Cannot overstate how empowering it feels to find beauty in your own body. Bikes can do this.

Katie Tightpussy, Editor-In-Chief @katie.bzky.team · 1d

arguably the best part about cycling is that as time goes on, when i look down at my feet, my legs increasingly look like mew two with how much my quads continue to grow. i am continually reaffirmed that Damn my legs look good. bicycles are so cool

Just took pyjama bottoms and hoodie out of tumble dryer and put them straight on and think I touched the face of god.

Greta Thunberg is such a class act, even when she's been horrifically mistreated by the IDF she does not make it about herself and remains consistent in her messaging in wanting the relentless campaign of oppression and genocide against the Palestinian people to end.

As a student I spent a couple of summers working as a metrognome.

The metrognomes - promotional characters for the Metrocentre shopping mall in Gateshead UK. They’re coloured green, yellow blue and red to symbolise the four main zones of the mall. They have normal human size bodies with huge fibreglass heads on. Fun fact: the person inside the suit can see through the gnome’s mouth

Absolutely love when cycling journos manage to squeeze the interest out of a dull race. There's no way I could have predicted there'd be such a great article about this when I saw it live. Top work!

Premium owl rehab content

Dr Delyth Badder @folklorewales.com · 3d

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

I do something similar with Taylor Swift tunes when I do intervals on the bike. SO much more motivating than macho radge musc

Looking out of my window to see my elderly(ish) neighbour zooming down the hill on his bike with a big grin on his face.

A roadside sign reading ‘Be Seen - grab a brick! 1. Grab 2. Look 3. Wave 4. Cross’. Underneath it is a small yellow basket holding some bricks.

I did the Adventure Syndicate's Pie Run last weekend and it's just a perfect bike event. No set route, just a suggested start place/time and the encouragement to get to Lochinver for a pie before the pie shop closes*. A real journey on many levels.

*they keep you a pie if you run late

Another way to look at is you get to re-discover how INCREDIBLE they are over and over again.

Look, I’m not a fan of the guy but credit where it’s due: I think boris Johnson is ageing gracefully

A gnarly looking fence post with a clump of lichen growing on top. The lichen looks a bit like the hair of former UK prime minister and fully confirmed shitbox Boris Johnson MP
