Watch this @CambsCops and be ashamed of yourselves.
#WATCH | This dodgy driver is the latest of 1400+ we've prosecuted thanks to video supplied by members of the public. And today we've launched a Reporting Portal to make it even easier to send in dash-cam footage. Head to our website to find out more: goo.gl/c19brP

Replying to @CambsCops
Single file makes no difference. The cyclist should be central in the carriageway on narrow roads. Riding as a peloton is a more efficient and safer use of the road.

The Moat area is looking fabulous right now. With so few trees around here it's very popular with kids and dogs for exploring and play. Thanks @ our parish council.

The Guided Busway maintenance track/bridleway isn't holding many back. Looked about 12 maybe 18 inches deep here.

You’ll soon be seeing signs like these as you drive around the county – do you give cyclists enough room? #TooCloseforComfort

I've experienced prejudice first hand in the New Forest. I was riding near walking pace on a bridleway and was threatened with reports to the Verderers by a walker. nitter.gq/forestcyclist/status/9…

Not sure why I had to justify our lovely street pockets to a motorist who said they were blocking the street, while he actually blocked the street with his massive ugly delivery van polluting our community

This is a serious moment for the web’s future. But I want us to remain hopeful. The problems we see today are bugs in the system. Bugs can cause damage, but bugs are created by people, and can be fixed by people. 1/9
