RE: https://rouge.eu.org/@jfparis/116636558911549251 I added a new sensor to #homeassistant for that purpose (I already had one for the lowest recorded temperature - for the ice warning in the morning)

29.0 °C already. That's 4°C more than this time yesterday. #ukheatwave

9:55am. Family is still sleeping and I am reading my cycling magazine in the garden, drinking coffee, listening to whatever tits chirping in a nearby tree. Solar panels are generating enough juice to charge the ebike battery so we can make our way to a cooler place this afternoon. Everything […]

With footie games starting at 9pm their is no real #biketooter value in the jamboree this summer (when it's day time there is at least a good time when you can go for a bike ride)

Good morning

Today I am testing my new heatwave automation for #homeassistant I used to shut the blinds down if the temperature inside was getting above a threshold. Now I shut them when the hourly outside temperature is forecasted to peak above 26. Then alerts us in the evening when we can open the windows

The sheep detectives was a very good movie

Getting my bum cooked by the saddle of the bike was not on my bingo card. At least made it to the cinema to enjoy the aircon whilst the heat peaks outside. #ukmayheatwave

The lego app (to control the little remote control car) wants to know my age.

I have just closed on 10 years of #bikecommute. A few highlights * £14.4k of savings (bus, train and tube fares avoided) * c. 1,600 days commuting (I did a bit of multimodal back at the beginning of 2023) * c. 3,000 commute legs * I got wet c. 4% of the time (double that if you count the days […]

1974 advert from @bikeleague.org

I ran into this "I know go better..." screenshot (TLDR appears to be fake so please don't spread) so I went to the source to look for it. This was wild. Beyond my craziest expectations.

I am off to bed early. Not sure how I will manage to sleep after that 200km of cycling. I have done as much recovery as I could so let's see #biketooter

That was hard work #biketooter

So, yesterday I had the pleasure (?) of using the Southern Rail service on the Three Bridges to London Victoria line. I had my full sized bike with me. On previous occasions, the bike carriage was indicated by a bicycle logo near the door, next to a wheelchair logo. On yesterday's train, the […]

I am not a lollipop person but I can relate https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2026/may/13/why-do-lollipop-people-face-so-much-road-rage #biketooter

Managed to get #matter #thread with the ikea dirigera talk to #homeassistant whilst being connected in a different VLAN I am mentally drained. Off to bed

The bike industry ignored dynamo lights for years – now they're finally going mainstream www.bikeradar.com/features/opi... Once the preserve of hardcore tourers and audax riders, the bike industry is finally taking dynamo lighting tech seriously

RE: https://rouge.eu.org/@jfparis/116552114047477409 If you just typed something in an AI and read/paste us the result, you should own it and introduce it as such

The one (new) thing driving me crazy are the folks that say/type : "I have done some research" and then copy past you the crap they got out their AI. I am usually pretty good at spotting it when it touches my domain of expertise as it is full of approximations and sometimes wrong. Then I […]

People seemed to like my modal filter with three parking spots, so I upgraded it to The Compromiser™ P12 "Deal With The Devil" Four-Way Modal Filter with twelve (12!) parking spots

Traditional #bikesatpollingstations

Twelfth time (all kinds of elections) I am voting in the UK and have been there nearly 20 years. I have always heard of those door stepping, public space campaigning, leafleting and I have yet to experience it. I have seen people doing from afar in Kingston upon Thames whilst riding a bike. That […]

Local libdem jumped the gun and send a "it's election day" email at 7am this morning ....

The one thing that really alleviate the pain of a day work trip to Paris is preserving my #bikecommute to the office in the morning/evening rather than having to take a taxi. I can take my shower there and the station is then 2 tube stops away

The one thing that amazes me is how my other half is envious of other parents driving their children around in cars whilst the same folks are envious of us not being stuck in traffic jams with them. #motornormativity

I didn't know those gigantic Jaecoo cars were called Jaecoo 7 and nicknamed "Teemu Range Rover". They were the most sold cars in March. £250 a month on 0% subsidised financing It's like putting the market for oversize blind spots ridden vehicles on steroids

Companies House could have saved themselves quite a bit of money on papers and stamps if they had let people provide their ID verification code at any time before a set deadline, rather than during a short 2 week window. I am sure there is some twisted logic to it I had my code since August […]

"wheel spunk" I will definitely reuse that expression #biketooter #tubeless

9am: #tubestrike has not started yet but the carpocalyspe is on. Lime apocalypse is also flaring up. I am definitely leaving late this evening to let the bulk of it flow After their PR stunt last week, I was expecting to see some plods on the cycle lane up Blackfriars or something but no […]

My dear and beloved call me super Mario when she sees me in my cycling bibs with my red cycling cap #biketooter

WITNESS APPEAL: Can you help identify a driver who hit a cyclist last week? One of our subscribers writes: “I was cycling down Queens Road from Richmond Gate last Wednesday 8th, around 4:45pm, when I collided with a car that turned, without indication, into the Pembroke Lodge car park. (1/4)

After years of hoping, I finally witnessed an #iped collision Both of them survived :)
