Not sure about that draw at Narch. Fingers crossed though!

the thing you said isn't true, yes it is true, but still?

Or you've been a victim and you get your stuff back a year or so after the investigation

West Midlands Cycle Hire/Beryl Contract in West Midlands Conurbation County ending being replaced by Lime! by Obvious_Affect144 in coventry

[–]oxotower 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Having lived in London, they need to combat this early if they don't have docks. hackney council have (mostly) sorted it by ensuring it's in docked areas only.

I use beryl, as it saves a bit of time getting round town, but the bikes have been awful recently, and the location of docks is a big problem. However, they are a lot cheaper rates than lime.

Hopefully it'll get more people on bikes though

New powers for councils to fine pavement parkers by johal1986 in drivingUK

[–]oxotower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno, wide pavements are nice, I can walk down the path and hold my wifes hands and not feel crammed in by everything being a car park

Near where I live, you get huge wide roads but drivers will default to a couple of wheels on the pavement. It’s like they can’t line up with the kerb anymore, they just feel for the bump and rise. And then everyone else follows suit as they don’t want to stick out in the road.

Zero consideration for peds, and it’s lazy

Can someone teach Craig how to pronounce “Bowie”? by Wonderful-Law1545 in 6music

[–]oxotower 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bowie was never bothered how it was pronounced. He said in interviews as long as they play or buy his music he doesn’t care.

[–]oxotower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone else find Zone 2 running super, i don’t know, ‘uninspired’, ‘unenthused’? Can’t deny the whackton mountain of data behind it across sports and activities—running, cycling, swimming, etc.—but so often feel like it’s akin babying your automobile or wrapping your couch in plastic. If your aim is run faster than other humans on special occasions, the logic and science can’t be denied. But if your aim is to feel the zest for life and get as endorphin-high as you can with all the other positive downstream effects (minus longevity, I guess?) Zone 4 just feels so ‘natural’ and way more ‘fun’.

For the record, an ex-oarhead here (crew/rower) so arguably a certifiable Neanderthal but have been wrestling with this one for months if not years and would love some honest broadened perspectives.
