The 9th Kidical Mass Nottingham ride took place on Sunday 1st June 2025. What a brilliant ride! A few joined us after we set off. Our first ride started off with about 35 people and the rides since saw numbers grow and grow with the last couple getting 70. This ride had a grand total […]
Today was another Kidical Mass ride and what a success it was! The joy on the riders’ faces and nearly all spectators’, except a couple of momentarily delayed drivers, was glowing! At today’s ride, we had a turnout of 50! All of our last 7 rides before this have been superb. Considering it was the […]
Back on Saturday 22nd June 2024, the 7th Kidical Mass Nottingham took place! As per most of the others, I have created a photo / video blog post here. I have usually posted the others within days but this one I haven’t got around to doing. Life comes at you fast. With a busy time […]
Yesterday Kidical Mass Nottingham returned! Eager to bring this back this year after a successful 5 rides in 2023, I found out about the Safe Streets Now group. They were organising a campaigning day of action so a series of Kidical Mass rides were set to take place around the country on one particular day. […]
The Sunday before last was the fourth Kidical Mass Nottingham ride. At the beginning of this year, the ride was only a concept in my mind but through planning, organisation and promotion, I rolled it out and brought together such a successful and growing group ride. This 4th ride was slightly different as the we […]
On the Sunday 18th June it was the second Kidical Mass Nottingham! The first ride was well attended despite a rainy morning so this time, with word getting out and the weather being on our side, 55 people attended! It was so heartwarming to see so many families being able to cycle around our city. […]
Yesterday was the very first Kidical Mass cycle ride! I wanted to launch Kidical Mass here in Nottingham after deciding towards the end of last year that we needed a family oriented ride on a weekend day. In collaboration with the North South Active Travelway (NSAT), I pushed the idea of a family ride and […]
In this recording, I talk about the first ever Kidical Mass ride in Nottingham that took place on Sunday 23rd April.
A short write up of my 2025 with my cycling and running stats. Also a photo view of the year.
Last year, and for each year right back to 2016, around the final day of the year or beginning of the next, I have written a yearly blog post review and selected a lot of photos. I would always underestimate how long it would take and end up, rather bizarrely, getting stressed. This year, I decided […]
October whizzed by. It is now November?! Below are some photo highlights from the month. A busy month, as always. Cycling as much as ever. This month I had two bicycle punctures. I haven’t had one for ages. It may be the time of year or it may be that my tyre is wearing out. […]
Dear Diary, As the moment I am writing this, 33% of 2024 is complete. My new habit that has formed this year is writing a blog post every month. It’s mainly a place I can mass upload lots of photos from the month some seeming quite meaningless but all meaningful to differing degrees. For someone […]
Wooah. That took a while. I have spent some time on the very last day of 2023, and in truth a few days after, reflecting on the year gone by. The main way this was done was by looking at all of the photos I have taken from the year. There were a lot of […]
This weekend just gone I was cycling everyday. It worked out that two cycling events fell on the Friday and Saturday and I arranged for the Sunday. Opps. Lots of pedalling! I was a bit tired towards the end of it, but each event is all about enabling and encouraging people to cycle so it […]
This weekend it was Critical Mass Nottingham, Derby and Kidical Mass. Lots of cycling!
It is well documented that I love cycling. I cycle all of the time. As we entered 2019, looking for a way of volunteering, I combined it with an activity I love and have decided to hold group cycle events. The aim is to encourage people to get out and cycle. On either Saturday or […]
I talk about joining a running group - Nottingham Frontrunners. A little of my history of getting into running and how Parkrun and Frontrunners have become a set part of my week.
