Granted there is some terrible riding, but that desperation is the fault of the food apps, not the riders. It'd be far easier structurally to crack down on UE/Deliveroo. And it's hardly like cars are known for sticking to the streets. This was round the corner from me last week
Omg this bit in particular 🤔 I grew up near here and know that bit of road well, i wouldn't live in those houses for £1m a year lol Wouldn't it be nice if this country actually funded rail enough that the motorways were used a bit *less*
