UK highways departments have had essentially zero budget for 2+ decades now. There's no funding to completely retrofit every single residential street to match the new signage. Most of them are already incredibly narrow and tight compared to your average North American street.

I signed up for this month's ago and I'm still not in. Every time I log into the app to check my waitlist, I'm some random number in the 3000s, and not always lower than last time. Why is this do you know?

The rider didn't brake a single UK traffic law

In the UK filtering between lanes is both legal, encouraged, and widely accepted on both motor bikes and bicycles

Lots of Americans in this thread. This sort of riding is legal and encouraged in the UK and can be done quite safely. Cycling groups put out videos showing these techniques: https://youtu.be/VNr762i9oQU

Obviously it's a fairly seasoned cyclist thing, and more and more cycle infrastructure is being rolled out so people don't have to do this, but I do object to people from North America in this thread applying their laws and cultural norms to another country where this is quite normal

Filtering is legal and encouraged in the UK. There are cycling UK videos showing this technique as best practice. Please don't bring your US centric views to a UK video if you don't understand our laws

Really wish there was more content. I've been trying to post stuff but I never get any comments either. Anything other than the few mainstream communities is just dead

More video is uploaded every minute than anyone can ever watch in a lifetime. It costs money to store and serve all that.

I'm subscribed to quite a few communities now but my subscribed feed is still pretty barren. Whether I sort by hot or active I'm seeing the same few posts a lot of the time, often with very few upvotes or comments. I also see months old posts popping up again and again. There is a post on one community with -39 score from 8 months ago that I see every time I open the app. And one from 3 years ago with one comment from months ago.

All feed isn't much better for me either.

I mean most consumers don't care about those 🤷‍♀️

Lawns in the UK are nothing like lawns in the US. I never water it or use weedkiller and it stays green all year. It has buttercups and clover growing among it. I only mow it infrequently when it gets very long.
