Does anyone know how on earth you snap a bike frame like this as I've just done that

853 steel frame, 8 years old, never crashed it or even ridden it in the rain. What on earth 😭😭

Something very delightfully Oxford about someone taking the time to hand-paint a temporary Queens Lane sign when scaffolding covers the original

A fatberg the size of a blue whale has been removed from Oxford’s sewers. It took two weeks to remove the 120-tonne lump of congealed fat, oil, grease and wipes, while maintaining Oxford’s wastewater flow and guarding against high gas levels elevated by the fatberg.

On the radio this morning talking about the impact of congestion charge on the ice rink

🏒 lots of kit
⏲️ weird times of day
🗺️ travelling huge distances
📅 multiple times a week
👩‍👦 lots of juniors

Could be absolutely disastrous for clubs & rink without an exemption

Other cities may have better vistas and landmarks, or more impressive colonnades and sprawling public spaces, but few cities do better *glimpses* than Oxford.
Nobody can touch us when it comes to half-seen things that stick in the memory.

This is one of my favourite views in Oxford

As you pass under the Bridge of Sighs, the gothic spire of Essex College chapel flashes into view for a moment before being lost behind the Sheldonian again. Sublime.

2000 years ago: the Romans would let an aqueduct destroy the Gardon Valley. We need clean water, but at what cost?
