand the irrelevance of the cycle lane.
1.5 meters is 1.5 meters, whether or not there is some paint on the floor.
Contains 🤬. It happened again. Another entitled driver who is too thick to understand that I don't want to put myself at risk by cycling in the tick box cycle lane through a pinch point. Nice of them to drive so close that their number plate is nice and clear for the report.

You still need to use much of the other lane to overtake single file cyclists anyway. It literally makes no difference that they're riding two abreast....

All we know is that speed limits DEFINITELY work for cars.
I don't think I've EVER seen cars excessively breaking the speed limit.
ESPECIALLY 20mph zones. Drivers take those VERY seriously.
😐
A cyclist who fatally hit an 81 year old woman at 29mph in a 20mph zone successfully defended himself because "speed limits don't apply to cyclists in the same way as they do to motorists".
Is this justified?

Simple. Would you turn across a nearside lane to turn off a road? No.
The footway is considered one of those lanes.
It's always been barbaric to carve routes through where people live and work and then tell them that the people in the big metal boxes are more important!

It's far more efficient and environmentally friendly if they just leave the car at home.
Promoting pedestrian priority speeds up walking journeys and encourages more to leave their vehicles at home.
