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 […]
This coming Friday, the 31st July 2020 it is Wellingborough’s first ever Critical Mass. This is a big group cycle ride to celebrate cycling but also to protest for change. This morning I was on BBC Radio Northampton (@2:11:39) to discuss cycling in Wellingborough. Yesterday I did the same for the BBC News website. At […]
Every year since 2014, I have cycled in the London part of the World Naked Bike Ride. This year, like usual, I stripped off and cycled in the capital back on Saturday 8th June 2019 with hundreds and hundreds of other cyclists. But this year, on the following day I then cycled in the Brighton […]
I often start my Happy New Year post by saying the year just gone has been “great”, “special” or even “wonderful”, but 2018 has been marked by a devastating loss and it has overshadowed the good times. However, these good times do need to be revisited as now is the time to reflect on the […]
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 […]
I haven’t posted here on my website for so long. Crryyyy. Why? I don’t know. Well, I do. I have been doing things. Ok, that sounds loose. And the other reason is that I always think that producing anything takes so long. Imagine the editing and editing and editing that goes into producing anything […]
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 […]
On the last day of every year I write down my New Year’s Resolutions. The list is usually quite long. Most of them are quite vague – such as “be happy”, “be content”, but some are more direct. “Make more videos” – although still slightly vague – the fact is, more than 0 is 1, […]
Happy New Year everyone! It is now 2018! Wooah. 2017 was generally a great year! A few blips. Enormous thanks go to everyone who made it wonderful and supported me. I am someone who really focusses on connections. An act, gesture, or spoken word, even if it was tiny, would have really made an impact. […]
On Wednesday 19th April 2017 I cycled to Peterborough and back. I touch type. As I talked about my journey, I typed what I said. I of course went back and re-read it a few times. I made a few edits. I decided to then voice record it. When I listen back to it in […]
This video is entitled “How to be good in a big metal box”. These past few days have been glorious. The sun has been shining and the wind has been low which means it has been perfect cycling weather. Despite feeling very happy I had a few moments of sadness. In this video, I show […]
I had a bloody good time. On Saturday 11th February I was scheduled to work and did everything I could to get the day off. I managed it. The week before I had met up with Tom who had said about the idea of doing a Spoons bar crawl. That Saturday was also the day […]
Happy New Year everyone! 2016 was a pretty great year for me. A huge thank you to everyone who made it wonderful. Life can be taken so fast so it’s important to grasp it and enjoy it. Live it! Carpe diem. YOLO. I shall make 2017 a special one. The plans on how to do […]
Today marks the day that 20 years years ago I buried a time capsule at Wilby School. I talk about it and share some memories. It made me wonder what makes me me?
