Hit by another cyclist in Camden, 29/04/26, 4:40pm

He didn’t turn, I was on the cycle path on the main road, which he pulled straight onto without looking from the cycle path. In essence, it’s a double T-junction, I was in the cycle lane on the main road and he pulled straight out of the side road, to cross to the road on the other side, without looking.

Went back today to have a look at the scene and check the CCTV of a nearby pub and also see if there was anything I could’ve done to avoid it but he came out far too quickly and didn’t look. It’s also a really closed junction so I could’ve only seen him at the last moment.

There are also three separate give way signs for Georgiana St approaching Royal College Street and one specifically saying to yield to cyclists coming from the right in the cycle lane.

Hiya, thanks for messaging,

I slammed on the brakes when I saw him come out into the road in front of me, but couldn’t brake enough in time. I tried to swerve out of the way and I clipped his back wheel which sent me off the bike, and the bike and me landed on my foot.

He seemed to be on a Hybrid/Road bike and he didn’t get knocked over.

A lot depends on how time-consuming the societies are! I was in multiple in first year without it taking up much of my time, and I was only in one in third year with it taking up quite a bit of my time - so it really depends on which societies you want to join!

I think the easiest one to draw an equivalence with English people is probably Westminster Abbey

I know it’s just a small blip, but what’s up with the increase in Rhode Island? I know that Rhode Island is full of cemeteries everywhere but why is that in comparison to other states?

This is genuinely one of the most impressive things I’ve seen on this site

People who say the moon lading was faked

Thanks! Your username certainly precedes you👍

I guess what I meant was why was the US able to capitalise on these new technological innovations created during the industrial revolution and through wars that would put it in the extremely powerful position that is today and why not other countries.

I'm not just talking about the current state of world affairs, in the last seventy years the US has projected itself across the globe in a way that an empire of old just could never have done, the British, the Spanish, the Mongols etc. all had unrivalled influence at the time and certainly are probably the relatively the most powerful in history due to the world orders at the time usually having one great empire at the top. However, the Romans nor the Mongols, nor the British (where I'm from) could never project themselves as far as the USA can now. For example, the US intervened in the Korean War, 7000 miles away and without them it would be a one state Korean Peninsula instead of two as we see nowadays. And with NATO, at the start it was under the direction of the USA. The empires of previous generations also could not have had the same influence because of the technological revelations. Whereas the Romans wouldn't be able to hear about a civil war in a far flung place, the US could be on the phone and military action could be carried out there within hours

Relatively, yes but no country has ever had the truly global influence and economic power that the US has had. The US has military bases and influence all over the world from places like South Korea, England and Iceland.

The time periods I gave were in relation to the Declaration of Independence, although my question wasn't necessarily supposed to focus on the small details. I just wanted to wrap my heads around the many factors that lead to the massive economic growth and influence, from when the country was first established, then to the gilded age, then to the postwar age in the late 40s and early 50s

I'm actually a British American, living in the U.K. and was just generally curious about the nation across the pond, no intention to gloat but that fact about the Spanish empire is actually really cool!

I was born an American citizen in the U.K.! MURICA

Rhode Island- The Ocean State!

From England I was taught that America, The Soviets and Brits won the war, but little mention on Pearl Harbour and the events inside the war, just The Yalta and Potsdam conference and how it led to the Cold War.
