I see some one has reversed into Shakespeare's House today as well. "Man the Tapmast! ". Or "Ban the Tapas" as I thought it was in the opening sequence of The Tempest...🙄. Why Spanish nibbles in a storm??

Bolt cutters. But only at one end. Swap the cut end after each repair. I was never here. 👀

Had a wee tandem trip to mugdock. Saw a Bus stop destroyed in a single vehicle crash in Bearsden and then another Single vehicle crash on SCW where driver turned way too sharp and collided with barrier at speed. Then stopped on bike lane to assess damage. A tandem came up behind and moved them on

This is good reporting on the disaster in Alaska if you're looking for a reliable summary.

This is a bigger disaster than I think most are realizing. 1500 people have been displaced by the flooding with an exceptionally complicated response and recovery.

It's a condition of Tow Path use on British waterways and Scottish Canals. Widely ignored. And a short leash! Not extending invisibly! I fell off last week avoiding a dog. 🐕

Eg This bike towing system exists as an elegant well thought out £200 CNC item...but can be made from scrap. 😂

It's much the same price in the UK and EU. you can make your own for less-time/skill but the materials are not really what you are paying for. The admin and costs of complying, and insurance for EU,British and US Safety standards are what you are paying for.

Our companies monthly Taxi bill would cover a pedalme style bike easily. Persauding the Talent and Mgt to step aboard more difficult...We would be guaranteed 5 minutes from the railway station instead of an unreliable 30 to 50.

Yep. An attitude test.

Interesting. Light industrial Tradesmen moaning about young apprentices that don't drive - it's almost like there is a transport alternative they are not using.

Once had a leader say "we'll Blue sky that" and also "ring fence". (In the arts,we don't do that much) seemed out of character. They must have been playing a game. But no one let slip so maybe 🤔 ....

One of them has a kids driving training centre. Conflicted. Not sure how I feel about that...

The Dutch Cycling headwind Championships were held in Glasgow on Dixon Street today. That's a high rise that never had an aerodynamic assessment done for amplifying effects at street level! or maybe it did. Everyone blown to the ground on foot or on bicycles.

The Victorian Park opposite my flat had a park keeper employed to lock the gates when it was discovered that children were gathering and playing there. Fortunately not the case anymore! But....
