I must have missed this at the time - came looking as I was wanting to get a better camera ๐Ÿ˜ข

Sorry to hear the news - some people really are rubbish.

But any chance of a link or just a description so I can source one from elsewhere (clearly if you were still selling Iโ€™d buy from you)?

I reckon Yates would still have won, given the huge benefit he got from WvA, and how he was riding, but it would have made it more interesting!

Iโ€™m no good at identifying them, but have seem quite a few.

Ah so that was that noise we heard, the ghosts of countless alchemists who had spend their lives trying to make gold, cheering all at once ;)

Perfect timing passing under the Severn Valley Railway viaduct on the Staffs and Worcs canal. Fresh out of the Worcestershire County Council AGM.

This is the really frustrating bit for me. Given decent lighting levels I donโ€™t have any problem with reading normal text without glasses.

Did you ever get Aidan to explain exactly what problem he has with his skin?

On the whole I prefer "I'm not a cyclist but" comments.

Such a survey feeds the culture war - you're part of the problem.

What proportion of road policing resources do you think should be allocated to policing cyclists?

A bit of information to help you out with this - less than 1% of deaths and serious injuries on the roads are caused by cyclists.

Our local bus service's new hire training includes cycling on a street while busses drive past. They are, on the whole, reassuring to share the road with.

Maybe she has a different attitude to me - the whole point is to talk to people!

I probably should go out and knock on some more doors...

(Unfortunately I don't think your address is on my canvass list)

Strange.

You'll only get one of mine if I (or somebody else on the team) has knocked (or rung) and not got an answer. Sloppy to just post without knocking.

Still getting used to the idea of calling myself a "politician" though as I'm very new to this!

Ah, thanks for the clarification - Iโ€™m not a golfist.

I understand the running and cycling bits, but youโ€™re referring to some other sport there Iโ€™ve never head ofโ€ฆ

Iโ€™ve found lots of wood which is already old enough not to need months of seasoning. Most of whatโ€™s currently on my roof has been there for over a year though (mostly what came down the river in the floods at the end of 2023).

Iโ€™m surprised youโ€™re not foraging for free wood
