Audax, underbiking & velomobiles. Occasional tallbiking. Genius who brought you SPD Crocs, inventor of the Meths Martini & no longer allowed unsupervised lab access. Upsetting in an oddly lingering kind of way.

For the benefit of any doubt I am joking, but at the same time it’s fairly baffling why *any* Labour politician would want it briefed that they take inspiration from Trump’s mass deportation policies.

And three times is enemy action.

I miss running. It’s been 15 years since I stopped - I reasoned that I’d maybe 10-15 years in my knees if I continued, or maybe 30-40 if I switched exclusively to cycling.

Home. 200km, 2600m of climbing, and an average temperature of 5°C. i feel oddly peckish.

It’d be rude not to have a dessert.

Crikey. Tough ride out of Teesdale. 3°C and a headwind. Now recovering with soup in the Hemmel Cafe in Allenheads at 115km.

Oh, well played, my friend. Well played.

Last time I was at an amateur fireworks display, one of our neighbours decided their front garden with people walking past to on the path was an ideal venue. And the I saw them using a sparkler as a “torch” to select the next explosive from the box.

She reminds me of the not-anywhere-near-as-smart-as-their-parents-told-them-they-were kid at school, who being totally bereft of any self awareness, decided that punching down was the way to confound the evidence of everyone’s eyes.

I hope their fireworks fuses are as short as mine is when people are dicking around with explosives near me.

TBF, even *I* looked quite big in hockey kit, despite being about 9st (126lb; 57kg) when soaking wet.

I very rarely get close passes. But seeing drivers on the phone, or parked on zebra crossings' zigzags, or blocking box junctions...? Yeah, every flippin' day, and it is a pleasure to upload the footage to our local police portal.
