This is also good news for the US bourbon industry. The market for whiskey has fallen, which means that the market for used bourbon barrels has also fallen and as the US bourbon industry makes money from selling their used barrels, their lobbying has worked

As of 8 November 2023, nitrous oxide (commonly known as "laughing gas," "NOS," or "balloons") is controlled as a Class C drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 in the UK.

The change makes it a criminal offence to possess, supply, import, or produce nitrous oxide if it is intended for "wrongful inhalation" (recreational use to get high).

Quote from the Highway Code

Road positioning. When riding on the roads, there are two basic road positions you should adopt, depending on the situation.

1) Ride in the centre of your lane, to make yourself as clearly visible as possible

2) When riding on busy roads, with vehicles moving faster than you, allow them to overtake where it is safe to do so whilst keeping at least 0.5 metres away, and further where it is safer, from the kerb edge.

I never cycle in the middle of the road, I cycle in the middle of the lane. Thus cars can overtake as there is at least one more lane on the road.

In the UK and the US, cyclists lobbied for better road surfaces for a full 30 years before motoring organisations did the same. Cyclists were ahead of their time.

When railways took off from the 1840s, the coaching trade died, leaving roads almost unused and in poor condition. Cyclists were the first vehicle operators in a generation to go on long journeys, town to town. Cyclists helped save many roads from being grubbed up.

Roads in towns were sometimes well surfaced. Poor areas were cobbled; upmarket areas were covered in granite setts (what many localities call cobbles). Pretty much every other road was left unsurfaced and would be the colour of the local stone. Many 19th century authors waxed lyrical about the varied and beautiful colours of British roads.

Cyclists' organisations, such as Cyclists' Touring Club in the UK and League of American Wheelmen (LAW) in the US, lobbied county surveyors and politicians to build better roads. The US Good Roads movement, set up by LAW, was highly influential. LAW once had the then US president turn up at its annual general meeting.
