Oh this is good. And yes, hard is right. But also beautiful. The ‘best’ essay I wrote in graduate school was where I applied (criminal psychologist) Lonnie Athens’ theory of ‘violentizarion’ to Macbeth. Fun times.

There is no better train line in the country than the Mildmay Overground line between Clapham/Richmond to Stratford. I’ve sworn that I’ll never live more than a ten min cycle ride from it.

I was in Cambridgeshire for a workshop on ways to improve rural roads for walking, wheeling, and cycling. Back at Finsbury Park we splintered to the four corners of London - travelling conveniently, safely, sustainably and efficiently via public transport and cycling. What a city. @london.gov.uk

Had to go to Imperial Wharf for something. What an odd, soulless place. Although Chelsea Creek looked interesting. Anyone know anything about it?

We need to get suburban areas of large towns and cities adopting improved conditions for walking and cycling as a priority. This will require funding, political action, and vision. Let’s do it, it’ll be fun. edition.cnn.com/2024/11/15/h...

Morning spent helping to prune back trees on the river bank and clearing debris from the water. Pulled out one branch with a decomposing adult nappy insnared. Flushed? However it got there, let’s clean up the Thames and hold polluters accountable. On the plus side, incredible light.

Our neighbourhood just got a new bike shop. Not one where you have to make an appointment to visit or where you need to take out a small mortgage. A standard, family owned bike shop. That sells bikes. And fixes bikes.

Of the handful of times I’ve walked up Olympic Way from Wembley Park, I’ve missed Wealdstone Brook. Until last night. #lostrivers
