Need some new tires. My cycling at the moment is…. 80% road/20% off road gravel trails Any advise?

This is a common type of crash for smaller children: a driver hitting them in a parking lot/cul-de-sac in front of their home.

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

Just catching up on this and it’s genuinely made my day. Fucking brilliant

The growing warfare between Trump and Musk? Glad it’s happening now. Too bad it didn’t happen sooner before the co-presidents inflicted so much damage.

Within the space of an evening Musk has gone from (just about) an ally of Trump’s to alleging that he’s in the Epstein files and should be impeached. Meanwhile, Steve Bannon suggests Musk should be deported. Just another normal night in Trump’s America.

This appeared into my Facebook memory reminder today from 8yrs ago. The Heavy Metal wheelchair user in the video I knew as CrippledCyclist on Twitter, actual name Richard Bennett. He passed away suddenly at home 3yrs ago & greatly missed by the cycling & disabled youtu.be/r4jDa4Rz2KU?...

Motorists - happy to put others in danger due to their actions but not themselves

Imagine the level of depravity a cyclist would have to stoop to in order to get a life sentence under proposed changes to the law. Seriously, how can THIS type of dangerous driving only get 11 years? Yet, we’re supposed to believe that a cyclist might get life for killing a pedestrian??

Look at this carnage on our roads. The life years lost is horrendous. The perpetrators will not have intended to kill these people, but it's the result of societal indifference to the danger posed by motor vehicles. Ultimately because governments refuse to address road safety.

I love my echo chamber where everyone values the humanity of other people and enjoys the arts.

Careless driving apparantly www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Does anyone honestly think a cyclist would get away with no prison time if they used this excuse? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

No doubt. The bias against cyclists is pretty evident. But let’s see what happen when a cyclist says “the sun was in my eyes”. If they get away with it I’ll concede that cyclists are receiving no favourable treatment.

It’s rare to see someone genuinely dumfounded. It’s crazy that it seems that this had never occurred to him

I don’t really see the issue. Just say the sun was in your eyes. Problem solved

🚨 Elon Musk is responding to Tesla's HISTORIC sales crash by cutting back his government role. A lot has changed since we started being told to f*ck off out of Tesla stores 10 weeks ago. Watch out billionaires, the people are coming x

Remember, Paris wasn’t “always this way.” Not that many years ago, Paris was choking in car traffic. And it wasn’t a safe place to ride a bike for transportation, so not many people tried. This is new. This is a result of deliberate vision, and bold leadership. Cities are a result of choices.

Thinking about cycling to The Netherlands. And by that I mean cycle to Harwick (80miles) jump on the ferry and cycle to Amsterdam, grab a coffee and cycle home. Probably a 3-5 day getaway. Anyone ever done anything similar?

“Grab him by the TESLACLES” is pretty good. My photo from #handsoff rally DC.

Come smash a Tesla up to raise money for food banks. Introducing London vs Musk: a one of a kind art piece where you can - safely & legally - smash the utter f**k out of a Tesla. 🧵
