A fresh but lovely ride with child number 1. Life is better if bikes are involved 🚲😁

Absolutely! If Australia is in Eurovision (sadly so is Israel) then anything is possible 😁 Seriously though I really hope the UK rejoins and also Canada becomes a member. Nice countries with similar values should stick together in these uncertain times.

A fitting tribute Mike, aye the weather is too nice not to be out on the bike. I will be getting some miles in the legs over the weekend 🚲

Trump & Vance’s behaviour with Zelenskyy just now was disgraceful.

My blood is boiling.

Bullies gonna bully.

Two despicable and cowardly Americans trying to strong arm the leader of a vulnerable country into signing away his country’s future.

Time for Europe and the UK to unite the civilised world and move on without the rogue state that the USA has become.

A morning walk into Newcastle and lunch with the family. A few colourful snaps of one of my favourite buildings the Glass house (formerly the Sage) and a quirky old building just up from the Ouseburn. #newcastle #gateshead #ouseburn #glasshouse #streetphotography

A quick blast down to Liverpool and back for a meet and greet with one of our favourite actors and musicians Matt Berry. Bumping into Ben Kearns was an added bonus.

Last Sunday's trip to Beamish with the family. The pint and suet pudding lunch with roast veg were tremendous!

Having "special time" with Stormy Daniels could be another clue...🤔

Yep...sadly I no longer see the BBC as a credible news source.

Nice, I really like the retro scene. There are some lovely nitto bits you can add. I'm thinking of building a cheap/retro pub bike/commuter, probably a single speed. That way I can lock it up outside a pub and not be too stressed about leaving it

To be fair, it was old uni mates on a 3 day pub crawl on bikes. The highlight was a pint with Johnny Vegas just outside of Penrith on the first day. I had a Boardman 29er before upgrading to the sonder🍻🚲

I got mine on FB marketplace, it had hardly been used. To be honest it is more bike than I need (gravel/trails/city is more my thing), mountain biking is for people who bounce better than I do 🙄🤷🏼‍♂️😂

I paid more for the frame than I intended but sadly my dad passed the same day so it became bit of a tribute build (he would have approved). The pedals are great, I will definitely fit them to l future builds. The klunker bars really work well with the frame, it is a great city bike 🚲.

Raleigh Budgie (70's) then a Grifter (the world's heaviest bike) in the 80's for me. We had a house share Cannondale MTB at uni in the early 90's until it got nicked. I didn't get back on a bike again until 2017 when I took part in the C2C for charity. Been hooked since.

I picked up a 2nd hand neutrino with the intention of turning it into a commuter/shopping bike. My oldest boy fell in love with it (to be fair he looks way cooler on it) so I'm sticking with the trusty Sonder transmitter for now. Keeping an eye out for a riv/Vo and a sensible price.

Is that a polyvalent you have there Mike?

Love his videos. Korea was never on my radar until I stumbled across his content a year or 2 ago. We have a family trip to Japan booked at Easter so hopefully a visit to Bluelug and the interesting toilets is on the cards. 🚲 🚽

Love getting out on the bike. When I was younger I was bit of a petrol head. These days I prefer a slower pace on 2 wheels.
