A few pics from this week's commute. Finally riding home in the sunshine for what feels like months. #tern #orox #sheffield #wharncliffewood

Now this is another level insane, this car was blocking the hyper acute stroke entrance at our local hospital. But it's okay, they had taken the time to put their blue badge out...

Attending a cat 2 job (time critical, life threatening) stopped by a neighbour for ruining their grass, wanted to question me on how much of an emergency I was on. Yeah I could have parallel parked but I can't do it without a banksman which just adds time. It's not his grass btw, it will regrow.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

It turns out being dangerously close passed by an ambulance that you know is going on fox valley standby, works wonders for your Strava times. #shouldknowbetter

I was offered a line of coke while on shift this evening. Sometimes it's just nice to be asked right?

More thoughts on the ambulance service. I witnessed probably the most horrific scene ever yesterday and the only thing bothering me is that it doesn't bother me, which bothers me... It's the second time I've attended a job like this with the last one being almost identical.

Who needs bungee straps when you have a helper. She held onto it all the way to the bike shop (about a mile) hopefully it's not going to be too costly to get the spoke replaced. #tern #orox #leavethecarathome #ebike #cargobike

Pushing my bike out of the coop when I heard a massive bang and air leaking. Thankfully Peaty's biofiber sealed the tape and I was able to ride home without adding any air. #peatys #tubeless #peatysbiofiber

I was hoping to ride to royston vasey (hadfield) today but totally forgot to charge the bike, still, 40km with 750m elevation wasn't too bad on a half charge. Managed to get to the highest point of the Trans Pennine trail. #tern #orox #maxxis #peatys #tubeless #cargobikelifecom #haulornothing

To me this really feels like peak America right now, radicalised against immigration but not toxic car culture. I'm sure this isn't representative of the nation as a whole, but is sure look like it from a far. x.com/thecavedaddy...

Noooo, ended up walking home last night 😔 my front spider keeps clicking, I have to remove, lube and refit the spider each time and the noise goes for about 500mile. Last time I over torqued the lock nut by 5nm and the threads have stripped. This is the second time it's pulled through 🙄 ahh well.

The clicking is back 😭 3rd time now, each time all I need to do is whip the spider off, grease and reassemble but it's such a pain in the arse. #tern #orox #cargobike #cargobikelife
