I bought this tome from the Vintage-Cycling Club at the Simpson Retro a couple of weeks ago. It is RIDICULOUSLY geeky, as well as being hugely informative. I’m already down a Carlton frame number rabbit hole. 🤓#CyclingBlueSky

[email protected] are always brilliant live but Friday’s Patreon bash in Morecambe was next level. Throat still feeling the vocal exertions today, while the 70s disco outfit is on the washing line frightening the neighbours. Missing my long black hair, mind. 😂

Doing the tourist thing in #Copenhagen this weekend. This is King Christian VIII who eschewed the traditional length shorts with his coronation robes. Basically the Chloe Dygert of his day. #CyclingBlueSky

Seeing UAE’s subtle jersey change for today reminds me how much I liked Discovery’s 2005 adaptation for stage 21. Don’t @ me! 😆 #TourdeFrance #CyclingBlueSky

There’s only one winner in the TdFF jersey battle. That FDJ Suez is a stone cold banger. #TdFF2025 #CyclingBlueSky

Carbon copy of 1986 stage 13 today. Not sure how Bernard Hinault’s going to attempt to betray Pogacar, but if there’s a way he’ll probably find it. #TourdeFrance #CyclingBlueSky

Apropos of my previous post, most of my understanding of gender dysphoria and the challenges trans people face comes through the lens of the 2 big obsessions in my life: aviation and cycling. Caroline Paige’s excellent ‘True Colours’ is also worth your time even if you’re not into planes and that.

You might think @pippayork.bsky.social and David Walsh an unlikely pairing but this works and reads brilliantly. Revealing, instructive and genuinely laugh-out-loud funny at some possibly inappropriate junctures. More travelogue with Tour (and transition) tales than chronology and better for it.

In the interests of balance, UAE have “mould spores” up their sleeve (and all down the front) if anyone gets a bit wheezy in the Pyrenees.

I’m being spammed to death by the V-Lab “Swarm” jumper today. My only thought is that if Jonas has a bad day, the team can just claim he was run over by a neutral service car.
