I've just signed @londoncycling.bsky.social's petition calling for action on cycle theft... 40,000 bikes are stolen every year in London. This has to change. Join me in calling for action: action.lcc.org.uk/theft

@fatherhilarious.blog just been reading your Camera Resurrection piece. I've had this AE-1 stored for ages (salvaged from work where no-one wanted it). I sourced a battery and just fitted it. The meter worked. But, the film wind, shutter release, mirror have jammed on testing, and cannot be budged.

Petition to bring back wallpaper in bike shops #bikeshoplife

Beautifully succinct Ned. Will this be Ratcliffe's 'Ratners' moment?

Here are today's #RoadTaxWankers...

Got me itching to get my builds finished and be out shredding those trails...

#bikeeveryhood drops a #criticalmass #criticalmassSF #sanfrancisco video . This months really special #ripalexpretti bikes are an olive branch of peace , bikes are a placard of protest , we ride alone we ride together. ♥️🚲

I’m back on the saddle… 😁 So glad to be back on my Brompton can’t believe six weeks has flown by already. I’m so happy I was able to fit my Brompton Bicycle in the locker while I use the gym. I’ve finally got my smile back. A lot of people just don’t understand what cycling does to a person.

Mine became host to a whole new ecosystem...

Bicycles were the original liberation technology before they were rebranded as "toys for children" to justify forcing everyone into a car. Cities designed around people nurture well-being, making mobility safer, cheaper, more accessible, and supportive of physical and mental health.

On Saturday we ride for Alex Pretti 1:00pm at Washburn Fair Oaks Park From Angry Catfish: “We're asking folks to host rides and come together. Bike shops and non-profits, cycling orgs and alt cycling collectives, city and rural. We are many but we stand together as one.”

Hi Everyone. My blog is back up and running. I had to write this. I couldn't help myself. I'm so angry about what happened to Alex Pretti. He was a fellow bike rider #cycling #alexpretti wildmonkey.org/the-murder-o...

Cyclists of the World Unite. Against Fascist barbarism. Call it what it is. This is a global story. WE SEE YOU 'MERICA. It's the beginning of the end of your empire. #alexpretti #cycling

RIP Alex Pretti November 9, 1988 - January 24, 2026 A nurse who exhibited bravery and kindness. Murdered by U.S. government thugs.

Now I know why I was saving all those spent inner tubes for...

Shakes handful of notes: "take my money!!!"

Looking forward to what comes up. Gonna be a hard choice as they're all gems.

Lots of ideas to inspire from this single speed gravel Frankenbike by #queercyclist Can't tell from the video - the frame deets of #AllCityBikes are 🤩😍 The price of those Cane Creek eeWings tho' 😬🤪!!! Thanks to @mikeroneniner.bsky.social for another great channel find! youtu.be/0iRQOi4NCpg?...

Was working on my allotment plot today. My foxy mates turned up as usual. One of them took a fancy to my cookie stash...

SIG! The Danes have two Honeybadger jets up over the North Sea (COUGR 11 & 12 on Flightradar app).

Carney's speech is brilliant. Here is a transcript. I suspect we will be feeling some serious pain in Canada shortly from the reaction open.substack.com/pub/paulwell...

"I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace.”

I very much feel ground down into a state of inertia - through a sense of despair and lack of control over my life, due to my personal circumstances and the endless madness of our world. However, my current haven and micro-utopia is time on our local allotment...

I discovered this via #genosackmpls. It’s a beautiful statement . Please watch to the end with the lovely Canadian #greyjays in the forest. Everything now is an aberration. A precipice we can turn away from. How things are is not who we are. ♥️🚲

Unwisely read the comments on an article about banning pavement parking & there's loads of people saying "I never see disabled people being impeded by pavement parking!" 1. Are you paying attention? 2. People avoid routes they know will be impeded. 3. Inaccessibility discourages mobility aid use.

Dear Karen, hear are your words...

We've removed the paywall from this guide so everyone can access it. 👇 Stay safe.

Endura was great like 10 years ago, before Pentland Group bought it. I lived in their kit as a commuter, bike courier & mountain biker - it was practical, bombproof, comfy. But in recent years, it's become another overpriced brand, unaffordable outside of sales. www.bikeradar.com/news/endura-...

“New technologies will come along to save the environment.” What they said versus where we are: From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

America needs to 'show up' like this every day - until the despots in the White House are removed for good.

As we've known for a long time, the current car-first/car-only approach to UK urban planning is hostile to everyone except men. All of these things talked about would make towns and cities better for everyone; especially embedding the need for "eyes on the street", as espoused by Jane Jacobs.

Thank you Calvin, what an absolute legend you are. bikepacking.com/news/park-to...

Keep those cranks turning! However you may roll, happy riding in 2026 * illustration from Crankpusher on Instagram.

Has anyone seen or even ridden one of these funky #cargobikes from #GinkGobike ? I've ridden lots of front-loading Bullitts and Urban Arrows, which are great, but they can be unwieldy and can understeer in slippy conditions when the front end is unladen. www.cargo.ginkgo.bike/set/3f6341fc...

This reminds me so much of my years commuting by bike from Enfield to Wimbledon, via central London. Much of my route followed that taken in Arran's video - down along the navigation canals, past the Velodrome, through the City, with a coffee stop at Southbank skate park. youtu.be/SFCLtCiW9nU?...

I am honored to be called a bikehole and added to this mod list. 😘

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

"The Slackness of the Beast" I love this homebrew build, and - I wish I had the skills and resources to fettle one up... theradavist.com/henry-from-t...

Yasmina has a new video out, I really enjoy watching her cycling videos, and I really expect that you will, too: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAPE...

Every point made here by Mikeroneniner resonates profoundly within me. My partner calls me The Great Worrier, and reckons I overthink everything. My #thirdspace has always been 'in the flow' on the bike, but in recent years, has shifted to time working my allotment and talking to the foxes there.

Filmmaker Joffrey Maluski documents 25 days of bikepacking 1,500-kilometers through the sublime Arctic winterscape of Norway–Finland–Sweden, in the solitude of minus 27 degree polar nights. It's festive 🎄 existentialism, on a bike. It's spellbinding. bikepacking.com/plog/the-kaa...

This one is a thing of beauty, and is now kind of too nice to leave anywhere...

Introduce yourself with 5 bikes (or however many) you've owned or own: 1. Elswick Hopper Safeway 2. Raleigh Arena 3. Carrera mtb 4. Marin Muirwoods 5. Orange Clockwork 6. Orange C16rs 7. Orange P7 * 1-5 long gone, but never forgotten * 6-7 current bike projects, yay!

Hoping to find a copy of Wende Cragg's long-awaited book Camera Corner somewhere in the UK. It's packed full of her amazing photos documenting the beginnings of mountain biking. Hopefully a copy of Charlie Kelly's Fat Tyre Flyer too.

❤️ it. Took me back to art college days, exploring with a Pentax K1000. I'd develop film at college by evening, print a contact sheet, mark it up with a red chinagraph, then select frames to print from. It was a very mindful, zen-like process, unlike the mindlessness of today's technology. I miss it.

Yes, a large happy yellow duck can mean only one thing – it's cyclocross season in Holland and Belgium. For 2nd day in a row, LLLLucindaaa Bbbbrrrand (Vlaanderen accent) has won.
