I learnt from Alnwick Castle poison garden in north England that catnip makes humans grouchy, and historically was used by executioners to feel less bad about executing people. No idea how true that is but it makes an interesting thought!

It's Feedback in the way that microphone feedback is - really bloody loud and painful, and makes you know you've done something wrong

Bingpot! I think it was the glass on the left with the blue lines on it that did it for me, that's by the Bakerloo/Jubilee escalators isn't it?

There's nothing stopping you still! I find the ritual of placing the disc and needle and turning it over halfway through is quite satisfying. It really makes me feel as though the music is more valuable and I'll be more likely to actively listen rather than if I just put it on my phone with the tap of a button

I'm not ignoring anything. I'm saying that on top of needing improved infrastructure and road laws, more cyclists need to be aware of the fact that they're pretty much a floppy bag of skin and bones which is no match for a metal box going 20-50mph.

Absolutely baffling that you're being downvoted. Anyone using the road needs plenty of ways that other road-users can see them easily. Cars and motorcycles have lights and reflectors, bicycles need them too!
