“Voi” eBike pavement hazard


So, the eBike that’s been lying on the pavement like that for at least three days in quite a hazardous way for certain people… I took it upon myself to move it aside today. Photos before and after. (Ed.)
Tuesday’s ebikes – Greenford Road



Now imagine you are visually impaired or even just make a misstep, perhaps in the dark. “Be a good citizen and lift them up and move them”? Have you ever tried to lift one of those things? They’re very heavy. And dirty, of course, as you can imagine in this foul weather of late. (Ed.)
Kid’s Songs and Games, Belfast 1971
Lots of wonderful songs and games from the streets of Belfast 1971. Absolutely superb. Do these songs and games still exist? How much poorer we are now, if all the children have are phone screens with artificial rubbish.
Happy New eBikes (?)

Crowded eBikes blocking footpath – Greenford Road

This crowd of “Voi” and “OnLime + Uber” ebikes completely blocked the footway for pedestrians today, forcing them into a bike lane. A bike lane! They are dumped near an official parking place for them but there are too many to fit in that space.

Update: It’s no better today.

The Blue of You by Amanda Huggins

What happens when you go back to your hometown after many years away and find that everything you thought you knew about people has gone adrift and all you feared, everyone you loved, and the town itself is different but only to you. You had it all wrong. And there is newness in the old place, new people and new decisions to be made.
A book about love and loss, exile and return. You may recognise some of the chapters from stories first published right here in Stories of the Month. It’s a page turner from Amanda Huggins.
Buy from Waterstones or direct from Northodox Press or all online booksellers.
