I called bullshit and ended the call

Very odd call from Sky, trying to upgrade me to Sky Sports because that now includes cycling. I didn't believe him. Anyone else heard this

Thankfully, Not much need to report bad driving lately but this one is going straight to the Met.

It's not particularly busy in the bike fixing world at the moment. However I've had to turn down three jobs recently because they were conversations. Even if they were legal (!), I have to certify that the changes are safe if I work on it in any way.

It's Sunday so I'm not expecting a response. Rob is playing again tomorrow so hopefully they can squeeze me in

Sitting down to listen to the new @robertplant.com album and my amp has died. I was supposed to be going to see him tonight but @banquetrecords.com seem to have lost my ticket order

If the Europeans start winning the golf this weekend, what are the odds they are rounded up by ICE? #RyderCup2025

Air compressor or an air cylinder. Large air volume quickly is the key

I think the French have made it a requirement that supermarket car parks are covered in panels

At the beach in Cornwall lots of tattooed ladies and the faces of their dogs seems to be a popular image.

It's only been 13 years since I started a campaign to make the area 20mph. It's great to see the signs finally going up this morning!

Wine and gin may have been involved

Weekend highlights;
my wife getting a black eye cutting her toenails.
My son pulling the barmaid at the pub across the road.
Low lights my son discovering that DI2 cables can come undone in the middle of race

To be fair, motor cars are a bit of a new fangled invention for the people of Guernsey. They aren't sure they are going to catch on.

I'm all for choice when it comes to helmets and riding bikes. But if you're a teenage boy and you're riding down red runs at @swinleymtb that choice should be clear!

Quiet day in the bike fixing world. I'm going to escape the heat and head to the forest and do some MTB trails at Swinley.

I was disturbed to find out how little many people knew about the highway code and speeding in general. Old biddy saying "they keep changing the HWC, how am I supposed to know?" πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ.
At least an online theory test before you renew your licence every 10yrs

So here I am at my "speed awareness course". I'm easily one of the youngest. Overhearing the pre-course lounge chat, plenty of things marked off on my bingo card

Last night's @bbcnewsuk.bsky.social 10pm carried a story about a man charged with two counts of rape. Out of the 200 SA per day in the UK, what propelled this one to the flagship news slot? Was he famous, or was it racist rage baiting?

Yep, ideally I'd replace them. CX bike so they get trashed anyway

Badly worn bike disk brake pads

Badly worn bike disk brake pads
