@arseblog.com @gunnerblog.bsky.social Question for the Arsecast; Sadly Morning, Now the dust is settling on our season, my thoughts have turned to Edu and his exit. Do you think he was pushed out (defenestrated!) after failing to bring in attacking talent in his last two transfer windows?

What a rise from Myles Lewis-Skelly, from first team debut at Arsenal to full England player in less than six months! Islington massive! 😍

@amylawrence.bsky.social does that qualify as a F.Off win? Felt like it from here!

Dead end track with little surprise at the end, Leisure by W H Davies:

WHAT is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?
No time to stand beneath the boughs,
And stare as long as sheep and cows:
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass…

A long way from home which seems to have been near Manchester for this Leyland Titan as seen when out riding near Fornells, Catalonia

This chance meeting in a forest while riding near Banyoles in Fontcoberta made me smile at the time and again when this photo popped up in my picture library #cycling #forest #dog

Kristof Ramon’s book, The Art of Suffering, captures the brutal beauty of road cycling. “I hope I will be remembered as a rider who gave 100%. That’s how I like to race... & the photos I like. When I’m retired and my kids ask about it... I’ll be able to open this book and show them” Wout van Aert

Festka was founded in Prague in 2010 by Michael Moureček, a former professional cyclist, and Ondřej Novotný, with a vision to create advanced and personalised bicycles. They produce approx 500 frames per year, focusing on quality and craftsmanship over mass production. #rouleur #rouleurlive #festka

The most interesting talk at Rouleur Live for me was listening to Lachlan Morton’s thoughts on his 14,200 km ride around Australia in 30 days, 9 hours, and 59 minutes, beating the old record by a week! Highlight was swearing at the wind when it refused to turn sufficiently 🤣

And some history in the making,Tadej Pogačar’s Colnago V4RS as ridden during the 2024 Tour de France. #rouleur #rouleurlive #colnago

Lovely piece of cycling history, Fausto Coppi’s Bianchi Reparto Corse Pista, brought over for his first race in UK in September 1958 at Herne Hill Velodrome #rouleur #rouleurlive

Listening to Greg LeMond talk about photography in cycling, he says he still has 3 or 4 dreams a year about starting the Tour de France! #rouleur #rouleurlive

Morning from Aylesbury! Heading to London for the Rouleur Live 2024 cycle show at the Truman Gallery on Brick Lane— Hopeful that the grey start to the day will lift 🚴 #rouleurlive #rouleur #cycling

Hi bluesky, happy to be here, here's hoping for a relaxed, non confrontational space where ideas and differences can be shared without prejudice or fear...
