Word of the day is ‘whiffling’ (17th century): fickle, inconstant, and making it up as you go along.

Back home from Etihad for 5:41 after staying to clap our players off. There was me and a chap on a Beryl comfortably sharing 110 years between us absolutely bombing it through the city centre. Check out my ride on Strava: strava.app.link/whDKqHtS0Qb

In places where cycling is a viable means of transportation, it is also a viable means of socialization; a collective rather than individualistic pursuit. So if your city vetoes conversational cycling—through the design of its infrastructure or policy—don’t be surprised if it remains a fringe mode.

I know it's only one day, but it's a rare day of success in my battle with the squirrel for bird seed supremacy. For once I can sleep well.

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.

In the not too distant future, cities traffic will be mainly made up of journalists attempting to drive SUVs through cities for clickbait headlines. We need to talk about journalism and the transition to efficient urban transportation.

But hang on, I read all over the news last week that there’s no way on earth this guy has Nazi sympathies, so what’s he doing addressing a Nazi rally? It’s a real head-scratcher! www.forbes.com/sites/tylerr...

Kudos to Camden Council for recognising the continuous rise in cycling in London and widening the cycle lane on Gordon Square. Despite 3 degrees this morning, damp and cold, cyclists remain undeterred. A resilient bunch.

My local Council has just announced that thanks to the best Government settlement they’ve had in years, they can reintroduce a free travel card for under 18s. Labour have been on the end of a load of newspaper criticism but this kind of thing goes unreported. Under the Tories, it was cut cut cut.

I doubt there's anyone still alive who will get this reference but I'm going to own up to it all the same, I'm sitting on standards committee tonight and I can't get out of my head, the song 'She moved the dishes first' by Supercharge.

Timoclea of Thebes throws man who raped her down a well. She next hurled in heavy stones until he was dead. Painted in 1659 by Elisabetta Sirani of Bologna, who had a thing for assertive heroines.

Welcome to @thewaroncars.bsky.social , @lyz.bsky.social ! I loved this piece. (And I love when my worlds collide - Lyz is an old friend.) It’s a powerful look at what it means to move through public spaces as a woman. A must-read for anyone who cares about safer, more inclusive streets.
