I’m a total data geek Prof Hannah Fry did an episode on her podcast about the worst 10 excel failures Featuring: the excuse for austerity, FBI tapping 1000 wrong phones and having to rename DNA sequences, because it was easier than stopping excel from autocorrecting them Can’t find the link

It’s not about anything as interesting as bike fitting Just an article on excel I was interviewed for Excel: The software that's hard to quit www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I knew I’d hit the gym hard for the first 2 sessions of 2026. I knew I hadn’t done enough exercise for the last few months I am physically unable to walk up and down stairs and don’t expect to be able to for several more days

Last week, Hovis bread filled the sandwich maker sideways. This week, they don’t #shrinkflation

I’ve been lent a long tail bike Q1: can it collect an entire Christmas of vegetables? Done #Linton #NotSureIfImBeingPaidOrJustCompt

In three to six months time, this set up will magically transform into a Fairlight Secan 3.0 in a 56T

I’ve fitted these friendly fellas to a couple of flat bar riders, especially for people who ride a mix of off and on road It allows you a more neutral wrist position on road, similar to that on a drop bar, while still accessing brakes and gears Switch back to the flats when the off-roading begins

When British Cycling declared their “official” definition of a woman, several cycling clubs stated their own position ICC, who I’m part of, created a joint statement with Velociposse, to say that everyone is welcome I’ve a similar statement on my website www.hackneybike.fit/diversity-va...

Heartwarming solidarity. When the country regains sanity & this unhinged moral panic blows over, we need to remember all the people who stood by us.

Cycling UK have recently stated that their annual 100 Women in Cycling award won’t include any trans women or non-binary Over 50 current nominees and previous winners have rejected or returned their awards. I know many of them personally I’m proud of my cycling sisters. All of them

Merry Christmas everyone Hope you’re having a spicy time #Gingerbread

Dale Vince was responding to Netanyahu’s statement, that the Australian PM was partly to blame for the terrible attack. Netanyahu had immediately jumped on this tragedy to score political points As a person of Jewish descent, I completely agree that Netanyahu’s genocide has made us less safe

I’ve been working a lot with Fairlight Cycles, who recommend people come to me for a fit before they order their bike This Saturday I had three Fairlight fits. Only one of them was through Fairlight. The other two mentioned social media @bikesbooksburritos.bsky.social @carlafrancome.bsky.social

When I got my COTIC I had a few initial issues with the frame size that might’ve been costly. Eyeing a new gravel so figured I’d get a proper bike fit. If you’re thinking of one you shd certainly consider Kate @bikefit.bsky.social V impressive service (and in awe of her rig!!) www.hackneybike.fit

“Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6km each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, annual carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes. This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.” @euronews.com

Just heard some magic words from my six year old “67 is really annoying” 🥳

Isn't it crazy when positive change seems possible!? 😀🤪🙌 Londoners have cycled & manifested HARD & @CityWestminster are delivering! Latest eg: the brand new Bayswater Road consultation, with kerbed protection for a vital East-West corridor. Full details & cyclist testimony⬇️

Because you might never see it again. Here’s me in a dress. At my birthday bash

I love the EU 🇪🇺 United Europe is a wonderful thing Even on the edge of it, we can bask in its reflected awesomeness

We’ve bought a Christmas tree. It was going to be a smaller tree, but this one is actually two trees stuck together. It’s a fricking double Christmas tree! I’ve never seen one so bushy 😅

Great fun working on this gorgeous S-Works today. Thanks Theo for bringing her in

So... yesterdays ride, 20km in zone 4, 30km in zone 2, and I feel like it was a rest day. Holy shit, a bike that actually fits comfortably makes higher volume so much easier. I definitely should have grabbed some clips from the side. Tomorrow's ride, if I remember

Chat GPT might actually be useful Our lovely Siamese x Bengal boy likes to spray in the house. A lot. He’s gorgeous but I hate our house smelling of cat piss My husband asked Chat GPT to be an animal psychologist and told it all about our cats issues We were told to shut away anything 1/

I’m not allowed to move

Went for a reflexology session in someone’s house today She has a female cat called Gary. Hard to express how much I love this Having someone play with your feet for an hour also rocks

If you live around Delaware and that Giant or Trek you got sold just doesn't feel right, pop over the river and hit up Halter's Cycles in New Jersey, they do proper bike fits!

I for one am COMPLETELY dumbfounded as to how Nigel Farage has swivelled from horrific poisonous teenage racist to the open-hearted generous empath that he is today

Customised insoles, created from the print of your foot Coming soon at HBF Look out for special offers…

The London Cycling Campaign has updated its Dangerous Junctions mapping, highlighting across London and by borough the most dangerous junctions for cycling, walking and wheeling for Londoners. lcc.org.uk/news/dangero...

What do people think we do in WCs? We go behind a closed door and use the loo in private I expect we’ll see less shared space changing rooms in the future. But 99% have the option of a private cubical 1 pool near me has done away with male/female changing rooms, just cubicles. Works for everyone

This will be horrific if it goes through “you look a bit like a man, prove you’re not!” Are we going to be asking people to pull their pants down, before they can use the bathroom? Trans people could be barred from services based on appearance www.bbc.com/news/article...

Two days, 30 bike fitters and a hella lot of saddles Heaven Thanks Jon for inviting us all to Pedalling Perfection

Just passed Reading on the train. It was snowing! 🌨️

On today's World Day of Remembrance for Road Victims it is worth noting that in the two years since Wales implemented a national default 20mph (32km/h) there have been 25% fewer casualties on such roads with over 1,000 fewer people killed or injured. youtu.be/efr3uVKpOwY

Wow! Free bikes trial schemes in 3 areas showed a 12x returning investment. Reduced expected cases of disease by 16% and deaths by 6%. What a win. We should be rolling these schemes to all deprived neighbourhoods. road.cc/content/news...

This sounds like incredible fun Fancy being chased by bloodhounds across the New Forest? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

You need my kid to do a project during the holidays? Lego it is then Can you guess what it is?

You can tell how much safer cycling on London roads are becoming, by the number of people riding with dogs in their front baskets I’ll post a pic as soon as I get one

Does anyone ride a Soma bike? They look great, especially for people with longer legs than torso. I’ve never ridden one though and would appreciate some feedback

Mind Blowingly Good Cycle Lanes planned That’s a bold statement. I like it www.timeout.com/london/news/...

Frank Fisher Apartments, Andrew Rebori, Chicago, 1939

An absolute pleasure working with @highpoh.bsky.social 3000km a year, commuting and weekend riding. You’re a proper cyclist Also one of the most funny and delightful people I’ve had in my studio, and the lovely funny client field is strong
