| 1623369505756876810 | @Michell33102694 @NFBUK @Georgia_Gould @SebDance @MayorofLondon @londoncouncils Not at all but the hate towards the bikes is usually aimed at removing the bikes. Fewer bikes mean more car journeys and cars are a far greater risk to all people, blind or otherwise, than bicycles. I'm against people littering up the pavement carelessly with any obstruction. | 17 |
