I sometimes think that everything is sorted and well. There now is no need to campaign for equality or to even celebrate what has been achieved because, well, everything is equal, nice, and everyone is open minded, respectful and gets along with each other, right? This is not the case. During the latter event I […]
My blog posts are like buses. You wait for ages for one to come along and then two come along at once. Like my previous blog post, I went to Parliament again. But this time to attend a UNISON reception to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the introduction of the minimum wage and to launch […]
For the past year and a bit, as with most things, I start and then I pause and then continue and then pause, and then forget. I have the energy (pun intended) to do and to create but I spread it so thinly that often the results are questionable at best. It makes me feel […]
Yesterday I attended the National Funeral for the Unknown Cyclist and the first UK pedal on Parliament organised by group Stop Killing Cyclists. It has been in my calendar for months and months. I really wanted to go but owing to some important matters at home, I nearly didn’t attend. I am pleased I nipped down […]
The sun is finally here. I have been waiting for such a long time for better weather. Cycling in the wind, rain, sleet or snow is not the best. But I don’t let it put me off. The sun is now beating down, with clear blue skies, and no wind and it makes me feel […]
This is a personal page. If you have stumbled upon it, feel free to read on as you won’t find anything here that you shouldn’t. In fact, it will do anyone a benefit to understand all of laws, guidance, and rules to do with cycling. I have collated these into one handy page, more suited […]
Just a quick post. Today I received my poll card. I will be voting in the General Election on Thursday 8th June 2017. You have the power to make your voice heard. Please do not aimlessly complain if you haven’t voted or voted for the party which has negatively impacted on what you are complaining […]
*Note: editing to be done soon* As I have become more and more interested in road safety, my attention has focussed on the ways in which we get about. Less than one hundred years ago, transporting ourselves 50 miles was a bit of a mission – it needed to be planned and a bit of […]
It’s killing you. Two of my interests are the protection of our environment and cycling so one particular topic that pops up on my radar time and time again is that of air pollution. A year ago I went on a protest against the wider issue of climate change entitled “Time to Act“. It […]
We planned to cycle from Wellingborough to the south coast but we ended up taking our bicycles on the trains. We had a ‘Cycling’ holiday. On Wednesday 17th June, Seb and I got the train down to Southampton with a stop off at London St. Pancras and short cycle to Waterloo. In retrospect, I am […]
Hello! It’s been a long time since I last blogged. It’s been ever longer since I last vlogged. What’s going on?! That will soon change. Especially when I hit the ‘Publish’ button on here. A vlog is in the works. Well . . . kind of. Anyway: Today I want to talk about a fly-on-the-wall […]
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.
