Well, i have to say I'm impressed after going from a full Ice car to a plug in hybrid. Although slightly regretting not going for a full electric car.

That's why I like the little but newer Transport for Wales trains.
Plenty of space and a strap to secure rather than a wheelbrace.
Plus no one seems to complain if you're in the vestibule part

Changed mine back in May, thought "hey I've changed brake cables on my old external routed bike how hard could it be."

Drugs, exercise, rest, and ice and heat... And a "ban" from cycling for the next two weeks... so #coffeeneuring might be off the cards. I so I'll have a cup now whilst drying out and waiting for my bus.... Then to find an open phamacy

Well a very fun day, an attempt to do some cycle lane characterisation.
Main goal are the routes lit?
And also took a look at surface quality and Lane type.
Alot more OSM updates required.

Well who would have thought that not all garmin mount inserts are equal... (not me for sure)
"I've got loads of mounts I can steal an insert from, won't be any bother"... famous last words
Managed to bodge a fix before foolhardily attempting my longest ride tomorrow (80miles round to Southport).

Nice to have a wander around see some old trains and look at the exhibits for hydrogen engines and battery technology and a fantastic mural visible nearby.
All free and all it cost was a cup of coffee and a slice of shortbread.
