Absolutely loved the Resistance exhibition at @nationalgalleries.bsky.social - inspirationally brave, angry, and persistent people who changed the world.

This picture of Rosa May Billinghurst was a favourite, but many great photographs of people fighting for good - incredibly moving.

It is a Bad Time here now - this voting intention survey made me double take.

I genuinely don't know what I'll do if reform win an election.

A great ride with @edcriticalmass.bsky.social down to Porty today - weather held out for the most part!
A middle aged bearded Caucasian man wearing a green bike helmet and a red jacket. There's a flag behind him with the word Mass visible. His t-shirt is cool - white with a picture of a cyclist on it.

Restorative.
A very cloudy pint of drygate beer on a wooden table - the firth of forth and the rail bridge are visible, but out of focus in the background.

Makes me instantly think of this shop just off Elm Row too - another one that I don't think has been open in many years!
A shuttered beige storefront covered in graffiti. Sign says HARLIES, formerly CHARLIES, but the C painted out. Sign says they sell "T.V.'s Video's Hi-Fi's CD's Cameras, Games Consols Games Computers."(sic) Est 1977.

Even a bad bike is better than no bike! Borrowed an old MTB from my brother in law for a short trail ride along the edge of Lake Ontario, so good to be out there, even with all the flies!

Was sad to see this fallen one on my travels
An old door made of numerous wooden boards cut together - it appears that it's been extended at some point to be a bigger door - extra boards tacked on. It's lying flat in brambles, having lost its portal.

Not sure what the @shropwitchespod.bsky.social would make of this, nailed to a doorframe at a local falling down farm shed in a village near Shrewsbury...
The top of a thick wooden doorframe with a dessicated looking black animal paw and a small but thick horseshoe nailed to it.

Took a wee tour of a few Shropshire hills today - just sunny and still enough to be delightful.

Not really the roads for a racing bike, but occasionally glorious downhills with reasonable surfaces were lovely.

A crowd of people in front of a neoclassical building in Edinburgh. There are many flags, several Trans Pride ones, a couple of LGBTQIA ones - it's good.

Fun rewatching Escape from New York, feels far more plausible than it has in a long, long time.
A neon traced outline of Manhattan in orange, with liberty island in the foreground in green. Graphics from the intro to escape from new York. Text reads"the rules are simple. Once you go in, you don't come out"

Riding out on Saturday at 11.45 from Middle Meadow Walk for the Great Ride of Return in solidarity with the Gaza Sunbirds - hopefully a good turn out of bikes and flags! I'll be along with a few pals - hope to see a few #edinburgh #cyclist buddies there too :)
A post from Insta for the Great Ride of Return; a handmade collage of drawings of hands and a cyclist with a Palestinian flag. Text reads In solidarity with the Gaza Sunbirds and commemorating the Great March of Return. Meet 11.45 ride at 12pm. Edinburgh - 5th April. Middle meadow walk.

Post a pic of when your pet was little.

A tabby kitten is sitting on the back of a bespectacled man with glasses. He's lying on a bed and reading the newspaper. There's an indigo tie dye in the background and the walls are student flat beige.

Post you from a different era.
A boy sits in a Sinclair C5, his hair if bouffant, his sunglasses are mirrored, his shell suit is cyan with pink highlights, there's a Citroen CX and a brick wall as a backdrop. It's pretty rad.

At the Neidpath Tunnel - a nice wee adventure, less off piste than some, but fun!
The Neidpath Viaduct over the river Tweed, seen from the low bank, looking past bare winter trees, towards the viaduct. Inside the Neidpath Tunnel - red light bathes the foreground of the old railway tunnel - twenty metres ahead, two people walk with torches, illuminating further in white light, beyond that, darkness The end of the Neidpath Tunnel - the brick walls are dripping with water, the exit is like a wall of light Looking down from the Neidpath railway line towards the river Tweed, through sparse woodland of sickly looking trees, a healthier tree is reflected loosely in the running water

What is good in life?
A small tabby cat standing in a spiral stairwell with a stone floor, next to a white bicycle. The cat is nuzzling the pedals. The walls in the stairwell are a vivid aquamarine.
