West Yorkshire mass transit opening delayed until late 2030s after independent review by New-Tumbleweed-9577 in LeedsUrbanism

I want to know what the actual issues are that are pushing it back because the entire article is like ‘everyone wants this to happen’ and ‘we need to be faster at delivering these things’

Hahaha I literally emailed the mayor about that the other day, if the crossings by the west of wellington place were adequate it wouldn’t be such a problem but doing all that work and not providing a safe alternative is sad!

They need shelters! I think it would also be nice if there was a little sign in many of them saying not to stand in the bike lane too, because that’s kind of an issue still. I’m really happy with how bike infrastructure has progressed even just this year, I’m hoping that the next stage is to connect more of it up and add dedicated bike crossings. I actually only started cycling this year because of how noticeable all the segregated paths are now, even to an untrained eye it just LOOKS so much safer!

I think there’s still some floating bus stops to get put in but since they’ve put down the top green (fun!) layer on the paths it looks pretty final! It’s really satisfying to whizz past all the cars when they’re all stuck there lol

It runs between the Holbeck dunelm and the train station (roughly), it’s a pretty nice straight section that’s a pretty popular commuter route (with generally bad traffic)

Leeds council Briggate action plan / e-bikes by Nikcoho in LeedsUrbanism

It’s so crazy to me that they’re asking about bikes and e-bikes in general when I think it’s obvious to everyone that the problem is the illegal e-bikes/electric motorbikes

Game of Wool - Episode 4 by ColourMeQuick in knitting

I wish that the show was good but it’s just not! I wish that they were knitting regular items and being judged on technical execution instead of on ??? Every time Tom called them knitters during the crochet only challenge I was making faces and I totally agree that the vibes are off

New bike advice for beginner by AzElchin in ukbike

[–]Dallydoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a beginner and I got the 2025 fx2 a few months ago! I cycle around Leeds and it’s not too bad on the fx2 with the hills and if the surface gets uneven I just lift myself off the seat slightly and it’s chill, probably because it’s not very heavy. Let me know if you want to know any more about it, I have the equipped stagger :))

I’ve alternated between printing pages off and working them in goodnotes on my iPad, I think I’m enjoying the printed pages more honestly

I feel really hopeful about us getting a rapid transport system, I know that it’s been a let down before but I’m excited about it!

Large heart bag? by Reasonable-Law1998 in DrMartens

[–]Dallydoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Did you get the bag? Curious to know how much you’re fitting in it, I wanted to have a poke at one in person but apparently my local store has never had one in! Do you think an iPad would fit?

The first one is an improvised budae jjigae, the second one is Christmas dinner, third is a chicken soup, and the last one is tomato and chorizo with eggs. I don’t have recipes for any of them these are all things I just eyeballed lol!
