CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@cainmark

Back home after my 52km bike ride. It's seriously breezy out there - more so than I expected. Plus, I must have planned the route to include every hill in south Leicestershire! Still, it's completed and it's within time, so I can submit it for validation as a #AudaxUK BP ride. My first in a couple of decades (I need to check that).Now, I'm absolutely knackered. #Cycling #BikeTooter #Audax #Leicestershire

@meganL @pete

@Zygos Fortunately I noticed in time and I wasn’t even close to crashing. Could definitely have been much worse!

Seemed appropriate to stop and take a photo op at this particular mural in #Chemainus showcasing the timeless benefits of #bicycles from this historical recreation of the towns history. #Cowichan #cycling #vancouverIsland#gobybike #bikelife #streetart

'Zero arrests from 106 hit-and-runs on cyclists in London last year, as cycling campaigners slam “completely unacceptable” figures'https://road.cc/news/zero-arrests-from-106-hit-and-runs-on-cyclists-in-london-last-year-as-cycling-campaigners-slam-completely-unacceptable-figures#London #Cycling Campaign: “One of the reasons behind hit-and-runs is the existence of unregistered or uninsured vehicles or drivers. The police can take action to reduce this by using the cameras that they have up on the roads and taking those vehicles off the roads."#RoadViolence #RoadDanger #UK #bikeTooter #law #motorists

#UnitedKingdom #UK “Almost 3 in 10 drivers say they are #cycling or #walking as an affordable alternative to driving, according to a YouGov survey commissioned by #CyclingUK” “The research suggests the impact is falling unevenly. #Women are more likely than men to reduce their journeys … #Women are also more likely to report being prevented from making everyday trips” “People need to travel and they need to be able to do this affordably” https://road.cc/news/rising-fuel-costs-increase-cycling-and-walking

@Zyfdnug Okay, nicht falsch verstehen: Ich bereite meine Touren auch in erster Linie mit externen Tools vor. Aber beim Karoo scheitert es schon am Offline-Import der Daten. Was der gut konnte, war z.B. das Zurückführen zur Route. Führung durch die Route verstehe ich auch als Navigation.

@BarbChamberlain maybe something along the Palouse to Cascades trail?

@robchapman @WTL @jessrawk I’m just wanting to get our zero gravity chairs out back- likely by next weekend!

@Zygos must every waterfront trail have jagged, flesh-tearing features to land on? 🫤#biketooter #seaBikes

Yes another trip to a Premier Inn via some different roads courtesy of @bikerouter New rack worked very well - seems to have survived the terrible road surfaces. Lots of greenways today and some faster but quite quiet secondary roads.#cycling #BikeTooter

"Pedaling hard reminds this monkey of when the vines run out and you just have to commit."

@clarissawam now that’s a cool bug.

@howisyourdog Yes Peckleton is one of my favourite villages. There's a couple of very nice walks around there - easy enough for my wife - we did them several times during lockdown times. There's a sunken lane round the back of the church which is only passable in very dry weather. The pub became an Indian restaurant and is now a private house.If I could move there I certainly would (but I'll never have that sort of money!)

Belgian Competition Authority fights the UCI on Maximum Gear Ratio Protocol"Either way, this case could send echoes around the world of sport as a whole. A national authority has proven it's possible to issue injunctions against an international governing body, and that could be transformative."#Cycling https://www.cyclingnews.com/pro-cycling/sram-doubles-down-on-its-argument-against-the-ucis-gear-restriction-test-as-case-is-heard-in-the-court-of-appeal/
