Some of our bike rides over the last couple of days.
1. Collecting wood and other supplies for our continuing kitchen renovation project.
2. Taking some old metal to be recycled by a guy who lives at a nearby traveller camp.
3. Taking the old freezer to the recycling centre.
4. Picking up our grandchild from daycare.

2 cars blocked the cycle path while turning.
6-8 cars completely congested the square in front of the school (where there are actually only 3 parking slots, if you're not charging your EV).

2 cyclists ignored red lights.

And one personal annoyance:
1 cyclist always squeezed in front of me at red lights, despite me overtaking her 3 times.

This morning's trip to get things for the kitchen and garden. First I bought a few light fittings and brackets from one shop in the city centre, then I rode out to the big shops around the edge for sheets of plywood and some planters, and finally I bought a loaf of bread from the baker on the way home so that I could eat lunch on my return.
The trip home was made a little more interesting than usual by having a strongish side wind for much of the route. As I rode along a residential street I felt as if I was being pulled towards the houses while at the gaps between them there was a strong wind pushing me away. Luckily we have good quality separated cycle-paths pretty much everywhere so there was no danger at all of being pushed in front of motor traffic.

A few more everyday cycling photos. Taking parcels to the post office, and this evening collecting a tin of paint from a DIY shop.

Record numbers cycling along Manchester's Oxford Road corridor - build good infrastructure and people on bikes will come (including me). #Manchester #Cycling #Urbanism #EverydayCycling https://www.manchester.gov.uk/news/article/9359/cycling_in_manchester_is_booming_as_one_million_journey_record_is_smashed_one_month_early
Cycling in Manchester is booming as one million journey record is smashed one month early | Manchester City Council

Cycling in Manchester is booming as one million journey record is smashed one month early - More than 1m have already used the Oxford Road cycle lane, surpassing this milestone more than one month earlier compared to 2022.

On Saturday we toured some of GM's newest walking and cycling infrastructure with Stockport councillors James Frizzell, Pete West and Geoff Abell - thanks for coming along! See alt text explaining what we saw along the way👀 #Cycling #Everydaycycling #Stockport #Manchester #Salford
This afternoon's ride was to the centre of Assen to buy some vegetables at the market. We've lived here for quite a long time now and seeing a huge number of bikes everywhere is no longer a novelty. But it is still fabulous.

A view from the cycle path

Why is it that people cycle more in the Netherlands than in any other country ? The answer is in the infrastructure. Long established blog with content up to the present day detailing how the infrastructure of the Netherlands makes cycling so pleasant that almost everyone cycles in this country and a higher proportion of cycle journeys are made here than anywhere else

Today's parcels on their way to the post office.
I took a slight detour through a park to cycle in the shadow of some trees, but on the way I spotted these pigs who preferred to bath in the sun.
Anyway, today ten customers were sent email notifications and they'll receive their bike parts in a few days.
