Currently on holiday in Austria with @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social so far, tyre sidewall has burst, rear cassette went wobbly and my TPU inner tube exploded going down a hill and melted into the rim tape. Not so good for a £5000 bike... But I still love my Brompton and the adventures we have!

Why is anyone driving half a mile then complaining houses are being built?

Why is Picadilly station do devoid of any bins? Even Euston in London has bins. I'm sure the rest of the stations in Manchester do...

They even removed those little clear crappy ones outside recently... 😟

I found a single cycle lane in Porto. Of course the cycles were moving quicker than the static cars...

Chance to back the next journey (book) by @carltonreid.com. The last kickstarter he ran had hundreds of updates and ended up with funding for a whole bunch of new cycle lanes and a brilliant book to boot! www.kickstarter.com/projects/car...

@carltonreid.com I notice your ks finally online:

Without the usual 'tiers', I do feel this helps people commit amounts and sets expectations about what you are delivering ( ie a digital copy / simply supporting it etc ).

Is this something you will add in?

When I travel, I usually stay in different hotels every night for weeks. So a 3 week break I need about 20 different "check-ins" if I visit Spain?

Think I have properly committed to Bsky now!

Twitter (x) is just a bit too much! Followed a bunch of people and hopefully we can rebuild our lovely community here without as much hate/ spam, misinformation and bots. In particular without the ruinous nonsense of Elon. 🥳
