What is it with people mounting the kerb with nearside front wheel to park? Reverse parking is becoming a lost skill with drivers.

This dog in what I believe (hope) is his happy place... On a bike, on my back, with a ball, en route to the beach. Now measuring in Smiles Per Ride (SPR)

Snow plough, fire pit and cargo bike = win

At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years. Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.

The community-led campaign to revive @TynemouthPool, on the lovely Longsands beach, will step up a gear this year, with community events planned to celebrate its 90th anniversary. #LoveLidos 🩵 tynemouthoutdoorpool.com

Best part of bike to work day today was this puppy in a cargo bike.

G'day little green shoots, glad you could make an appearance. Am quite over this winter.

i don’t think we realize just how MASSIVE things in space are

The only thing better than a protected bike lane, is a protected bike lane with streetart and murals on the barriers.

Hashers doing their thing or really bad street work utility markings...

Do not mess with librarians. They let complete strangers borrow their books. For a living. Even the hardcovers. They are so much stronger than you know.

Chess is good on so many levels. Sociable, switch off, strategy, fun. Our local cafe has a chess night once a month. Also our dog hasn't learnt to play yet so I'm good for a while.

my cousin went to australia for a month and brought me back some coffee beans, and now i'm weeping over a flat white and texting her about the foods we miss, like food court seafood soup. apparently those sushi rolls are STILL $2 13 years later! WILD. anyway, drew this years ago. still relevant.

A rare catch-up with my sis visiting from down under. She's awesome. Plus lengthy discussion of lack of chicken salt in the north east. I'm on it.

This is Tux. He is the cutest black hole we have ever seen. And we thought you should see him too. 12/10

57 ads during 2025 Superbowl. One year, wouldn't it be great to see ads for walking shoes, a cargo bike, bike buses and public transit? Just saying.... The Stella and Hellman's adds were good mind you. eu.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Lens facing up is the right way to dry swimming goggles yeah?

Yes, yes and yes 👇

The three notches on my fave belt literally showing combined effects of cycle commuting, better diet and a year off the alcohol.

Choose Bikes.

Mode shift / behaviour change win on the family chat group...

Broken the January drought here with a Friday book treat on the school run.

I don't know when this photo is from (1980s?), but I see the Cycle Centre in Byker, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK still exists. www.cyclecentreuk.co.uk

Waiting at temporary traffic lights in your car does not give an excuse to temporarily go on your mobile phone.

One of those days where bliss is found via tinned mackerel fillets in tomato sauce

I enjoyed the "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" from Jerry Seinfeld. Wonder how "Comedians in Cargo Bikes Getting Coffee" would have helped spread the love and change perceptions?

Back on the other place, I developed a thread about how pieces on child poverty were regularly illustrated with images of children playing in their neighbourhoods, yet play (deprivation) rarely features in mainstream discussions of child poverty. Here’s another example.

Local takeaway in rare alignment with celestial neighbour

Friends who bike & lock up together, stay together. 🚲 ❤️

last night was my first time experiencing TRUE dark skies. it was such an emotional experience and it made me hate light pollution even more.

Cheeky Sunday ride and cold teabag dip finishing with the a neck nuzzle on the way home from the hound.

We like to imagine that the Netherlands does better than us in securing children’s neighbourhood freedoms to move and play, but lots of Dutch play folk I’ve spoken to in recent years echo this story, that the Dutch also need to fight for space for children. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

My young lads a wee bit harsh with the renaming of the family profiles and especially mine on Netflix

Cycling with a hijab is a powerful symbol of freedom, resilience, and empowerment. On World Hijab Day, women around the world break stereotypes by embracing both their faith and their love for sports. My hijab, my bike, and my smile are all part of who I am.
