I don't post many videos now, but make no mistake, driving standards are appalling. Two lanes here, the first bus driver decides he is moving to mine without indication or checking if I am there or not.

My bottom bracket has laid some eggs, this is surely an excellent sign...

My favourite day of the year.

Happy new bike day everyone!

I don't do a lot of work on my turbo bike, so was intrigued to see I had accidentally manufactured some ninja throwing stars.

Just been out with my son and his friends. We have been repeatedly abused, sworn at and threatened. How can this be acceptable to society?

Oh did I mention we were on bikes?

It is finally here for you all! Meet my family and...er... adopted sister!

Social media is making it easier to keep track of your parents these days. Facebook, Disney+ and the main BBC new page for example...10 days till launch! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is a common 40mph road marking. It can be a handy guide for close passing calibration. They can be different sizes but this is a fairly standard 1200mm design on a 3500mm wide lane. On the first image each bar is the same length.

Another one for @magnatom.bsky.social. Familiar with the staff members who park dangerously, blocking the crossing, throw open their doors and then refuse to apologies because apparently I didn't "check my mirrors" as they overtook me in a 10mph zone. Prevention is surely better than cure.

Wish I had spotted this earlier. The one I used just kept shouting "hurry up!"

At hospital, ready for the operation, nearly doored by a member of staff parking illegally at a zebra crossing.

Prevention, cure, spring to mind.

In for long awaited surgery tomorrow morning! Arriving in style

The brakes on modern cars are awful...

First commute on the new stead going well. (Old tyres and wheels, just a big chunk taken out of them)

Remember in the months ending in Y, hi-viz will actually just make you invisible.

New blue bike for my new bluesky account!

(Hmmm, what other accounts should I start?)

After a driver destroyed my nearest EV charge point, my closest is now 6km away - which is fine - however arriving there to charge and finding someone has parked across both bays and not plugged in is quite frustrating. Entitled=drivers not cyclists.

Top tip: cycle to your pre-op checks. With my cleats I am now officially 6 foot 1.
