On Friday I took part in Critical Mass. I met Tom at Hyde Park and we cycled to meet his friend, Felix and his friend, Thomas and then onwards to roughly assemble for around 7pm. At 7.15pm the mass rolled out. The 1000 odd cyclists that take part in Critical Mass is a spectacle. Despite […]
Hello, Recovering from the tail end of a light cold reminded by an intermittent tickling cough, and listening to the rain as it patters down on my bedroom window, here I reflect on a wonderful few days a week ago. On Tuesday 21st I got the train down to London, bicycle in tow. From St. […]
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 […]
I took part in the World Naked Bike Ride in central London. Yesterday Tom and I met on Blackfriars Bridge, hired our bicycles and headed to Clapham Junction. Assembling at 2pm, numbers were scarce, so we headed to a lovely little cafe for about 40 minutes. Back in plenty of time for applying some body […]
On Friday 24th April, Seb and I cycled from Wellingborough to London. It was a long and hard journey totalling 90 miles. We were shattered. After much deliberation, umming and ahhhhing we finally left Wellingborough just after 10.30am. Last year I bought a Garmin device for my bicycle. It records all kinds of information. We […]
On Saturday 7th March, Tom and I took part in the #TimeToAct2015 protest. What wonderful day! I felt so relaxed and at such ease with myself. The lovely warm and sunny day may have helped – perhaps ironically I was enjoying a bit of a sign of climate change?! It felt as if we were on […]
Hello, Yesterday I took part in London’s Critical Mass. As always, it was superb. The atmosphere was amazing. This is the third consecutive month, before that I was working the day in June, and back in May I took part in Nottingham’s Critical Mass. After a couple of hours we stopped outside Buckingham Palace and […]
Yesterday I cycled 85 miles ish from Wellingborough to London! I forgot to check my odometer as I arrived and only checked it after I took part in Critical Mass. I met up with Tom and then we all cycled for hours. I left around 10.50pm. All in all, yesterday I travelled 111 miles, for […]
Better late than never! I have finally got round to editing together all of the footage I had taken during the World Naked Bike Ride in London. It took place on Saturday 14th June which was, coincidentally, the Queen’s Birthday Parade. My friend and I went down to London and naturally went to watch the […]
On Friday 14th June I will be riding a bicycle through central London with no clothes on. I’ll be taking part in the annual World Naked Bike Ride. It’s a ride against oil dependency, against car culture, for the love of the body and for cycling safety. I’ll be using this as an opportunity to […]
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.
