I have been de-squeaked (I needed new pedals) and have a clean bill of health.

I wish we could have cycle paths like this between villages here in the UK. Often only a few miles away but only dangerous roads with no pavements between them. Villages have become islands of social isolation where teenagers can’t be independent and those that don’t drive are trapped.

It could be. I'll make sure it gets mentioned when I'm booked in on Monday.

Last week, we were behind someone whose brakes sounded like someone being tortured. Rosamundi told them to get the bike serviced immediately as it wasn't safe.

Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:

Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

I look the same but my panniers are different, and I've had new brakes.

She could have posted a nice picture of me for #SundayPixWheels, but she didn't, so here I am with all her shopping from the nice alcohol-free drinks place.

Um. Hang on, that doesn't sound right.

Hello mobility campaigners - have you ever tried to create online content that tells the story of why we need traffic measures, what the measures available are, stats, real-world quotes? If yes, would love to get in touch.

Lots of people and bikes and London Cycling Campaign hi-viz. The red looping arch of the Orbit on the background.

I'd rather be on the sofa in my slippers, but no, here we are, on another bloody protest ride.
