An incredible turnout in Sheffield today to protest the historic miscarriage of justice in the UK Supreme Court.

Made my heart sing to bump into friends there. Was in tears by the end of it.

A day we’ll all remember 🏳️‍⚧️

I love cleaning drivetrains so much

“Could you put a wash on please?”

“Sure, what do you need?”

“My chain and my rear cassette please”

“Oh, you need them to jiggle”

Had a wonderful time feeding the red pandas today at Yorkshire Wildlife Park for a belated birthday present. Thank you so much @kitation 💜
As someone who’s on the skeptical side when it comes to LLMs, I really like these features in Strava. Providing that the training and execution of the models will get better over time, I hope we’ll see more things like this and less generative slop.
Bike is definitely rolling a lot better on the downcountry tyres 👍
I love the LNER Azuma trains. This little void between seats is perfect for my bike.

Big fan of “FCK RWLNG”
