What the bloggers don’t want you to know - the best way to reduce cycling casualties is to stop people from cycling in the first place. #facts #silenced #bloggers cycleandwalkhackney.blogspot.com/2021/05/there-…

Shockingly, Vincent has gone over to the dark side. Don’t listen to him - cycle lanes are never appropriate, anywhere. Go Hockney - don’t Go Dutch. #bloggers #facts

The bloggers and cycle-centrics claim that nothing bad ever happens in the Netherlands. That’s definitely an argument they make. Well done Vincent shooting that myth down. #facts #bloggers

What the bloggers won’t tell you is that bike lanes cause pollution. Listen to the experts like Dave Hill.

The bloggers and cycle fanatics parrot their simplistic mantra “build it and they will come”, without ever stopping to consider the better alternative - “don’t build it and they won’t come” #bloggers


What the bloggers won’t tell you is that bicycles do not have the capacity to clean air!

Correct. Turning a six lane road back into a bike lane is just as daft as building a six lane road for cars in the first place. And of course the bloggers have absolutely no answer to these incredible arguments #bloggers

The most important consideration during a public health emergency? Aesthetics. That’s another thing the bloggers won’t tell you. #Bloggers

Evidence from Hockney is that narrow cycle lanes are best for cycling. Specifically, 0m wide. #JustWideEnough

What the bloggers can’t explain is why a handful of isolated bits of cycle lane in the middle of a cycling-hostile city haven’t got loads of kids and OAPs cycling on them. Keep asking difficult questions Dave. #Bloggers

Don't think anyone denies that safety fears are largest barrier to people switching to cycling. So why aren't many more Londoners & a wider variety of them using routes specifically designed to provide more safety than were doing so before? That's the question.



What the bloggers won’t tell you is that all the cycle lanes in the Netherlands were built to curb cycling, not facilitate it! Listen to the experts like Dave #Facts

Oh wait. They were doing it *before* segregated lanes were built (and built in order to curb cycling, not to facilitate it): theguardian.com/uk-news/davehi…



Every time Dave Hill makes sensible arguments like “you won’t get more people cycling by building bike lanes”, hundred of cycling activists disagree with him. Proving that they can’t handle the truth! #DaveHill #Bloggers


As my good friend and cycling expert Dave Hill astutely observes, the best way to widen the cycling demographic involves not building any bike lanes at all. But the bloggers won’t tell you that! #bloggers #cyclefanatics


What the bloggers won’t tell you - “Going Dutch” is actually deadly! #Statistics #HowToUseStatistics

What the bloggers won’t tell you is that people drive cars in the Netherlands. #facts #bloggers #FactsBloggersWontTellYou


Just spoke to a 90 year old lady. She tells me she’s terrified of cycling on the segregated Superhighways and refuses to use them, going the long way round to share the roads with buses as much as possible. #Facts #GenuinePerson #BloggersDontLikeFacts


What the bloggers won’t tell you - the Dutch drive so much because of all the cycle-centrism. #Bloggers
