Got hit by as woman riding an electric bike on the pavement. She was ‘enjoying going fast cos I usually have my kid on the back. I was on my MTB about to join a cycle path. Result - fractured elbow. I’ve broken a few bones in my time but this one is the worst in terms of pain.
This country needs to sort out why grown adults don’t feel safe to ride bikes on the road ffs

Not too long ago it was a source of shame to cycle on the pavement once puberty struck.
Mixed-use pavements complicate matters as they legitimise the principle of mixed use as such.
Anything motorised, other than disability chairs, should require a license, number plate and be restricted to discrete lanes.

I get why it is that people don’t feel safe on the roads. As someone who cycles about 10,000 miles a year I understand. We need to make cycle travel normalised on roads with proper safety measures.
we don’t have much mixed use here so that’s not the reason she’s on the pavement

It doesn't matter whether a particular pavement is explicitly mixed use; that mixed use is generally more prevalent makes using the pavement more acceptable.

Sounds like you'd have good reason not to feel safe on the pavement, either.

Not if you’re in an area where there isn’t much/any mixed use pavement, it’s not like they are having to think whether it might be mixed use or why isn’t this mixed use cos they have little/no experience of mixed use. It’s more a case of people not riding in roads cos they don’t feel safe and therefore the unintended consequence is that no one feels safe on either the road of the pavement.

On Friday I went to Desterro's birthday party, it was so smokey my right eye quickly got irritated and my left soon followed suit. When I left around 7am both eyes were in a lot of pain with tears streaming down my face. Every day since then I've woken to red eyes gummed together with sleep, I've got some eye drops and I've been putting teabags on them so they are on the mend. Even so, today my left eye looks like this

Had some sort of internal issue this weekend. Wanked on Saturday, viciously hungover, and came blood. Then came blood again on Sunday. And couldn't stop pissing. Pissed about 30 times. Doctor said it's probably nothing to worry about, just drink lots of water. Wanked and came pure white. Now recovering fast. But my god. Coming blood. Like a Cronenberg, in the (new) flesh. Bowel cancer? Bladder cancer? I'm toast.

this was the name of an Oi! band:
Coming Blood - Such Fun ( from the 1982 compilation album Oi! Oi! That's Yer Lot! )
they had to change their name to The Blood as far as I can recall
Was it Sheila who analysed one of your poems and said you were racist?
