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 […]
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 voice record my most recent blog entry. I haven’t updated my website for months but finally I have pushed out a piece. I am back! In recent news I have moved up to Nottingham. I was invited to a Mayday event at my local pocket park and I suddenly decided to record, edit […]
I’m back! Finally I have posted here on my website after months and months of absence. Lots has happened and lots will happen. The biggest news is that I have moved to Nottingham! I’m so pleased. I’m certain I will backfill this blog but I needed to post right now otherwise more and more months […]
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 […]
I meant to finish and publish this piece soon after the 2nd October. It is now November 10th. Ouch. I kept putting off finishing it and eventually it fell down my to-do list and almost fell off. Ohhhh. I thought to myself as I began composing this post over a month ago, that you […]
Whilst studying at the University of Nottingham, I became a cyclist. My daily “commute” to university was initially on a mountain bicycle which was replaced a few times and eventually became a dropped handlebar, thinned tyre pedal machine. Towards the end of my degree, I set myself, at the time, the adventurous challenge of cycling […]
The month of January is about to end; the first month of the year of 2016 gone. How did that happen? I’ve “done” January. The year of 2015 was very eventful. But I want to make 2016 even more so. The first month was a relaxed one, but still quite eventful and now I feel […]
