This book about National Cycling Network is interesting and full of history and facts. But I can’t read it without getting depressed about cycling and cycle paths, so I am returning it to Long Eaton library. #protectmentalhealth

Riding
My Scottish granddaughter, age 11, is here with her parents. Keen cyclists, they brought their bikes. Today I had the pleasure of taking them over Tren Bridge, along the embankment, then following the tram line to Rugby Road, then back though Buckfast Way and home. #excellent
Loved using the new bike hub at the central library this morning. Thanks @transport_Nottm
Particularly appreciated the way the door sensed I wasn’t fully out, manoeuvring the trike can be tricky for me sometimes, and automatically reopened. Many thanks
Happy Xmas to my followers and followees. This year saw me back on the road, 1270 km cycled. Looking forward to 1500 next year. Best wishes to all two and three wheelers 🏍️🚴♂️❤️
It is weird to go from having a neurological condition, Cidp, no one has heard of, to another, Parkinson’s, where every one has an uncle or grandfather with it. Anyway my next GP appt is just before Xmas
In early November I got a cancellation and went to see some NHS specialists in Cidp at Oxford. To my surprise they said I also have Parkinson’s disease, that was the main reason why my condition continues to worsen, that standard drugs would help. Spoiler: they haven’t in 2wks so far.
Have stopped riding my etrike due to the fact that when ever I step off the bike, to cross on a pelican crossing for example, it can take several minutes of standing before I can move. *also it is cold 😀.
My cycling gloves were stolen from my front basket this morning when my trike was locked to a rack at #Puregym Wilford. My habit has been to leave gloves and sometimes hi vis jacket in the basket in areas where only fellow cyclists go. Bummer
Today I reclaimed my route to the Water Sports Centre. Down Cyril Road to cross into Lady Bay via pelican crossing. Out to the WSC and then around the long rowing lake. Short of time so came back down Trent Blvd and into West Bridgford via Edwald road.
To my disappointment none of my bike twitter friends have followed me here. I am therefore suspending my use of this mastodon account till the end of June at least
