Quite right, Boris needs a bump.

They are multiplying cycling facilities everywhere because it is pretty plain to see that it isn't that far in the future before no one will be able to afford any other form of transportation. In San Francisco they are closing off streets to everything but bicycles and pedestrians and one block of travel for people living there who can park on the street. I don't know if you've ever ridden in San Francisco, but it is hard enough to get around in San Francisco without closing off streets.

No, never been to San Francisco, My knowledge of the USA only extends
from Battery Park to the top of Central Park. I lived five minutes from
work, so no need to cycle.

In London, where I've lived most of my life, cycling has always been
quicker, due to traffic jams. Here they are closing off roads and
cycling is getting better, more relaxed, less of a battle.

As for needing a bike, electric scooters seem to be becoming very
popular in London. I must admit I quite fancy one.

Bonus points for running over an 80 year-old pregnant nun on your electric scooterscooter. Double bonus points for running a pusher for John Forester's arid Vehicular Cycling dream, which would irresistibly lead to state control of cycling.

Andre Jute
Just saying.

Come on Andre, you're killing me. Forester never seem to get it. The basic idea was fine but as usual with his type, he had to take it to extremes. I am sure that he himself did NOT ride like his book claimed. I did a quick 32 miles with only 1300 feet of climbing and the traffic was almost as bad as before the lockdown. Made me remember why I've been doing slightly shorter but more climbing on horrible back roads. I've got in 300 miles and almost 11,000 feet of climbing despite this damn lockdown and rather poor California weather. I wait to start until after 9 and it was still 46F degrees out. It ended at 57 degrees. During this time I ran stop signs everywhere when it was clear and on three of these occasions it was directly in front of the cops who didn't even blink. Of course this being California they've probably passed a law about the cops blinking.

We now have a President who is so sure of his position that he has 15,000 Soldiers in the Capital, he has done nothing since entering office but write dictatorial orders to counter all of the good things that Trump accomplished. The entire Democrat side of Congress is scared ****less of allowing those soldiers to actually have weapons in the rather certain fear that they would turn on the Democrats and wipe every last one of them off of the face of the Earth. They have called out all of the Secret Service to protect the Democrats who are shivering in fear from the things they are responsible for.

If you're allowed to ride, why are they not allowed to drive?

Admission of illegal behaviour noted.

This erstwhile 'president' has nothing to do with it. Ms
Pelosi brags that it was her idea under her order. See also
US Constitution, Art II, Sec 2.

Just saying what? In a city it is safer to adopt aspects of vehicular
cycling. It's not the same as riding in the middle lane of a motorway.

And what's wrong with electric scooters?

If an 80 year old nun is pregnant, perhaps God wants her to be smote by an escooter.

Note: there is state control of cycling, assuming you're doing it on a road, even in Ireland.
