Yes, a large happy yellow duck can mean only one thing – it's cyclocross season in Holland and Belgium. For 2nd day in a row, LLLLucindaaa Bbbbrrrand (Vlaanderen accent) has won.

This is why insurance costs are spiralling – it is mostly caused by drivers themselves being criminally irresponsible and dangerous...

Haha, yes. It's a thread outrage farming off graffiti on the tubes, so... let's mention people on bikes!

Really?

US-backed oppostion leader Maria Corina Machado:
"If we win, we will move the Venezuelan embassy to Jerusalem to support Israel"

She's a CIA stooge - given a prize last year by their front organisation, National Endowment for Democracy.

That's all very well, but Otto metaphorically lives down the end of a nice quiet leafy cul-de-sac or gated development, thinking everyone beyond its externalities is tiresome. We cannot ignore the onging horrors of our world. We must engage with the reality, in order to fix life for the better.

Appropriately enough, I have a blue/turquoise/silver frame to try 'Goldfingering' on. Although the frame shows plenty of wear, I'm loathed to colour match or completely repowdercoat the frame, as the original blue/turquoise paint and its patina is so nice.

Great review, although carbon's not my bag. One thing that grinds my gears about the bike industry is all the different standards that require carrying a tool chest around. The idea of one T25 for everything on the bike is genius. I Whittled mine down to this pocket-sized orange multitool...

Imagine being there at the first spark of the mountain biking scene and becoming one of its legends, and documenting It all. I cannot wait to get a copy of Wende Cragg's forthcoming book Camera Corner. The photos that she's amassed and curated must be like cosmic gold dust.

Been watching the #TourofBritain racing on ITV.

The final stage finished in Cardiff, seeing Gerraint Thomas officially retire from racing.

Watching today's live coverage of the run in to Cardiff stirred up the emotions and memories of my time there as a design student late 80s to early 90s.

Here it is, immortalised forever.
They tried claiming it was some kind of joke.
Quite a weird account.

And yet it was so dim that no-one got it and you had to delete it.

Here's screenshot of Boobliette's @pillbugjunction.bsky.social now deleted post stating:
"Britain claiming to be part of Europe is like North Carolina claiming to be part of the East Coast"

It would be good to see pics of this. I'm kind of chasing a muse for a possible future build, acquiring any old Specialized (Stumpy, Hopper, or whatever). It's inspired by these two items of clothing...

It's supposedly to stop kids looking at naughty stuff.

To access DMs here, I have to scan my face and my credit card.

Currently in GB: you can be arrested under terrorism offences for wearing a T-shirt saying "plasticine action", but if you display a banner saying "kill 'em all" you're home free.
