Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Have they tried actually doing anything about it?

The extent of cycle infrastructure in this country is limited exclusively to painting a white line on the side of an already existing road. Whenever it gets complicated just give up and start again on the other side of the junction, hopefully the cyclists figure it out for themselves. And of course everyone knows that potholes only improve the cycling experience so no need to worry about them.

Or the opposite! They put bike lanes in that just exist to avoid roundabouts..... That lose you the right of way!

Useless things. Some are just long enough to give you hope before they spit you back onto the road with no warning.
