We can usually hear bikes on a Sunday roaring down the dip below where we live, along the A487 coast road, but I can't say it's busy with bikes around here, maybe they don't make it west of the West End/ Owls nest? Take it easy everybody...

That's one of the emptiest articles I've ever read. "Fear of", "one resident" etc. The BBC really has hit rock bottom.

An article with nothing to report yet with an agenda to advance, seemingly.

As sad as it is, those are still tiny numbers.

The local papers 'reporting' now seems to consist of someone sat in the office scouring twitter, BBC going the same way by the look of it.

Literally no news in there.

Infact by the end of it I'm not even sure what I'm meant to be outraged at

Noisy bikes?

Cars at junctions?

Google maps?

Fast bikes?

Weekend bikes?

Commuters on bikes?

New bikers?

Old bikers?

The Army?

Road design?

Ms Denny I think.
the majority of road users were well behaved, going to the shops could mean driving head on into lorries, motorbikes and cars.

And while Gwent Police recorded the smallest number of accidents, it saw the biggest increase in collisions, from 632 to 715 - 32%.


That article is literal AIDS. I can't work out why an accident isn't a collision for starters and then you get to the maths of it. How is 632 to 715 a 32% increase? That would surely be 824?

Seriously.
