All kinds of cycling, climbing, mountains, cats and skiing. Learning French, working in active travel.
Nothing like answering my new French phone for proving how much I don’t, in fact, speak French 😆
In person with context I’m ok but having to deal with phone calls to set up a gas and electric supply is well, difficult. So thankful for today’s caller, who actually spoke slower when I asked them to!

Alison Jackson to St Michel Preference Home St Auber wasn’t on my bingo card this morning but I like it! Looking more closely they seem to be building quite nicely this autumn 🍁🇨🇦🍁🍂🌱🥬🌿🍃

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.
I disagree.
RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

Doomscrolling isn’t helping me this morning. When does it ever? Here’s a #caturday cuddle for others that need a bit of a timeline cleanse. 🥰

Ireland, Slovenia, Iceland, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal are now all considering boycotting Eurovision unless Israel are removed.
Like if they should.

If you want to see how low BBC news has sunk, watch their item on asylum housing. Borderline racism.

A shame the ladies aren’t racing today, but great to be able to see the men set off from what will be our home from home 😍

@nedboulting.bsky.social given that there’s only 1 minute gap between 3rd and 4th, and Lipowitz has already had a photo in the white jersey, they can’t do anything else but neutralise, surely? It would have a been a tall order, but given the potential for chaos on this unknown stage, maybe possible?

Woooooouuuuuutttt!! That was an awesome stage worth missing the afternoon sun for.
But who the hell approved the start of the run-in barriers round the right angled corner with the sticky out bit on the racing line?! 🤯

Saw this at 0813 and got a team in! It’ll probably prefer better than any of the carefully considered ones 😅
Velogames Fantasy Itzulia Women 2025 begins early on Friday. Finalise your team ahead of the entry deadline of 09:15 CEST (Central European Summer Time) on Friday 16th May 2025. That is 08:15 in the UK and 03:15 on US East Coast. Good luck to all team directors!

Really interesting discussion!
New!
We received a lot of requests to release our bonus with Marco te Brömmelstroet, aka “The Fietsprofessor," about a study he co-authored with @ianwalker.bsky.social on where motornomativity comes from... so here it is!
Plus, better language for better streets.

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

Does anyone else have issues with videos playing here? For the last week or so I just get “an error occurred…”
They used to work and I’ve not consciously changed anything?
