Yesterday was a great day for a nice long ride down to Hartlepool on #NCN1 via the Shields Ferry.

Did you even grow up in the 90s unless this comes out in the voice of Mrs Doubtfire?

Due to construction of the new Seafront Cycleway, we're postponing our next Kidical Mass ride until the summer to celebrate the launch of the route. With construction work & diversions, we can't plan a safe route for the numbers that usually join us. Join our mailing list for updates: bit.ly/3YRJ5CY

RIP Kindle. 14 years of loyal service, hundreds of books consumed. A faithful travel partner. Known longer than my fiance 😂😂📚

Back by popular demand! Join us this Friday, 28th March, 6:30pm at Spanish City Plaza for a leisurely ride to Tynemouth and back for drinks.

IMPORTANT: There is a short section on-road to bypass the ongoing works on the cycleway. Sunset is at 6:34 so lights are essential.

This has been a really interesting read; not my usual genre but an eye opener to some aspects of Japanese culture. #butter #asakoyuzuki #goodreads #booksky

I wonder how the 28 people who were vocally opposed to this scheme, on the basis they quite like where they can currently park their cars, might feel knowing that a child has been knocked off his bike where there could’ve been a safer alternative?
A young person was knocked off his bike by a hit-and-run driver this morning outside John Spence School - exactly where the abandoned Preston Rd cycle path should have delivered him safely.

Who will be held responsible and who will respond, before this happens again?

In a new blog, we suggest North Tyneside Council gave up on the Preston Rd, North Shields cycle path on the basis of 28 consultation responses which they say they could not reconcile with design issues, on which they sought no further expert design advice:

Excited to start trying to read my first @ljross.bsky.social novel in French. Christ knows how long it’ll take, but I’ve read the English version so figured it was a decent place to start. #languagelearning #reading #french #ljross

First attempt at a baby bootie requires more practice, or fewer toes. But yarn holder worked a treat! #crochet
