I needed two door stops. Why pay for a new one? Given away for free on Olio. #circulareconomy Plus lovely house frontages with no cars!

Choose your weapon. Swing around a knife and kill? Swing around a car and kill? You get off lighter using a car than using a knife. 10 years. I cycle this route nearly every day. This news hit differently. www.nottinghampost.com/news/notting...

Last night with @NottsFR ♥️ #notts #nottingham #running

Wonderful food collection tonight. All free! Food which ran out of date so cannot be sold and would get thrown away. Perfectly edible for a few more days. Download the Olio app!

Yesterday was National Pizza Day. So we made pizzas.

The first ANPR enforcement in Nottingham! All too often drivers sneak into high pedestrian zones and carry out other contraventions of the law. Very pleased this is coming. More enforcement cameras needed! www.transportnottingham.com/anpr-enforce...

Look who I just saw! Childhood memories came flooding back. #Chucklevision

If you have cameras, report any dangerous close passes and misbehaviours to the police. More reports, more drivers are punished, more behaviour should change. dashcamupload.notts.police.uk Driver will either get a letter, sent on a course, fine/points / court. youtu.be/_erXiY8yA_E #nottingham

How did all these people get there?

Had a great @criticalmassnotts.bsky.social tonight #criticalmass #bikessrebest

Yesterday I saw this. The driver blared their horn whilst speeding up Sherwood Ride and then veered across on to the upcoming lane towards me, slowing suddenly. Falls far below competent driving. Were they drunk or on drugs? Only a few months ago someone was killed by a speeding driver close by.

It is Critical Mass this coming Friday! Never been on a ride before? Everyone is welcome for a slow ride around the city. Meet at 6.45pm by the cycle stands just across from The Bell Inn off Old Market Square. 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲 #nottingham

Anyone in Nottingham?

No one cycles when it's cold Cycling in London is predominantly men in Lycra Cyclists don't stop at red lights Oh wait

Incompetent driver has hit the traffic light on Castle Boulevard. #Nottingham #Incompetentdriver

Olio haul tonight. Free food! Love this app. Saves it from the supermarket chucking it away. Download it! #nottingham

And they say people don't cycle when it's icy! Look at this. Using the cycle infrastructure on Beechdale Road this morning. #cyclelane #cycleinfrastructure #nottingham

And with that the 2024 season comes to an end. I have seen many montages with a select few photos. I cannot narrow it down! Too many. Therefore here they all are! More on my blog www.samuelshoesmith.uk/2025/01/01/my-2024-review/

New Year's Day run. 14km run! Aimed to do 25km (for the 25th year) but my socks rubbed. It felt like a blister in the early stages. I took my socks off. Better for a couple of kilometres then pain. Wahhh. I had to get the tram back. Therefore Happy New Year 2014! Lol.

Happy New Year 2025! xx

On the final day of 2024, here is my December review blog. samuelshoesmith.uk/2024/12/31/m...

Every so often I just feel the urge to say it - build more zebra crossings.

Yesterday vs 18 years ago. #siblings

Merry Christmas Eve from me, Tiffany and Milo!

I'm a meme! Looking to watch a film? Documentary directed by Kevin Macdonald. Premiered in 2013. How Britons spend their Christmas Day. I feature in it! For 2 seconds. samuelshoesmith.uk/2022/12/18/c... youtu.be/Od1WIDxl44Y?... #christmas #christmasinaday

Replace with DRIVERS and CARS. "Locally, we've received reports of people having to jump out of the way of riders travelling at high speed in the city centre. "Clearly that's unacceptable and that is why we are clamping down of the illegal use of e-scooters and e-bikes" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#Parkrun at #ForestRec #Nottingham in 25 minutes and 40 seconds. #running #active

Integrated National Transport Strategy. Consultation launched. #callforideas #consultation #pavementparking #connectedness #trafficlights

This just came up on my phone as a "Breaking News" story. @bbcbreaking-bot.bsky.social why are you so outdated? It's collision.

Parkrun today at Forest Rec. A cold, wet and windy run! 🏃🏻‍♂️ 00:26:26 #nottingham #forestrecreationground #parkrun

New blog post. My November in photos. www.samuelshoesmith.uk

No mention about him permanently losing his licence. Why? If you speed down a road, get upset when someone tells you to slow down in a heavily pedestrian area, start a fight and then use the car as a weapon you should never drive again. #Nottingham www.nottinghamshire.police.uk/news/notting...

Happy Sustainable Transport Day! Travel the best ways - by bicycle, bus, tram, train or by foot! It keeps the air clean, reduces congestion and helps tackle climate change! PS. I love Nottingham's integrated transport systems.

One way to get around the ban on the tram. Remove the ban for responsible dog owners #Nottingham #tram

All this for free! If you have never used Olio before, I strongly recommend it! Download the app. So much stuff is thrown away that's perfectly fine to use! (PS. I'm still a vegetarian. I have the meat to my friend). #olio #saveitfromthebin #redistribute
