Anyone else got their company to green their pension or SIPP? Simon Reeve mentioned it during his show and now I'm curious about the options. #SimonReeve #greenpension
Paddington to Exeter train cancelled due to flooding has certainly put a dampener on my 600k audax weekend.
I've a box of punctured, skinny road tubes I'll never repair to use again. What can I do with them other than 'bin'? #cycling #recycling #london

Another Speedplay cleat bites the dust. Lucky I've a stash of spares still.
Three punctures and counting. Emitremmus 100k. Quite the Willesden turn out for this!

“I use a wheelchair and I want more bike lanes”:

Summary of points made by EJ Barrett in the below-linked article:
1. Many disabled people use bikes.
2. Many of us consider our electric bikes, scooters and trikes to be mobility devices.
3. Lots of people cannot drive
4. More people using cycleways means fewer cars on the road, which makes it easier for disabled and chronically ill people who use cars

I use a wheelchair and I want more bike lanes

This may come as a shock, but disabled people who use transport care about more than just car parks.

When was the last time you rode a TT, Mr hippy? Um...
I believe it's the done thing here to say stuff like, 10 years ago I won the National 24hr TT Champs at @MerseyRoads24! Still my best performance on a bike. Obviously I'm late posting about it because I'm slow now (not lost though, which is a nice change).
