To those that want to encourage more people to cycle here are some things that would help.
1) encourage e-bikes. I’d not have tried without the e-bike backup. 2) encourage CCTV at bike racks. A bike near us was stolen on Thursday when we were shopping. This discourages more cyclist than anything.

Just back from donating more platelets. If you can please consider donating blood or platelets. 69% of platelets go to cancer patients with the rest going to people in trauma. It really does save lives.

The chair I bought 3 years ago to replace the one I borrowed from my old work has been great. It was a refurbished OrangeBox Do Task chair. The arm split but given it was an expensive chair (if bought new) then I was able to get replacements and i now have a perfect chair again.

14.8 miles cycled in 1.5 hours today. The magic button did get used but I am doing more myself and even with the magic button it still takes effort
Magic button - the button to engage the electric bike ‘helping’ me cycle. Mainly to keep up with D

This week at Brownies & Guides we are doing ceilidh dancing and trying tablet for Burns Night. Will also get Guides to see how their poem writing goes. However that means I had to make tablet. Oh what a shame.
