Sorry what? Quite the montage...

"Pedestrians? Nah never heard of them mate..."
We've been here before unfortunately...
In November, a Dublin bus company confirmed that a “full investigation” is being carried out after one of its employees was filmed driving a double-decker bus on both the cycle lane and footpath in order to undertake a queue of traffic.

Oh, and then there was that time the irony police were called...
Trafford Council hopes to get more people "walking, wheeling and cycling" and has launched a consultation with residents, businesses and visitors until 12 February.
Ultimatly the goal is, the council says, to get 90 per cent of journeys under one mile to be taken by foot, bike or scooter and 80 per cent of journeys under five miles within the next 10 years to be active travel or public transport.
"We love Trafford and we want to encourage as many people as possible to leave their cars at home and to walk, cycle and scooter across our borough. This would not only improve our air quality but would be a massive boost to our physical and mental health as well," Cllr Aidan Williams said.

Close call for @PaulMcCartney on the Abbey Road crossing!
In this clip from @MaryAMcCartney’s new documentary, a car narrowly misses Paul as he recreates the ‘Abbey Road’ album cover. #IfTheseWallsCouldSing is now streaming worldwide on @DisneyPlus | https://t.co/6v6YyJjJjbpic.twitter.com/qUsfi2AzOW

Devon and Cornwall Police said a surge in dashcam and helmet camera footage sent to them has resulted in 2022 being a record year for submissions. The force said there were 4,736 submissions last year, up 151 per cent on 2021.

The force told the BBC it had taken action against 3,400 motorists in 2022, also a record, and a 135 per cent increase on 2021. Force road safety lead Supt Adrian Leisk said he was "incredibly grateful" for public support to reduce road harm.
Not even G's managed this one yet...
Turns out the axle on the back wheel wasn't quite as compatible with the trainer as we first thought. Regardless, made for a great clip...
Anyone want to make Jack feel better and admit to falling foul of this trap too?
First it was the Surrey residents, then the Wolverhampton Commonwealth Games objectors, now the NIMBY torch has been passed to Essex...

Fortunately for you and everyone you might bump into while wearing this, it's sold out (but there is a mailing list if you want urgent updates next time it's back in stock)...
Quel drame... two of France's biggest racing names have been involved in a groupchat scandal (how very 2023).
Gaudu this morning apologised to Arnaud Démare after screenshots of his less than complimentary thoughts about his teammate were leaked from Discord...
David Gaudu’s leaked comments about teammate Arnaud Démare on Discord. Not complimentary… https://t.co/NHZ3T8dIlU

From what we can tell, assisted by a certain online translation generator, Gaudu wrote about not wanting his team's fastest sprinter on their Tour de France team... "The fact that we don't talk and don't race together much is an advantage. If he wants, I can say it to his face again. I'm not afraid of him. He knows I don't want him in the Tour. I already told him"...
Yeah, maybe best not to stick that in a groupchat with loads of people on the internet, David...
Come this morning, Gaudu's line had changed... "Problems that can occur in a team must remain internal. I would therefore like to apologise to the team and Arnaud. I should never have vented these statements in public. My apologies to the team and Arnaud."

Hmmm as I look out my window at the grey, damp nothingness of 4°C I feel like I've got a decent answer to that question, Toms...
Oh look, it's Wiggo...

Any Zwifters got a similar tale to live blog favourite Harry?
Got kicked out of two zwift races because my heart rate wasn't going above 90bpm and it turns out I've connected to my neighbours whoop by accident
