People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire: October 2014
http://cyclingfront.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire. Tuesday, 21 October 2014. S gloucs first cycling protest ride! S Gloucs is spending its government transport cash on "eliminating pinch points" at busy junctions, where "pinch points" means "bits where drivers sit round for more than usual". There is nothing in their proposals for this —a topic for another day, but which the message from S gloucs council is pretty much "Fuck off you cyclists and stop bothering us". Date: 20 October 2014. We responded to th...

People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire: June 2015
http://cyclingfront.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire. Sunday, 28 June 2015. When "cyclists follow the highway code" means "get out of the way". Twitter is notable in that it allows politicians to engage with their electorate. Here is Sarah Wollaston, MP, praising the PM. For promising the attend the all party cycling working group —and who should come out the woodwork but someone someone with the old "highway code and license" distraction. You should never ride more than two abreast,. Which means that anyone ...

People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire. Wednesday, 28 January 2015. Based on the recent London Taxi Drivers Association commentary on the proposed london cycle routes, here is an updated version of our original bingo card. If you listen to the interview. Posted by People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire. Tuesday, 27 January 2015. Google, Apple, Uber, Tesla and the future of cars. Tesla and Google; to a lesser extent Apple and Uber. Yet car manufacturer "in car experiences" are designed t...

People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire: That pittance we promised? We lied. Now fuck off.
http://cyclingfront.blogspot.com/2015/06/that-pittance-we-promised-we-lied-now.html
People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire. Thursday, 11 June 2015. That pittance we promised? We lied. Now fuck off. Late last year some coalition politicians. Turned up in Bristol. To reannouce old promises of cash and add a few more pennies. Why did they do that? They wanted to help our cities. This is maybe one which the Libdems could rightfully claim. Note, however, the cities targeted included those with LD MPs —not just Bristol, but Sheffield. It's gone, a "projected underspend". That's not "...

People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire: July 2014
http://cyclingfront.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire. Sunday, 27 July 2014. If the FTA gets its speed increase, we want our safe passing law. The change is announced with a claim of money being saved -the FTA's agenda, tacking in a "will save lives" claim to sell it to a wider audience: everyone who drives. As for the cyclists and the horse riders -we don't count. We aren't a big enough group to have any influence on central government at all -and this shows it, as does the pickles parking rules. Either someo...

People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire: November 2014
http://cyclingfront.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire. Sunday, 23 November 2014. Cycling Mileage: tax deductible even if your employer doesn't care. Those people lucky to earn enough to qualify for filling in a tax return now have the luxury of opting to receive 20p/mile expenses for business miles cycled —even if their employer doesn't support this. People who don't have to fill in the paperwork can opt to do so if they ask HMRC, at the price of time and possibly some tax return software (here: TaxCalc).

People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire: April 2015
http://cyclingfront.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire. Friday, 24 April 2015. The eternal roadworks of the BBRP. Staple Hill Tunnel Railway Path closure "6-10 weeks" is due to be complete next month. That's. Seven months after it began. This is good news for cyclists as it means they don't have to suffer cycling through parts of the city that are so unused to cyclists they have to have warning signs up, parts of the city where locals put tacks out in their way. The Lawrence Hill widening. That's the most popul...

People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire: December 2014
http://cyclingfront.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire. Monday, 1 December 2014. The S Gloucs problem: the attitude to cyclists. During the the Bristol "crumbs to cyclists". Event, praise was directed to the BB Railway Path: the jewel in the sustrans crown. In strava, a burning line between Bristol and Bath. What nobody said was that the RP is now closed until march and that nearby residents are sabotaging cyclists detouring the closure. As that is what is happening. The original detour sent cyclists through th...

People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire: The E-W CSH: A disaster for London and Great Britain. Apparently
http://cyclingfront.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-e-w-csh-disaster-for-london-and.html
People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire. Wednesday, 11 February 2015. The E-W CSH: A disaster for London and Great Britain. Apparently. Last week TfL voted in the E-W CSH. From the perspective of liveable British cities, this is significant event. It means that Londoners crossing the city by bicycle will be able to do so, confident that they will reach their destination alive. At least once they get to the CSH. Pedestrians. You are still fucked by TfL and Westminster Council. That is, unless you ...

People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire: May 2015
http://cyclingfront.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire. Sunday, 3 May 2015. Where are the Fucking Husky Dogs? So far during the this election period, while the politicians have been bickering on twitter and appearing in staged events we have had. Air pollution so bad that the government has been telling some groups of people to stay indoors and not do strenuous exercise. CO2 levels not getting any lower. Massive droughts in California. And what do we see in the election? Nothing but some fatuous promises, "stri...
