Why did drivers not close pass me when cycling today? This is why. #closepass #cycling

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

18 years ago today I had a brain haemorrhage and stroke. I always mark it as it made me, me! Such a seismic shift in everything! #brainhaemorrhage

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.

Just reading Manchester's Street For All strategy document and saw this cute graphic. That massive queue of cars you see is actually only a few people.

Couple of photos from last 24 hours. Some drivers are incompetent and should hand in their licences. Van driver on phone and driving though a tram only area.

10 years to the day we left London to go interrailing around Europe. Paris, Rome, Venice, Munich, Berlin and Amsterdam. Today, we happened to be in London so went back to Edgware Road to do a retake of the photo as the journey began!
