Sunset behind Aberystwyth Pier, Mid-Wales. It's beautiful, even while it is slowly cooking us.

A screenshot of the odometer reading from my E-bike. Showing I've riden 1,103.7 miles since purchasing it in February. Not too shabby.

This is an incredible finding. If reproduced could bring big health benefits. Am wondering if big cycling nations have lower Alzheimers and dementia.

showyourstripes.info/b/europe/uni... Couldn't get more fine grained than this. North Wales, Bangor, or Anglesey don't seem to be an option. Still sure the trend would remain the same.

One more bike commute home, one less car on the road. The Rocinante really makes getting too and from work fun.

Once again, Snake Plisken is on point.

After reading about the latest truth social posts from the US president, I'd say the only person with Trump Derangement Syndrome, is Trump. Can foreign citizens sue the President of the US in a class action suite? Asking for a friend.

Lovely day for a bike ride home from work.

Ever thought about biking as your secret weapon for commuting? 🚴‍♂️ Whether it’s an eBike or a classic ride, they turn last-mile chaos into smooth sailing. https://cleantechnica.com/2026/03/17/ebikes-bikes-for-everything-much-of-what-ive-learned-riding-bikes-for-75-years-part-i/

1. My new E-bike 2. Riding my new E-bike 3. Riding any bike for that matter!

Two weeks on from buying this beauty, and so bloody glad I did. Such a nice ride, with more than enough artist to get up the hills on my commute pretty easily. Putting my old Brooks saddle on it this weekend was a great idea. If you are thinking about getting an E-bike for commuting - just do it.

A story of two halves for the E-bike commute today. Bright and clear on the way in and I did it in less than an hour despite taking it easy. The ride home however was very wet and windy, and cold. I wore the wrong gloves and my hands got a bit numb by the end. Still a blast on the Roci though.

I love my new E-bike (pedal assist). It makes the hills on my daily commute a lot more manageable, plus it’s a pretty comfy and fun ride. Shaves about 10 minutes off the commute (1 hr) as well. I’m still getting a workout, but I’m not totally cream crackered when I get to work. #OneLessCar

As we have gone down to being a one car Family, I jist upgraded to a E-bike with a bigger motor. The hope is the extra omph will make the commute a bit quicker, and allow me to carry groceries etc to replace the car.

Really happy to have been a part of this work. Great work by Sam Leech and @tiffanybell0.bsky.social. We hope this will help people to standardise and improve using MRS to estimate metabolite concentration.

Good to see everyone is still able to maintain there attention towards the end of the first day of the fMRS symposium at Bangor Uni.

The 2nd Bangor fMRS symposium kicked off tonight, with a welcome dinner in Bwyd da Bangor. A good start I think.

This month at the BIU, our faculty are working hard on the final preparations for two major symposia/workshops that take place in early September. Our events attract international instructors, speakers, and we deliver once-in-lifetime experiences and unparalleled networking opportunities.

Tonight's sourdough.

🚨📄 New paper! Abstract words are hard to acquire: Does social relevance help? We tested if social experience helps children learn words—analyzing >4,000 words by socialness, valence, and concreteness. 👬 More social words were learned earlier 💭 Socialness particularly helped abstract words, but…

Sourdough loaf on the Weber Kettle, using a Pizza stone. It turned out pretty good. Good rise, but the crumb could have been a bit better, not as "chewy" as I would like it.

So happy to see this young man graduate today. He is going to go places!

We are pleased to share the Bangor Imaging Unit (BIU) Annual Report for 2024/2025, which shines a light on recent updates and achievements, and to unveil our renewed BIU website (where the report can be found): www.bangor.ac.uk/bangorimagin... #research #wales @bangoruniversity.bsky.social

Tried my hand at a bit of baking today. The sourdough looks okay.
