Cycling, walking, hiking, craft ales. In that order.. For now!
Ex "Pro" BMX racer.
Love the countryside & exploring.

A tough winter with hand surgery on NYE leading to most of my riding being done indoors, the time has come to get back in the Derbyshire hills and gain some strength back.
Those hills were a shock to the system 😂😂

Last #doddieaid ride of the New Year with Sir Chris Hoy.
It was a tough one on Muckle Yin route at his pace! 🥵

Made something to look forward to every weekend of the toughest month of the year. 👌

C'mon January.
Hurry up and f**k off.

Feels like lockdown all over again.

Well, that's the pins out.
NYE surgery to pin a dislocated 4th metacarpal.
How's everyone else's January been? 🤣

Can't wait to get back to "normal" and put some miles in on the bike.
Still gonna be @gozwift.bsky.social for a while but hopefully pulling on the bars instead of resting.. 🚵

#12angrymen (1957) on the TV

Forgot how much this film made such an impression on me when I was younger.

Probably my most favourite.
Made me and my son, when he was a little kid, howl with laughter.
Stunning film. 💕
Whenever asked what his favorite film was Stan Laurel would never give a definitive answer however Busy Bodies (1933) was always on his short list. #laurelandhardy

Great ride on @gozwift.bsky.social this morning with Sir Chris Hoy.
Worth the price of a cafe stop drink for charity. 👌

Searching "Twitter" news about the young lad stabbed in Ilkeston..

Usual idiotic comments from the loonies & "news" pages.
No wonder I don't bother with that place much any more.

Ilkeston - "South East of Manchester" WTF?
Manchester is two hours away.
Twitter needs erasing.

RIP Noah

I'm still confused as to why anyone but residents are even allowed private cars in cities. ANY city.

Why even bother?
In 2022, the average speed of a car in central London was around 9 miles per hour. In 1908, the average speed of a horse-drawn carriage was around 10 miles per hour.

Another two days off work feeling fun down..
I'm definitely forswunk.
Word of the day is ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted by work.

I like to add ‘foreswunk’, exhausted before you even begin.

On an AA flight that landed at JFK waiting for a gate. Two littles were crying because of their ear pain on landing. After a couple minutes the flight attendant started singing *Twinkle Twinkle little star’, the entire plane joined in, the kids stopped crying, and this is the world I wanna live in.

IMPORTANT: Paris has been implementing a 5-Year Pedestrian Plan:
- 300 million € invested by 2026
- 100 new hectares of pedestrian space
- 100 more “streets for kids”
- Focus on 0 pedestrian deaths #VisionZero
- Longer pedestrian cross times geared to seniors

Leadership.

Does your city have one?
