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. […]
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 […]
With a coldness in the air and an ever increasing desire to turn on my central heating, it is certainly now October. September is over and in this blog post I shall put together a little photo review of the month gone by. As always I have been cycling a lot. And as I have […]
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 […]
I am sure it was just the 1st August a couple of days ago. We are now approaching the end of the month. I am not sure how it happened. To keep up the consistency of posting with my month review in photos, here is the slightly delayed review of July 2024. To begin creating […]
Delay. Ahhh. I blinked and one week has passed. I am away this Saturday too. I imagine I will publish this on the 9th. This being the case, that’s roughly 44% of the year gone. This month I started, albeit briefly, to try to wake up earlier. I got stuff done before the day started. […]
A story from last year. “Oh bollards,” or, more likely something stronger, slipped out of my mouth when I was cycling through Croyland Park in Wellingborough and was presented with a new barrier completely blocking my path. Through a rather lengthy campaign, I got North Northants Council to replace their recently installed barrier, which completely […]
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, 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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
In this recording, I talk about the first ever Kidical Mass ride in Nottingham that took place on Sunday 23rd April.
We now have a new council – the North Northants Unitary and May 6th presents an opportunity to vote in a better solution in Wellingborough and North Northamptonshire. With services all controlled by one authority, our overall travel and transport strategy can be unified and can be so much better if it becomes Labour controlled. […]
Here I talk about Wellingborough’s first ever Critical Mass. There is a collection of photos and videos on the blog. I talk about the event itself and how it came into being.
Back on Friday 31st July 2020, Wellingborough held its first ever Critical Mass. What follows is collection of photos and videos from the day. It was such a massive success. At its peak, there were 67 people cycling in one big group. As I have watched some of the videos back, it seemed […]
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.
