In my lunch break I nipped over to the mini-roads where #PelotonLiv are teaching a load more kids to ride.
I was there because one of the kids said they liked doing videologs at home. I've lent them my GoPro, bike mount and wireless mic, and left them riding round filming things.
They're going to come to Maker Night at @DoESLiverpool tomorrow evening and we'll edit the footage down on the massive telly.

Thanks to @huffeec our website now has a write-up of the Bluetooth LED bike game we built with #PelotonLiv

Friday night's #FolkRidingBikes group ride started at the #PelotonLiv #bikiosk, with the official turning on of the new LED lighting that @jackie_pease and Paul made for it 🤩
When the nights draw in the lights come out.
The full highlights (almost a mixtape as I left in a few full tracks) from Friday's group social #JoyRide with #PelotonLiv
Starting at the uni, over to Aigburth and down to the river; back along that to the Albert Dock; and then a ride through Liverpool ONE and up Bold St back to the start.

#PelotonLiv have a bunch of free summer learn-to-ride and improve-your-riding bike play sessions next week at the mini-roads bike park in Everton.
On Friday evening we had a #JoyRide. And this one was a bit special. Fifty or so cyclists following a performer on a trike with a soundsystem through Liverpool on a gorgeous summer's evening.

@otfrom sweet! Cargo bikes rock (luckily I can borrow one from #PelotonLiv, I don't have room for one in my flat).
I'm getting a CGR aluminium gravel bike. The busted pannier rack on my current one tore a hole in the frame recently, which tipped me over to getting a new one. Looking forward to getting hydraulic brakes so I can stop again (miss them from my old MTB)
From last night. The last photo is Danny from #PelotonLiv talking about the mini-roads and bike library projects, which led into me then talking about #FolkRidingBikes.
Which was mostly me enthusing about how riding bikes is FUN! And yes, it helps get cars off the streets, with climate-change, improve mental- and physical-health, and all manner of other good stuff. But all that follows from people realising that cycling is enjoyable.
@otfrom I refer you to my last toot 😉 https://mastodon.me.uk/@amcewen/112529045485243522
#PelotonLiv are great, sadly I've not tempted them over here yet.
Our #FolkRidingBikes group grew out of the #JoyRide rides that Peloton run, which started as ride for the blokes at the (also awesome) addiction-recovery centre Damien John Kelly House to have something fun to do on a Friday night instead of think "ah, normally I'd be..."
As @nick says, they're making a difference in all manner of bike-related things in the city
Attached: 1 image Nipped out to do some shopping t'other day, and my route takes me past the Mini-Roads bike play park in Everton park. It's half-term, so my mate Danny was running one of #PelotonLiv's learn-to-ride sessions. Loads of kids on all sizes of bikes, from balance bikes upwards. They also get free lunch, so I got to blag a bowl of rice and veg stew for my lunch! https://peloton.coop/project/mini-roads/ #Liverpool #Everton #bike #cycling #BikeTooter
