https://xpressreal.io/ ← Well dang, this is basically what I've always said I wanted out of an SBC: something about the size of an M.2 drive that could take an M.2 drive, and with enough RAM to just hang from a PoE wire and be a low-power server that could run circles around anything you had at […]

OK weather, I know yesterday was the last day of summer, but you didn't need to go from 25° on Friday to 7° this morning! #biketooter #bikecommuter

Seeing as the Time Trial #cyclingworldchampionships are currently on, here's a handy foolproof guide for competitors to get that medal: https://pioswibble.wordpress.com/2018/08/25/how-to-win-a-time-trial-or-not-lose-by-much/ I also have a handy guide for hill climbs and road races too, for […]

Scarborough beach getting some banksy inspired sand art. By Fred Brown.

@ascentale A question for the #biketooter women which I know is going to be *very* subjective. My wife doesn't like cycling because she finds saddles *very* uncomfortable (partly due to a broken coccyx as a child). I'd love to go on rides together, so looking for recommendations. Are there […]

Authoritarian & genocidal states: Sport should not be political; protestors should not disrupt sporting events Also authoritarian & genocidal states: Let's sponsor teams and events to sportswash our regimes!

UK could raise nearly £2bn by taxing SUVs in line with European countries, study shows Thinktank says an ‘#SUVloophole’ means UK buyers pay up to 20 times less tax on biggest models than in neighbouring nations […]

Here in the UK the far-right are using exactly the same baseless rhetoric about a migrant-fuelled crime wave as the MAGAs in the US. I wouldn't usually share anything from The Times (which lost all credibility as a bastion of serious investigative journalism […] [Original post on mastodon.world]

"Predictions" of civil war in the US are attempts to foment it.

I mostly follow cycling people, cycling hashtags and a few selected individuals on here. Turns out that with the unique mastodon algorithm of just showing a feed of everything, I get to also see loads of anti AI memes and open source & Linux discussions. Turns out there's a bigger IT / Cycling […]

@GarethJonesTV The book you were looking for is Formula 1 by Bob Judd who I'm sure was influenced by Dick Francis. He wrote a few sequels, one called Indy and another called Monza where he deliberately crashed another car (driven by a mafioso) off at Tamburello to kill them(!). I think I might […]

When I took my old boy to the vet last week I saw a poster for a cat that had been missing since May after escaping from a van during a house move, and because apparently I have a photographic memory for cats I remembered exactly where I petted that particularly kitty and text the location to […]

Those who can channel our anger at 15 years of misrule, who can speak the language of outrage and hope, are the politicians of the moment. They will contribute to what could be, in 2029, the greatest electoral reset in our modern history. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Telling it like it is, and cutting through.

[UK politics] Can someone explain what's going on in the UK with the flags? A stunt by the far right or something else? #ukpol #ukpolitics

After the independent head of the US CDC is fired, Robert Kennedy Jr's loyal deputy, Jim O'Neill, is appointed to take her place.

Thought for the day while walking around Futuroscope. The block paving is pretty much pristine but the interfaces with general asphalt footways are cracking from either settlement, the heat of the sun, or both. It was built in 1988 which just goes to show how long stuff can last if cars aren't […]

A(nother) great assessment of the folly of Musk's hyperloop. https://youtu.be/VPjODKUxV5g?si=ey7B_0YOm5D1SGIy

The most dangerous junction in Britain? Our @psimonk.bsky.social‪, @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social & Prof @ianwalker.bsky.social on Global Cycling Network in Clapham: youtu.be/d1BhyZSrZU8 explaining why the junctions in this corridor are so dangerous for cycling & what could be done about this.

Wahay! @RantyHighwayman spotted on a GCN video. Excellent!

With the UK hillclimb season fast approaching, he's a repost of my essential guide to hill climbing: "How to win a Hill Climb (or not lose by much)" Andrew Feather read* this several weeks before becoming national hillclimb champion. Coincidence? […]

@Vive_Levant I scored 12/21 on https://e-mail.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

Hi UK fedi peeps. Looking for advice on hiring a car in the UK and then driving it to and around France for a couple of week (through the tunnel) Has anyone done this? Any companies to recommend / avoid? SIXT is the cheapest I've found but isn't clear on their website and no sign of a support […]

The year of living dangerously...

A bit of a long shot, but has anyone on here got air conditioning pipes for a 1998-2003 model (mk6) Honda accord? (shippable to the UK) Trying to keep it going... #wierdcarmastodon #carmastodon

Spent the afternoon trying to bleed my Sram Apex brakes for the first time. A bit short of time so rushed it and kind of bodged it. Seems to be no worse than before, so I'll call that a win. I'll have to have another attempt tomorrow.

Bikenite question: what's the best inner tube recycling hack your seed or done? Mine is this cargo bike shelf, spotted in Bruges about 6 years ago. Photos best!

Falling Down, only instead of being stuck in a traffic jam with no air conditioning and getting more and more stressed until he snaps and goes on a killing spree, he commutes by bike, rides past the jam with a smile on his face and goes home to his wife, who he is still married to because he's […]

Independence Day, but when everyone tries to escape the city instead of jumping in their cars, getting stuck in jams and being annihilated, they all use bikes, and everyone escapes. #biketooter #improveafilmwithbikes

That moment when you overtake an old chap on a knackered old town bike on the commute, but you still hear the squeaking chain, so you push harder to drop him, but he just won't get dropped and he channels his inner Van Aert / Van Der Poel / Abrahamsen and sticks on your wheel, so you keep upping […]

I paid a bit of money for someone to rebuild my bike. After I got my bike stolen it has been weird in parts and it hasn’t felt right. Thankfully my work is subsidizing 85% of the cost, in an annual bike maintenance subsidy for people who don’t drive to work […]
