The other place has morphed into The Politburo. It really is the mouthpiece for Putin. The US administration have not reverted to isolationism, they have sided with Russia. Worrying times.

My take on the Elon Musk hand gesture

While I don’t believe the government will ever implement a ban, I do believe that there needs to be a grown up conversation around the mis-use and weaponisation of social media petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

What’s everyone’s
view on cycle commuting to Salford tomorrow. The side roads and shared paths still look pretty sketchy. Just weighing up the risk\benefit

I think it’s probably time to have an adult conversation about limiting Twitter\X and Elon Musk’s hate filled bile and disinformation content.

Lots of Tank Commanders driving today. How hard is it to ensure you have full visibility before setting off on your car?

Cycling through Abney Hall\Manchester Road will be treacherous in the morning - as will any shared path that never gets gritted in cold weather. Please be carefully find an alternative route. @walkridestocky.bsky.social

Taken last night with an old iPhone.

Waiting for a bus and observed the cars queuing in the huge traffic jam many spewing their fumes in my direction. 9/10 were single occupancy, each person takes up an inordinate amount of road space.Many will complain when any active travel plans are proposed citing it will affect their journey.

Roads seem quieter than normal, looks like that very light dusting of snow in Sth Mcr has put quite a few drivers off taking their journey.

I was expecting that after putting the winter wheels on my bike the expected snow wouldn’t happen. There’s a light dusting so now I feel happy the effort wasn’t wasted #cycling

Cheadle High Street this morning (not my video) I’m sure this chap was against the clean air charge…

#bluesky feels more like Saturday Morning Swap Shop compared to Twitter\X’s Late Night Tiswas (OTT) offering. And I’m good with that.

Call me odd, but I much prefer cycling in the autumn and winter months. You have to work for your heat and warmth and I like that.
