Welcome and thank you to new followers! I plan to stick to my lane with the occasional swerve, posting links to our writing on the Muddymoles, an enthusiastic but typical group of riders in the Surrey Hills in the UK. I hope you like it. We love bikes and we support bike lovers everywhere.

As “buy-stuff season” looms, skip the ear warmers and fancy headlight gifts for your cycling friends.
They already impulse bought those last week.
What do they really want?
You
On a bike
Riding with them
Because no gadget beats shared miles, bad jokes, and pretending hills aren’t that steep.

Finally launched a new Muddymoles site. Need to pare back/minify CSS + JS and figure out image srcset and sizes. Bit of a live redesign I guess. Hat tip to @amyhupe.bsky.social for her old site font and heading inspiration and the utopia.fyi crew

I've struggled with this before but havn't found an adequate solution. In a page of content with panels in the flow visually highlighting content - how do you tell screenreaders the content is 'different'? Its not a blockquote, or aside. Even MDN does nothing eg their notecards

🍂 Autumn’s here, but you don’t need a big budget to keep pedalling.
Stay warm, dry and visible with seasonal essentials for under £100 — from mudguards and lights to layers that won’t weigh you down.

More photos from day 1 in The Netherlands
Explored Delft and went up the tower, what a beautiful view! Then got a train and bus to Wassenaar (to fuel Nick’s nostalgia)
Then checked into to our accommodation and popped to Amsterdam for a short walk as the sun way setting!
What a busy day 😂

Cycle on a pavement: get grief. Cycle on the road: get grief. Cycle in a shared-use space: get grief. Cycle on a *checks notes* National Cycle Route: get grief.
Cycle like a ninja: get grief. Use your voice: how dare you. Use your bell: also, how dare you.
You. Just. Can't. Win.

💥 did a small drawing explaining the JS execution model including the event loop. I hope it’s helpful to folks. Debugging is always easier when the underlying implementations are understood.

Are YOUR legs too pretty? Sick of getting compliments about your gorgeous getaway sticks? Then why not be a mountain biker? You, too can look like a plague survivor who's been attacked by a leopard.

Companies build web products where the designers don’t understand CSS and either do the developers.
I just can’t put my finger on why the web sucks so much.
