The only thing that I trust is that I can't trust anyone that I don't know and trust personally.

I'm not surprised. It shouldn't be controversial. We have similar rules for cars in relation to the tyres to ensure minimum data braking distances in various weather conditions. It's common sense that you shouldn't have to swerve into traffic to avoid getting a puncture. It's something the should be discussed in a civil way

The efficiency part is just logic when every 4-5 seconds during rush hour a car is overtaking you. That has to be more poluting than just having another car on the road.

I'm a cyclist, I've only ever owned mountain bikes as racing bikes are too dangerous and slide too easily in the wet. I used to cycle 10 miles to work every day and I hated how cars would accelerate past me and I always questioned how much pollution must be created when they do. I didn't have a car and had no other option at the time and I'm surprised that I've never seen this considered.

My opinion changes massively when there are dedicated cycle paths.

Then it's not engagement. We have to stop this nonsense.

Also, we need laws making bots that pretend to be real users illegal. We're heading for some black mirror shit otherwise.

Sometimes I feel like something doesn't need to be studied, and we can just use common sense.

Yeah totally. Doesn't stop the theme music from being iconic and memorable though.

On the narrow roads where I live in the UK I also doubt the number of cars having to slow down and then accelerate to overtake is saving energy. I'd love to see a study that looked at the rural roads in the UK because I'm sure it's less efficiebt and more polluting.

Obviously this changes if there are dedicated cycle paths, but they are a rare thing or here in the sticks. Also there idiots on road bikes who refuse to use cycle lanes when provided. I think the highway code needs updating to stop this.

I'd also ban racing bikes from the road, if you can't cycle over a drain or a pothole then your bike isn't built for UK roads.

I'm sure I'm going to get down voted to hell and back for this post.

I like the Oxford dictionary definition:

"The systematic dissemination of information, esp. in a biased or misleading way, in order to promote a particular cause or point of view, often a political agenda."

I'm looking at it from the UK and it doesn't state what currency the prices are in. If I try to view the basket it asks me to sign up before I can see any details about the cost of my items.

This is a non-starter for that reason.

Anyone remember the Yahoo fight rooms?

I still remember my ID but I've forgotten the password and lost access to the email. Loved ICQ.
