Fake news

I cycle down there a lot. Never had an issue. It’s not a road that needs or even benefits from a cycle lane. Also, top tip for cyclists who want to avoid traffic on that road: go down the police station road, through the car park behind the grandstand, and through nobles park. If we need a cycle lane for commuters getting into town, that’s where it should go.

Gravity catches a lot of people by surprise.

Does anyone know if this applies to cyclists?

I haven’t got a dog.

Hopefully they’ll replace it with a statue of a woman whacking a nazi in the head with a handbag. Like this one. ‘

Don’t think that applies in this case as he was physically well under control, but I think most of the police shootings can be attributed to fear first and foremost. The amount of guns in that country makes every encounter scary. Police must live in constant fear. They have their guns ready for every day routine stuff. The fact that it happens disproportionately to black people shows another problem.

I’m not telling you.

I used to be amazed at the constant talk of race in the us media. Every news report used to mention the race of the criminal, victim, politician etc. I used to think it was needless and making the problems worse. But I’ve been going there every year for a few years now, and have come to realise that it’s basically still a segregated society. Unofficial apartheid.

A guy I follow on Strava spent a couple of weeks in Europe at the end of May. First thing he did when he got back to the iom on 3rd June was go for a run along the prom. It’s ok though cos he’s got one of those essential jobs so he can’t spread viruses.
