Another trip done. Bit chaotic at St Malo this morning with two ferries leaving within 30 mins of each other though! 🚗 🚙 🚐 🚕 🚙

As someone who's been both hospitalised by and involved in the aftermath of far too many drivers hitting cyclists, including more than one fatal collision, I wholeheartedly support @velobella.bsky.social's call
