Another fantastic look at new Glasgow cycle infrastructure being built by @glasgowcycles.bsky.social Well worth a watch to see the progress. youtu.be/WvFggBmxsr8?...

I find people are sometimes perplexed when I say I have no urge to go and live in a hot country. This morning was a perfect example of what I'd miss.

There is a perfect use for AI image generation after all... I'm looking forward to seeing our new super hero... The Shield of Americas. 🤣

So on a train to Glasgow from London and... because of lines down at Carlisle nothing is going further than Preston. Also nothing going to Edinburgh from this side. This is going to be interesting... 😩

Neguse demolishes Noem (2/2)

"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)

The Lib Dems are definitely not the type of party to try and scrape votes by posting populist shi...oh wait...

On an Avanti West Coast train, and it appears that they are trying to freeze us to death. I have my puffy jacket on and I'm still cold. How can they be so bad. 🥶☹️

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Today more than ever, it is essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime as is the case with the Iranian regime…and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

🤣

It was exactly 9 years ago today that I first heard this song and it changed my life. Today seems a good day to share it with you. It might change yours. Enjoy. youtu.be/miomuSGoPzI?...

In which people CHOOSE TO VOTE for a female plumber representing a party with broadly liberal values and an unelected life peer declares it to be the end of liberal democracy.

What this result signals, like a bell ringing out across the land, is that Britain’s slide towards fascism is NOT in fact inevitable, we CAN still choose a brighter path. Rejoice! All is not lost! ✨💫 Today is a good day 💚

Have solar and a battery (needs to be certain makes) then there's an interesting way to make more money and help the grid. See here youtu.be/IvMor9aUfhE?...

It's good, isn't it? 🤣

Oh this is fun... 😁

Has anyone noticed I've been quiet recently? Probably not! Anyway I've been in India. Lots of different parts of India for work. Fascinating country, but definitely one I would not cycle in! The driving is...😱

The DOJ appears to have surveilled members of Congress who were looking through unredacted pages in the Epstein files and provided that information to Pam Bondi for her hearing before the House Judiciary Committee.

Absolutely chaos (well not really, but you know what I mean) in Anniesland and surrounds tonight. Temporary traffic lights at Fulton St stuck on red in every direction. Improved my cycle commute though. Lots of filtering followed by nearly empty roads. 😁

Does anyone know of any decent and not too expensive cycling tights (not bib) that have no pad? I like to wear the tights over my bib shorts during the winter. There seem to be few cycling tights available without pads these days...

Today is the 5th anniversary of the release of the infamous #Lawyercat video, which I posted roughly thirty minutes after the start of the second impeachment trial. Who would have thought it would have such a lasting impact on the world! Happy Lawyercat Day for all who celebrate!

Bollards save lives. End of story. #WorldBollardAssociation

New active travel project delay tracker live. - not sure how maintainable this will be but I will try! www.city-scope.co.uk/active-travel @spokes.org.uk @edi.bike

The Distance. My entry into the Super Bowl ad mix.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

A rare victory. This dirt bike rider did a very close pass on me in May 2025. The incident was captured on my 360 degree camera. This front view (rear in next post) shows how close he was. Obviously no registration plate, but the camera did pick enough of the riders face up that...

I've just seen the video flythrough of a newly proposed cycle lane in Glasgow. Oh my! 😀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1FX... Way back in 2012 when @pedalonparliament.org held its first demonstration we could only dream of infrastructure like this in Glasgow.

The group bike ride for Alex Pretti is about to depart in Minneapolis, stopping at his memorial, then Renee Good’s, and finishing at the VFW. If you can join, hop on anywhere. It’s a warm 17° & sunny! I’ve never seen this many cyclists for a group ride. ⚡️✊🏽⚡️🚲⚡️✊🏽⚡️ #RIPPretti

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

Very good and persuasive analysis of the wrongful and illiberal arrests of two journalists by the US federal government.

SHOCK: UK Studio Goes SILENT After USA🇺🇸 Rant 😳 - www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWPO...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

#ScotBudget #ActiveTravel 🚶👩‍🦼🚲 falls below 4% of total transport --> www.spokes.org.uk/2026/01/scot... @edi.bike @transform.scot @edinburghbug.bsky.social @keithirving.bsky.social @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social @alastairdalton.bsky.social @sw20.info @markruskell.bsky.social @magnatom.bsky.social

Slowly coming out of the other side of a nasty flu/COVID/cold bug thingy. Not exactly sure what it was, except that it was pretty brutal. First time I've had something like this with a smart watch. Interesting to see changes in RHR and breathing rate. No cycling until next week at the earliest. ☹️

Stella Carlson had no way of knowing that she would soon watch a man die — or that her video of that fatal incident would serve as a crucial counter to the Trump administration's initial efforts to paint Alex Pretti as a wannabe assassin or domestic terrorist. https://cnn.it/4riaBXa

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings. This can't be "reformed"

Would you look at this everyone! The @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social AKA Mark the mobility visionary came to visit us in Haringey today! He gave us his thoughts on Green Lanes as we cycled along it, looking at everything. There was also some drama. So what did he think? Let’s gooo! ⬇️ 1/18

Is he suggesting that ICE have access to my precogs (Minority Report) and they'd already seen a possible future where he committed a massacre?! That's the logical route he's going down.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Ok, this is bad if you know what it’s referring to but what on *earth* would you make of that graphic if you didn’t?

People are scared of the spread of fascism, rightly so. We have 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 elections in May and it’s essential to keep Reform out. The far right thrive on apathy and hopelessness. Good turn out almost always beats them. Register to vote. Why wait? Do it today www.gov.uk/register-to-...

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

as a parent I cannot imagine how absolutely fucking heartbreaking and awful it must be to have to put out a statement like this because the federal government killed your son and is telling monstrous lies about him

Damn. Been feeling really crap the last couple of days. Been fishing fluey and tonight saw my temperature is up Ugh. Most likely flu then. 😩

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

OMG. I've just seen the footage from Minnesota from the woman in pink. I won't share it as it's horrific. This poor man was just filming and trying to help a woman. What has become of you USA?! 😡😩😡
