Cycling campaigners blast proposed revamp of key Bristol road to M32 (Muller Rd)
https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/cycling-campaigners-blast-proposed-revamp-9777337
Campaigners have criticised the removal of cycling and walking improvements from a major revamp of a key road connecting north Bristol to the M32. City councillors approved the next step of plans for more bus lanes on Muller Road in Lockleaze.
But Bristol Cycling Campaign is furious that proposals first announced in 2018 to make active travel easier and safer on the ‘cycle-hostile road for only the brave and bold cyclist’ have been dropped. The council’s transport and connectivity policy committee voted 8-0, with one abstention, to proceed with the revised second phase of the project by submitting an outline business case (OBC) for almost £1million to create new bus lanes on the bottom half of Muller Road, from the railway bridge near Shaldon Road to Heath Road.

My new notice for vehicle tax is for £35 for 2025. That's for a 1.4l diesel. How much should I pay for a bike?

Having a damper on the door, so it cannot fly open would seem to be a simple & effective solution. I've never heard why it's not used.

Or you could play safe and upgrade to 105. No chance of it falling apart in the same way as overpriced Ultegra with it's crappy 'Airfix' glue.

You could well be right. Personally, I think Avonvale Rd is just a disaster for having two way traffic. So many drivers think the traffic calming...

Meh, he said "about" 75psi which is fair enough - ETRTO use 5 bar (72.5psi) as the limit, so 75psi is well within the error margin of the gauge on...

And just how are you supposed to transport your three
kitschildren to the onlydecent schoolschool you can get them in / nursery, to their after school activities, then home safely again, with their longbows, 'cellos or just keep them safe because they're only 9 / have special physical or other needs?(TBF it's another "chicken and egg" issue for the UK as we have literally built in "need to drive" and mentally / socially established this as part of adult patterns).
Meanwhile in The Netherlands... (as noted by David Hembrow, contrasting with the UK's "more training, less cycling").
