Can't imagine how someone would secure a Bullitt bike to that...

JFC. Those. Are. Horrific.

Exactly this!

"and it came out of nowhere!"

😅😅

I see the signwriters have been round...

There's just too much to worry about these days - either at a personal macro level or panoramic global perspective. My life has been chaos the past 5 years. I find half a day on my allotment, accompanied by the resident inquisitive foxes, is a good mind-resetting tonic, in the absence of riding.

Biking round that insane square in the air!

All the good stuff in there 👌😎

Snap crackle pop - now I want a giant box of it!

Awesome trailage.

Integral anchor points for securing loads with cords and ratchet straps, would have been extremely useful. Instead, it was all too easy to end up with a cat's cradle of bungee cables. We fitted a flatbed of marine ply to the frames and drilled fixing points around the boarding...

Was diagnosed with high bad cholesterol (genetically). I began commuting by bike in 2010. I averaged riding 11,000km annually since - especially so during my courier years. The LDL dropped through constant activity/good diet. But's gone up the last 5 yrs during long term rehab from crash injuries.

Many thanks!

It wasn't the orginal paint, which was an indeterminate dark colour that had begun flaking off with age. After months of indecision over what colour, I chose that metalic green - purely because the sun happened to be shining directly on it in the powdercoater's samples display.

Any 'baby on board' sticker is a sure sign they're gonna be absolute dangers on the road. See also those with a Jesus 'fish' symbol on the tailgate.

It's brilliantly sunny azure-blue sky. I'm sat on grass having an early morning coffee, looking towards woodland. My bike is resting on the grass in front of me

Can't be doing with snark these days. It's neither big nor clever. Meanwhile, here's me being a proper bike bolshevik breaking all the rules by resting my bike on its drivetrain 🤪 😅

It's the kind of place I dream about. I could spend the rest of my days in a place like that.

Ode to riding your bike in the city YouTube video by Bikes, Books & Buildings

One of my favourite YT channels #bikesbooks&buildings drops a new video which is really cinematic. Set in #oslo #norway on his beautiful #rivendellclemsmithjrL . The close up of the #thumbshifters is sublime. Like the title,the video is a love letter to bike riding in the city.The art of observation

It's a winner for me too.

So much to like here...

FFS, the team cars aren't there to race each other round corners! If you can't recognise the dangers both drivers posed to watching fans then your judgement is a liability.

If the Forest bike rider was under age and 'not a normal user', it's going to be tricky getting compensation. Had the moterbiker who hit me not had insurance, I would have been royally stuffed.

For me, that's quite a shocking story. Amazed Forest don't have cover for liabilities like this -she'll need a lot of rehab with those injuries. I'm now up to £20k just for dental work alone, from a collision with a speeding motorbiker. Fortunately, the biker's insurance is covering that.

Yet another piece of car-brained thinking and lack of hazard perception right there with that 🤔

Soudal driver should have backed off with a crowd in front of him at the corner. Instead the red mist had him racing like a moron for the line round the corner. Team cars are there to support, not race.

Comrades: two wheels good, four wheels bad!!!
Seize the means - on a bike!!!

FFS, completely unacceptable and highly dangerous driving from both team cars there.

WOUT!!!!!!!!! 🥲 #ParisRoubaix

The UCI is an old boys' club. It needs a shake up.

A decade or so on, we're now seeing reactionary nonsense to new bike lanes and low traffic schemes here in London. It comes from a very loud shouty but small minority of mean-spirited contrarians who want to enshittify everywhere with cars and like taking nice safe enviroments away from people.

The key impetus came from the Stop de Kindermoord movement protesting rising deaths of pedestrians and cyclists - particularly of children - caused by motor vehicles. The protests combined with the '73, and later '79 oil crisis, made decision makers see dependence on motor vehicles as a liability.
