Getting home from the Velo-City conference in Gdańsk was not easy. Due to a railway strike I stranded in Utrecht. Left my luggage there and got an OV-Fiets, (a single speed, backpedal brake bike) and cycled the 55km in the burning sun at 32 degrees C.

Took a long time to get a response from my MP but... I'm actually impressed that it isn't parroting the usual BS we've heard from other Labour figures. Actually had some faith restored in them. Reply in following posts:

Dropped $183 on groceries today. Hurts a little less knowing the trip didn’t cost me gas, maintenance, or a future repair bill on the car. Errands by bike save money in ways you don’t notice, until you’re staring down a mechanic’s invoice.

Another busy week and it's been hot, so this is just the ticket. Next week is much calmer and I might even get a couple of afternoons off! How was your week?

Ah, #Cycleway1, the gift that just keeps on giving. Who thought it would be a good idea to have a blind turn with neither party having to give way? Perhaps TfL can tell us, seeing as how they funded this crap.
