So... yesterdays ride, 20km in zone 4, 30km in zone 2, and I feel like it was a rest day.
Holy shit, a bike that actually fits comfortably makes higher volume so much easier.
I definitely should have grabbed some clips from the side. Tomorrow's ride, if I remember

Our lovely Siamese x Bengal boy likes to spray in the house. A lot. He’s gorgeous but I hate our house smelling of cat piss
My husband asked Chat GPT to be an animal psychologist and told it all about our cats issues
We were told to shut away anything 1/

Went for a reflexology session in someone’s house today
She has a female cat called Gary. Hard to express how much I love this
Having someone play with your feet for an hour also rocks

If you live around Delaware and that Giant or Trek you got sold just doesn't feel right, pop over the river and hit up Halter's Cycles in New Jersey, they do proper bike fits!
Tough times for bike shops in the US right now.
Here's an impassioned plea from the owner of one of the best stores in the tri-state area, if not the USA...

What do people think we do in WCs? We go behind a closed door and use the loo in private
I expect we’ll see less shared space changing rooms in the future. But 99% have the option of a private cubical
1 pool near me has done away with male/female changing rooms, just cubicles. Works for everyone

On today's World Day of Remembrance for Road Victims it is worth noting that in the two years since Wales implemented a national default 20mph (32km/h) there have been 25% fewer casualties on such roads with over 1,000 fewer people killed or injured. youtu.be/efr3uVKpOwY

Wow! Free bikes trial schemes in 3 areas showed a 12x returning investment.
Reduced expected cases of disease by 16% and deaths by 6%.
What a win. We should be rolling these schemes to all deprived neighbourhoods.
