My single speed was a “bit worn out” squared tyre, worn chain, bottom bracket, chain ring, sprocket and brakes all knackered 🫣 winter hack commuting…LBS put a smaller front ring on, as I mostly ride this to commute now doubt i will ever time trial it again and want to be able to pull away easier.

These photos are of an article about my collecting that appeared in print 21 years ago 🫣

I wonder if this is what “powers” the gizmo i bought for my dad’s trainset? 🤭

We cycled to cafe on edge of town on an e-bike and a Brompton.

Found it happens less frequently once we added a larger Pass Pixi sign

Judgemental smart watch 🙄 i am doing stop start sprint riding in heavy traffic, in work clothes and rucksack straight after a days manual labour 🤣

First run in ages, i do usually stop early spring and restart midsummer, but have been less active overall lately due to an ear disease. Still, reasonable base fitness to build upon, seeing as i cycled 14 total miles to work and back earlier and did 6k steps too.

Sulking as I wouldn’t let him sleep on my bed.

My town, just past a zebra crossing opposite shops

Cycle commute on my Brompton was no slower than my motorcycle, just a different route.

My wife’s friend painted our dog.

First longer cycle ride for a while, just over 28 miles with CyclingUK local club branch.

Three years ago when I was still time trialing in the evenings.

Back running after illness waiting for an ENT referral 😬 constant ear infections causing absolute agony, then too dosed up on codeine, antibiotics etc. to run 🥶😱 Not “serious” but a total PITA, took it easy to avoid pulling a muscle, hopefully build up to a HM in September, ear permitting.

My allotment, day 1 six years ago and today.

I wish councils would stop normalising pavement parking, it encourages it.

Bedford’s cycling infrastructure “ Opened by His Worship the Mayor, Councillor V. Strowry December 1984” demolished as unsafe 2026. But the posho’s needed a new lock gate for boats, bailey bridge carrying hgv’s put up in 24hrs

Daily Mail once wrote a headline “Beware the Green Menace” 🤭

Ah, i recognise them,

Cycling in Eskdale in the lake district do be like…

At my allotment today, never has rhubarb bolted so early in the year 🤯 good harvest off of it though
