I'm not surprised. It shouldn't be controversial. We have similar rules for cars in relation to the tyres to ensure minimum data braking distances in various weather conditions. It's common sense that you shouldn't have to swerve into traffic to avoid getting a puncture. It's something the should be discussed in a civil way

The efficiency part is just logic when every 4-5 seconds during rush hour a car is overtaking you. That has to be more poluting than just having another car on the road.

I'm a cyclist, I've only ever owned mountain bikes as racing bikes are too dangerous and slide too easily in the wet. I used to cycle 10 miles to work every day and I hated how cars would accelerate past me and I always questioned how much pollution must be created when they do. I didn't have a car and had no other option at the time and I'm surprised that I've never seen this considered.

My opinion changes massively when there are dedicated cycle paths.

Heaven is on earth but it's often gated behind a paywall

Sometimes I feel like something doesn't need to be studied, and we can just use common sense.

Yeah totally. Doesn't stop the theme music from being iconic and memorable though.

On the narrow roads where I live in the UK I also doubt the number of cars having to slow down and then accelerate to overtake is saving energy. I'd love to see a study that looked at the rural roads in the UK because I'm sure it's less efficiebt and more polluting.

Obviously this changes if there are dedicated cycle paths, but they are a rare thing or here in the sticks. Also there idiots on road bikes who refuse to use cycle lanes when provided. I think the highway code needs updating to stop this.

I'd also ban racing bikes from the road, if you can't cycle over a drain or a pothole then your bike isn't built for UK roads.

I'm sure I'm going to get down voted to hell and back for this post.

But doesn't the executive retain more power during a shutdown? I'm not sure it's the pill that everyone thought it was but I'm happy to have my mind changed.

I've been waiting two years now for a diagnosis. I moved house and I've not heard anything in all that time from the NHS. I lost my job to redundancy in October. Nowhere is hiring. I'm struggling to remain focused on job hunting. I've just found out I'm going to be a dad.

These articles don't help because I can't get medicated. Would love to know if something could help but nobody seems to give a shit.

I like the Oxford dictionary definition:

"The systematic dissemination of information, esp. in a biased or misleading way, in order to promote a particular cause or point of view, often a political agenda."

I'm looking at it from the UK and it doesn't state what currency the prices are in. If I try to view the basket it asks me to sign up before I can see any details about the cost of my items.

This is a non-starter for that reason.

Bloomberg still doesn't understand who pays for tariffs then. Jesus.

And it's why I won't be visiting the US any more until you deal with the orange monster and his evil henchmen. It's way too dangerous and I value not being locked up in an El Salvadorian prison camp for the rest of my natural life.
