Would a Genesis Croix de Fer from around 2010 have had a triple chainset originally? Anyone able to confirm?

Ladies, we have a new hero

Oh, the snow has finally reached Kirkcaldy Nothing compared to my friends in the north mind, not as yet

The big bad wolf came to Venezuela's house, and I ignored it. Then the big bad wolf came to Greenland's house, and I said, "Phew! It's not my house." Then the big bad wolf came to my house, and I cried for help and nobody came.

I love it when men mansplain about cycling to me. After all, i am a fully qualified bike mechanic whose been riding bike for over 45 years but obviously as a woman I know absolutely nothing

Road gritted, of course Screw anyone on the pavement or shared active travel routes

If you can walk when it snows you can walk all year round The school run truth Exposed

Toying with a Genesis Tour de Fer 10, there seem to be a few around for £1k’ish. That would work out around half the price of going to Spa Cycles and ordering a Wayfarer. The saving would make several additional trips possible but is it false economy 🤔

I have spent the weekend wondering where this will go. Trump has continued to threaten taking Greenland which will then mean a war between Europe and America, the end of Nato, and christ knows what happens if Russia starts moving further from its side. Trump absolutely has to be working with Putin

Thats the nail hit on the head right there. Grok is a tool of Musk and the right wing patriarchy that want to control and silence women

Police Scotland are asking people not to travel. Todays commute for many will be impossible and yet more people will be stranded. The Met Office has issued an Amber warning not RED. Most business only pay workers unable to get to work on RED warnings. The system needs revision

Wars are NOT inevitable. Climate change doom is NOT inevitable. They are both symptoms of a broader and deeper societal and individual malaise: apathy.

I do wish bike shops would have stock lists online. i do not have the time, energy or enthusiasm to phone all the dozens of bike shops in Edinburgh. I am not travelling 2hrs by public transit each way and then all over the city, for a look on the off chance they might have one that suits/fits

I’m sorry but that is funny

When time will come, the EU will "closely monitor" the invasion of Taiwan. And then the seizure of Greenland. And then...

Finished Life After Cars Now reading through the guide to the Hebridean Way

Decorations away in the loft There’s nothing like an insane dicta to spoil the mood

Trump needs to cancel the midterms He’s started a war for just this purpose

Also, when reporters start talking about the chatbots this way, it is imperative to remind them they are basically asking a toaster for comment. They should be a lot more embarrassed about this than they currently are. “Grok told CNN…” no it didn’t. You typed stuff into an unreliable calculator.

2026 the year of the Trump wars, when he attacked any country that stood up to him, made child abuse legal, and went into partnership with Putin to carve up the World

GROK is a machine Grok created images of abuse because a HUMAN asked it too Grok worded an apology because another HUMAN asked it too Grok cannot be held accountable HOLD THE HUMANS TO ACCOUNT Including MUSK

Reading about all the people stuck in snow and wondering which bit of ‘Do not travel’ they didn’t understand

How was your New Year? We watched the whole of The Night Manager season one and finished with two minutes to spare before Stranger Things, finally off to bed around 3:30ish. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening/night

In 2025, I quit my job, loaded up my bicycle, & started traveling as far as I can on what I’d saved up. 5 months & ~7500km into this trip & still going strong.🚵🏼‍♂️💪🏼 2026 goal is to make up to Alaska this summer.😊🤞🏼 Follow along at @intoaheadwind.bsky.social . HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🥳🎉 #BikeSky #Cycling

Cars ruin everything

Once a day, pretty much, you take the risk of witnessing or being subjected to a crime on a train in Fife. According to Scotrail there were 334 incidents in the year to Nov. www.centralfifetimes.com/news/2572986...

New Years Eve, 3pm, dog already spooked by the illegal use of motorcycles in the park. I can't wait for the fckin fireworks. I used to fck off and go camping with one of my dogs because she was so scared of the firework she would literally crap herself. I am beginning to thing I might do it again

Please share this widely

Twice a day my iPhone puts up a pop-up telling me to update my iWatch. I don’t have an iWatch

Schroedinger's cyclist/public transport crossover edition: Cyclists should not take their bikes on public transport because they could just do the bus/metro/train journey by bike but bikes cannot replace car journeys because you can't ride them much further than walking distance.

Good advice

Anyone want an #ElectricBrompton #GLine? Forest Green, size small (not that i can tell the difference between the medium and the small) Used once to go less than two miles. Husband selling due to knee issues. Collect Fife poss Edinburgh if needed £2700

'You shouldn't be getting a medal for being robbed by your own government' 92 year old Betty Brown, the oldest surviving victim of the Post Office IT scandal, told #BBCBreakfast she was 'very honoured, but angry' about being made an OBE in the New Year Honours

Someone stole my wife's maroon Raleigh Motus bike in Dublin City Centre this afternoon. If you see it, give me a shout

I once shared a lift in Habitat Cambridge with the actor who played Lofty in Eastenders and his mum

Amen to that

stop giving terfs ideas Onion

Also could you imagine drivers having to stop at a set if traffic lights and needing to get out of their car to press a button cos it was inconveniently placed. Then wait 2 minutes for the lights to go green for them to get halfway across the junction. Then repeat to get across the rest of the road.

Has anyone tried a Redshift Top Shelf handbar?

Can anyone recommend a search engine that can have AI switched off please. I can’t deal with Google anymore

Wonder why we choose the bear? Wonder why violence towards women is rising in frequency and severity? Wonder why women of my age are getting REALLY ANGRY about this shit? This is probably one of the first things sick bastards thought to do with AI

We all have one of those friends (It’s usually me)

Spent half an hour looking at train times and an hour with a map of Harrogate looking at hotels I do not need a steel framed touring bike with a triple chainset, i have bikes, many bikes, i need to ride those more (Ooh 4 ✨ hotel £56 for the night)
