Mid commute. One bike ride done, now two trains and another short ride. I now also have a Brompton transit bag so I can transport the bike into work. #Palaver #ChooseCycling

Trying out the Brompton transit bag on my commute this morning. Carrying it over my shoulder. Not ideal but hoping it will allow me to convey the bike into the office on my own. #ChooseCycling

Very cold ride this morning. My fingers are like blocks of ice. Hoping someone meets me at the office to haul the bike in as I’m not allowed to use its inbuilt mobility aids - aka the rollers 🙄 #ChooseCycling

A memory from 2014 when I was teaching film and education. ‘These people’ are from the North, like me. #FilmAndEducation

This weekend, cycling across Derby in the wind and rain to see ex-colleagues at an open studio. Purchased creations (wrapped safely for the ride home - no pics, they are 🎁 ). The stockings were to raise money for Air Ambulance. 🚲

In Stratford again, at ‘The Other Place’ to see David Edgar’s The New Real. “Our politics is a hologram and yours a shadow-play”.

My Basil basket pannier has carried my shopping for nearly 20 years. Time to upgrade to an Ortlieb shopper pannier? 🚲

Took my Brompton to #StammaFest in Nottingham this weekend. Lots of steps to accommodation but eventually found a lift so could move bike with minimal hauling.

My little blue Brompton and I have had adventures together for over 20 years. But now, the once simple act of lifting it on to a train has become difficult for me. I hope this will pass and we’ll have more trips together. #ChooseCycling

Paid a visit to Derby’s own model railway today. Lovely little attraction in Markeaton Park run by enthusiasts. 🚂
