  • Good news for cyclists (Brexit related)

    From Spike@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 14 08:09:24 2023
    Car exports from the EU to the UK have nearly halved in number since
    Brexit, falling by €10bn (£8.6bn) in value.

    This means that fewer Audi and BMW wankpanzers
    are on the streets - surely good news for cyclists as these two makes
    between them account for 120% of cyclist road deaths.

    A cloud on the horizon is that Germany is keen for talks with the UK to
    begin, to discuss easing trade between the two countries and also between
    the UK and the EU.

    German and British industry has complained about extra red tape - not just
    for goods exports but also for worker travel.
