Removing barriers to cycling for people of all ages. Happy to help. Not all Green Cross course men wear a cape, some have a HiViz tabard instead. First 2 little pensions now kicked in. Still working full-time though.

Check out my latest bike ride: 80 miles around weird names places in the #Yorkshire #wolds www.komoot.com/tour/3182277...

Today I got over 51 miles out of my #Ribble #ebike still with 30% battery left at the end. Lovely road and no need for the range extender.

Dear #GWR How is this supposed to work? Booked bike space but uncooked sausages space was there already. #cycling #commuting #plymouth #devon #2ndclasscycling

As a guy in a country with a king, I understand how much better it would be if we didn't have one. Nice to know how easy it is to find your nearest protest at www.nokings.org #NoKings #Protest

I do like a bike ride you can't do by car. For this one, I included a passenger only ferry and lots of single track roads.

Motonormativity Motonormativity is an unconscious cognitive bias in which the assumption is made that motor car ownership and use is an unremarkable social norm.

Don't ever say that voting for someone doesn't make a difference. All those in the #USA who voted for #Trump have proved how powerful #votes are. They put into power a #felon with a #mafia style of governing. And if the #DeepState did exist, it'd have tackled him to the ground and sat on him.

This was supposed to be shorter but I went on a longer way back when the battery on my phone sank to 0%

Anyone here is too young to remember why #GWR trains had these things? They are still between seats. #21stCenturyRelics #ScreensonTrains #RedundantTech

With the #roadworks in Northern #Plymouth at the moment this #commute I did on my #Bike would have taken over half an hour.

However, a study found that loose coins in a jar leave around 40% empty space. So in reality, Elon’s fortune as a pile of coins would take up about 640,000 cubic metres—roughly the size of a 100-metre-wide, 60-metre-tall cone of pure money. #BecauseHe'sNotWorthIt #WealthTax #UniversalBasicIncome

Andy Smith@avetchling· Feb 17

If #ElonMusk converted his entire fortune into British £1 coins, the pile would weigh approximately 2,744,493 tonnes. Melted down, that’s a 455,498 cubic metre block—77 metres on each side. #CheckMyMaths
