Did anyone find one? I might have one in a suitcase of oily obsolete tools in the garage.

Yes it is and I would guess that is now why anyone will have one 🍺
Nope, but is the other end a bottle opener for, I assume, mid-race refreshments?

Anybody out there have a Helicomatic lock ring tool ? Needed so the rear wheel from my 1984 race bike can be respoked by maestro Pete Matthews 🙏

Make sure to complain to the BBC on this one. Here's what I put down
This is not how I view SM at all, but it's how SM presents itself as a charity and how BBC editors will see it

Complaint to the BBC Peggie case reporting and here's the reply. Referring to trans people as "biological ---- who identify as---". Ignored the identify slur but using biological is ok as it simplifies things. For clarity from now on chromosomes will define everyone b/c bigots feelings matter

This has to be from the 1980s as the red car is a Citroen BX which first appeared in 1982. The 'Princess' undergoing a bit of work is actually a 1st generation Honda Accord.
The chairs are correct for the period with their burnt orange velour 😅

Fabulous piece of writing explaining why AI might be a possible choice when you purchase a WiFi connected fridge but it can feck right off for creative thought and interpretation.
Quite curious what other people think about AI when it comes to writing - particularly cycling journalism.
Do you care if AI is used to write a race report?
I do. I care a lot.

I’m leaning towards using the following description of terfs and those infected by gender critical ideology. “Observed to be cis at birth and now identifies as a bigot”

here's the link for the BBC complaints, using 'biological male who identifies as a female' in their story shows bias and that they do not consider Dr Upton to be a woman.

How unconscious bias works. The Guardian demonstrates it with their headline on trans exclusion and adds a sprinkle of racism too. Presumably the tallest child is meant to be the example of transness and not being white makes the 'othering' more obvious.

Folded. The party claiming human rights are amongst their core principles giving way on those basic values is disgraceful.Grow a spine, it’s your party, your rules. As for demographic quotas, instead of the pick n’mix goals try seeing people for their worth rather than what box they tick.
We are disappointed that, due to legal pressure from transphobic campaign groups following the For Woman Scotland decision, two eminently reasonable quotas in our party's election regulations have been suspended. These suspensions are profoundly anti-queer, anti-trans and anti-feminist...

For Trump’s MAGA Olympics what you will need to express your thoughts and values is an appropriate person on the merchandise. Sporty, tall, preferably blonde and female. Cycling has had its woke moment in Rwanda now the time has come to go back to business.

Before driving home from the Braveheart bike ride & dinner I was bribed by STV with authentic Scottish Empire biscuits. Guaranteed to contain 110% sugar. What’s that saying ? You can take the Glaswegian out of Glasgow but 🤔😂

This used to be on my walk home from school. Through the tunnels , turn left and it was 200m to the chip shop on the corner where the bus fare I didn't use would probably be spent. Shawlands was almost posh. 🙃

When I began transition at the start of the 2000s the NHS wait was 2 yrs for 1st appointment. Already they tried to limit private care options. Many med professionals have been forced to retire/ stop care by NHS gender bosses. The current GIC system is broken & private care effectively outlawed
Amazing piece by @echomikeromeo.bsky.social:
"if we want to tell stories about the past that not only make historiographical contributions but also help people get healthcare [etc] we must start by ensuring that we are in community ourselves and are responsive to community pressures and needs".

It takes a special kind of person to go to the African continent and show support for someone who was OK with racist and slavery views. The Rwandian children watching is so ironic.

Good and I apologise for not fully reading the whole thread. A ban or exclusion without any evidence is direct discrimination. Sports bans have been the easiest sell to the ‘what if’ crowd . They cling to victimcould
No, I don’t agree with a ban.
