10 years ago today. This did not last long. Close passes happen come what may. There's no light nor reflective or bright clothing that could combat against distracted or incompetent driving. Soon after I went back to normal clothes and had some lights. #sorrymatedidntseeyou

I FOI'd English councils whether they use legal land purchase powers to create traffic-free paths. Just 1% said they have successfully.

This news brings me sadness.
Hearing the news of the death of Patricia Routledge, memories came flooding back of one of her most famous characters. I watched back to back episodes of Keeping Up Appearances when I returned from my long stint in hospital in 2007.

Awful news.
Wishing the person cycling recovers quickly and the incompetent person driving gets a heavy sentence for causing serious injury by dangerous driving, failing to stop & drug driving and drink driving offences. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Memories time. 10 years ago today I helped power an outdoor cinema by cycling. And got Ben and Jerry's ice-cream as a reward.
