    Don't know anything about the mayor but what he said seems reasonable to me. As a cyclist myself I have no problem merging into traffic if my lane is blocked, my experience though …

    This is true, I mean I should be in bed right now, I'll be up in 5 hours. But what am I doing? Watching Jessica Jones and writing this message, I'm definitely going to regret it in…

    I don't have anything against Facebook I just have no use for it. I have no use for any social media platform. They are a waste of my time.

    Thanks for this. I've been looking for something like this for ages. I used to use VM's for this but it was a right pain. As an aside I used this guide having discovered it a coupl…

    The police by the very definition of their job don't go around "tracking" regular folk. Only those that are doing or have done wrong. Seriously the police have better things to do …
