Wow, that was a great #KidicalMass in #Barry #Barrybados.

Organised by the amazing AB, we were a great gang of people on wheels. It wasn’t far, but the energy was great. We moved from #BarryIsland to the #Knap, with plenty of stops to re-group.

I was there as a helper, there were a good team of us, and people in cars were patient this time.

We only had a deluge at the start, but dried off in a cafe at the Knap at the end - the new car parking charges didn’t bother us.

#BikeTooter #Cymru

Morning all. I’ve been quiet recently, but I’m still doing the #Biketooter thing most days.

Here’s my usual photo from my commute, heading down into #Porthkerry park in #Barrybados here in #Cymru.

This week’s photo from the #solstice is compared with the same shot from the #equinox and winter solstice.

For you year-round riders, I’ve bigged you up in the #AltText.

Keep on keeping on.

There are benefits from finishing late at work (parcel guy was late). Now I have to wait for the next train. (I was inspired to have some beer by @RantyHighwayman’s walk)

Morning #Biketooter gang! The morning commute is getting lighter! The streetlights were turning off as I departed, and the backlight on my bike computer turned off at 07:42 - that was 07:53 last week. Here’s the view from my viewpoint in #Barrybados #Cymru, with an extra bonus pic.
Here you go, #BikeTooter gang. My commute this evening took me through the Island Road #tunnel in #Barrybados. It’s been pimped with lights on the arched roof - the lights change colour, and move along their tracks. Sometimes they’re 🌈, other times red, and tonight, a mixture. A great atmosphere for a previously scruffy part of town. Here in #Cymru it’s cold and grey - if you’re riding at this time of year (it’s winter here), 🙌🏽, keep on keeping on - #bikes are awesome. #VeloTaf #VeloTaff
@wlukewindsor #Barrybados? It has its charms!
Wow, that was bracing. It’s freezing here in #Cymru, and #Barry Docks is private land so doesn’t get gritted*, so my #BikeTooter from the train was a walk, but what a walk! The #SchiffSamstag is loading wood chip - #Barrybados seems to have become a hub for collecting scrap wood. I thought that it was for the biomass incinerator, but this week, a ship has arrived. The wood is being shredded and loaded here. Seems laborious.
*(road grit - rock salt to melt ice. It’s a British thing)

Whitmore Bay

Spending time and just listening and sensing, before then allowing those to influence and dictate how the colour and light are then captured onto the sensor is where I am going with these new images. This new series is more me and captures my feelings and mood from that location.
