Outside peak hours they are allowed on the sub-surface lines (Circle etc) as those have larger trains and simpler emergency evacuation.
It's still not something you'd want to do very often. I think I did it once with a new bicycle that I'd bought from the other side of London, where the route home would have been long and completely new to me.
Yes the City of London is also referred to as "the square mile" - a self explanatory title.
Also worth noting they broke up all other forms of transport i.e cars, buses, vans, etc. So it's more like cyclists make up 25% of road traffic against powered vehicles in a very small area of London, at particular times of day.
I do 40+ miles a day on road across London and would be really surprised if these figures hold up in general.
Whilst simultaneously realising the absurdity of the topic, I feel compelled to say how much easier the second style is to use - a thought I've oddly had more than once.
I like to cook with my child, they were able to peel carrots at age three using one, albeit with me holding the carrot!
Trial and error in my case, cars need regular maintenance so plenty of opportunities to shop around. I've been to the main dealer, chain type garages and independents. A couple of the smaller indies get my custom all the time now.
Simple things like going for a replacement tyre and being given a choice of price ranges and an explanation of each option, then watching them do the change and hand torque to the correct spec.
Or an air con regas at £50 at a small garage vs £120 at the main dealer.
Most recently I had the discs changed, was able to order the parts myself and drop them off for fitting at the cost of labour only. That'd never be an option at a main dealer or chain type garage but is pretty common for smaller outfits apparently.
Snapped up by collectors if they are desirable enough, check out the going rate for pre 1960s hand planes or vintage Snap On socket sets in obsolete sizes!
I've seen AMP pages really fail for retail sites. I followed this link yesterday and ended up on an AMP page with no way to purchase the item or continue on within the site. No idea if that's the site's fault or Google's but it must be costing them customers.
Right or wrong, I find it fascinating to watch language evolve like this and it's really apparent most in internet comments. I see so many sentences starting with "I mean" over the last couple of years where I can't remember it being commonplace before.
"For sure" is another sentence starter I've noticed, then there are terms like "on trend" which now seems to mean fashionable or popular.
I'd love to do a ngram analysis of this phenomena (?), or maybe just something simple with elastic search on Reddit comments where you can see how the use of search terms grows and evolves.
People can use locked down hardware and be at the mercy of the manufacturers and support services.
There's a lot more money in that than everyone fixing their own shit.
Same way people who know nothing about how democracy and their country works can still vote. For some reason, they often want more authoritarianism, go figure.
And those replies of "why not know everything hehe" always lead to dismissing the whole argument.
Cold spots in a heated house and a lack of airflow seem to cause mold. The temperature difference causing condensation, excess moisture with nowhere to go and then mold.
Interesting whether this would happen in an entirely unheated building.
I suppose it depends if there is some types of poorly placed barriers. In structures that can breath readily and in climates where they can dry it is less of an issue. On other hand those also need to in general be protected from water in structures.
A lot of that is due to structures not having a proper vapor barrier, therefor allowing vapor exchange from the outside world which decreases in-wall condensation.
