The City of London has twice as many cyclists as motorists. That’s astounding.

Edit: Updated to make it clear this is just for the City of London and not London as a whole. Still impressive, but quite a big difference in size!

Pedals over petrol: Cycling now dominates peak-hour traffic in the City of London

There are now nearly twice as many cyclists in the City of London as there are private cars, showing the continuing rise of the cyclist on London's streets.

Round and round and round and round ending up on dead links
@neil And that’ll be 77 when the Isle of Wight gets its independence!

Invite me to a video call, fine.

Make it want me to install an app or not work at all from my desktop.

Well, no, sorry @openrightsgroup

Shame, as I suspect I could have contributed.

This is a great post by one of the #Fosstodon admins. Disregard it being about Fosstodon (!) - it highlights something that I feel is critically important for our decentralized times:

*** When you host things _for others_ you are taking on a _job_ - with responsibilities - for the foreseeable future ***

Do not do this if you don't fully understand and accept the implications. Many of us are quite technical and can easily stand up various services - but that's not the same thing as saying that we _should_!

My first service that I hosted for others was a Fidonet node. It took me close to 30 years to realize that i shouldn't, outside of the immediate family.

We need more _small_ Mastodon (Fediverse) instances. Many more. Tens of thousands.
