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. […]
Dear Diary, I am typing this at the end of the first day of April. We are somehow 25.1% of the way through the year of 2024. As per my new tradition, as with each month, so far, January and February, I now do a photo review. As each month passes, I look back which […]
Dear Diary, As with January, I have decided to review February and put some photos of the month here. It gives me a reason to reflect on the many photos I take. The way I have done it before with the yearly review means that because of the hundreds and hundreds of photos I have […]
Dear Diary, Quick update. Today is 32/366. 8.7% of the year is already complete. It feels like I have blinked and the month has gone but equally, as it is January, the month after festivities and extended break of Christmas, it seems to have lasted a long time. So far this month I have kept […]
Dear diary, I recently wrote about how this year I aimed to be active every day and was working so well with getting long walks, runs, the gym, cycles and even a swim in, but then on Friday 12th, I had a scheduled brain angiogram so all exercise stopped for a whole week afterwards. Crryyy. […]
Dear Diary, The first full week of 2024 has come to an end and I can safely say I have abided by one of my New Year’s Resolutions – to be more active. I did set numerous others which I have broken, including getting to bed earlier, he writes at 1.40am, but increasing my activity […]
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 […]
Today I ran my first ever Parkrun! I had heard about Parkruns for a few years and recently was inspired by my friend Simon, who said he partakes in his local one and does others in areas which he visits. Simon was actually planning on cycling here to do this one and I were to […]
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 […]
If only I could understand how my mind works. I posted an incredibly late review of my 2021 on the very last day of 2022 and thought to myself that with this new “do it” attitude it would mean that within a few days I would then upload the more recent photos from the year […]
Did I intend to publish this just about 365 days ago? Yes, I did. “Oh I’ll write this tomorrow,” I thought to myself. Tomorrow became next week and then it never came about. There’s always something else to do. Ahhhh. I just managed before the end of 2021 to make a monumental move into my […]
New powers to improve safety on Nottingham’s roads? I have long called for further enforcement of both moving and parking offences. I read about the idea of moving moving traffic offences from the hands of the police to councils a couple of years ago. Legislation has finally passed meaning it is now a possibility. With […]
A few weekends ago was Nottinghamshire Pride. I had such a brilliant and action packed weekend and I wanted to write about it here. It was my first one as a resident of Nottingham. The fact I could go back to my home comforts for a bit of a rest, to recharge myself and my […]
Here I talk about my 2023 year. A brief thematic chronological discussion about my 2023, reasoning why I take so many photos, about discussion about my cycling and my activity trends.
