"Must get in front of cyclist, no matter what!": Reddit enjoys rider's footage of this incredibly pointless overtake; A "slap in the face" and not what was promised? Cycling community reacts to Budget + more on the live blog

Green Oil has suffered as a result of i-Ride, a major UK cycling distributor, entering administration.

The brand told us it was still "owed thousands of pounds", a "huge hit for a small operation", bad timing as it has just launched its Green Oil Wet Chain Lube in Prevented Ocean Plastics and the world's longest bike-cleaning brush... in the words of David Brent... "You're still thinking about the bad news, aren't you?" 

Made entirely from sustainably sourced wood, the aptly named Green Oil Massive-Brush takes the crown as the world's longest production bike cleaning brush and has been designed to last over a decade, Green Oil tells us. Its aim is to be better than five cheap brushes and combines a claw brush, spoke brush, frame brush, tyre brush and drive chain brush in one. A Basil short of a full house.

It's priced at £47.99 for the Massive-Brush 1.0 and £52.99 for the Massive-Brush SLR.

"Cheap brushes out there look like good value," Green Oil says. "Five in a pack. Made of plastic. £25- £35. But why not have one decent brush for the whole bike? Should we support British Manufacturing and sustainable forestry? Yes. Should we use everything made of plastic and leave bits of plastic bristle in the environment? Hell no. The Massive-Brush is Plastic Free, it has over 5 different uses, and it's designed to last over 10 years."

So, how has the Budget gone down in the cycling world? The response has been... mixed. Cycling UK gave credit to Labour for "recouping additional £100 million funding for cycling and walking infrastructure", but others have questioned if this goes far enough?

Critics of the new Labour budget, including Green Party co-leader Carla Denyer, have expressed frustration at the discounted fuel duty, with some describing the funding allocated to cycling as a "drop in the ocean".

Transport journalist Carlton Reid said it is not the "unprecedented level of funding" in cycling that Transport Secretary Louise Haigh promised was coming after the election victory. "Meanwhile, motorists get yet another fuel duty freeze. Climate change anyone?" Reid asked.

One reply to Carlton's post on social media called it "staggering" that Boris Johnson "is still the first AND last Prime Minister to do anything for cycling". Another said yesterday's Budget had "absolutely shafted active travel".

Harry Gray from Walk Ride Greater Manchester called the £100m "a slap in the face".

"A single junction can cost £1.6bn - we are talking about change in the bottom of the pocket being spent on walking and cycling," he wrote. "Gear Change under Boris Johnson had us up at £300m a year. As a side note, I've heard word on the grapevine that the £500m pothole funds will be available for local gov to spend on active travel too. Also, we are not clear if Greater Manchester and West Midlands are included in the £100m because of devolution.

"Alongside the freeze on fuel duty, this isn't the ambitious budget we were expecting."

London's Walking & Cycling Commissioner Will Norman said the £100m was "great to see", although Donnachadh McCarthy, the founder of Stop Killing Cyclists and director at Climate Media Coalition, replied saying he was surprised to see Norman's assessment and suggesting it was "better to stay quiet".

"Another £5.7b giveaway to car sector," he wrote. "£0.1b 'extra' for cycling is the same old breadcrumbs that will NOT build a national cycle network needed for health, kids safety, climate & pollution reduction."
