After 30 years of riding a helmet I found out last year why you *have* to wear a helmet when biking. A "stupid" fall that I wouldn't have thought too much of normally happened to have my head slide across a rock that was sticking out, and split and sliced my helmet.
Seeing everybody in Strasbourg ride without a helmet gave me anxiety. You don't fall until you fall / get struck.
in a (probably silly) drunken evening i decided to cycle down the west coast in the of middle winter. I have done minimal preparation, and will have to rely on inherent confidence to ensure I can complete it. what could possibly go wrong #cycling #winter #boozedecisions

Monday evening workout. Stationary bike at #LifetimeFitness. Normally, I ride a recline bike. Tonight, I tried a more traditional stationary bike. I think I prefer the recline bike. I did not like the angle of the pedals relative to the seat. I did a lot of work today outside. that might also explain some of the less than stellar results tonight. But the good news is I went to the gym and rode bike for an hour. #FitBy60 #Fitness #Cycling
Almost a decade ago, I visited the Moderna Museet in Stockholm and came across their bike exhibition. It was advocating for better bike infrastructures and was so thoroughly impressed of past photos and actual physical examples of former mail carrying bikes! Apologies for the crap photos, not the best phone I had back then.
Very short and unclimby ride today – though with a bracing wind on top of the hills, it still felt pretty tough at times. Rode to meet my wife and then we did some trails north of here for a few extra km. The little touristy village we went to visit was pretty much abandoned for the holiday, which was a surprise, but so it goes.

Tre settimane di dramma, passione ed eccitazione al Giro d'Italia 2023
#ciclismo #cycling #GirodItalia #GirodItalia2023 #Giro
I have worn a hole in my jeans from cycling, time for new ones. That's a lot of kms 😀
Another ride done. Still less people out there, are they all all crook from covid I wonder? We do have increasing numbers....
When I was cycling (slowly) up a steepish road to get to the Wessex Ridgeway a chap on an e-bike went past, shouted that he was cheating, I replied something like "it's allowed" then he said "well I'm twice your age".
He was (probably) in his 60's
I wish I'd shouted "you aren't doing bad for 100!"
But instead I just felt pleased he thought I was half his age.
There's probably a moral to this tale, but I'm buggered if I know what it might be...

Spent a couple of days riding easy trails at #partyPace to get back to the #HT550 start point at Tyndrum from Fort Augustus: The Great Glen Way and then West Highland Way (avoiding Devil's Staircase). The few rough spots I hit vindicated my decision to scratch: no strength in my shoulder and hurting like hell when needing to use it. #cycling #bikepacking

From today's cycling ride around one of our lakes.

Es ist so ein Komfort im Vergleich zum alten #Rennrad und man kann auch mal den unbefestigten Weg nehmen...

Just come back from #Merribek Council Budget committee that was hearing citizen presentations on submissions on the draft budget for 2023-2027. Over half the submissions were on active transport, and this proportion was also reflected in those who spoke in person or online.

Day 45 of #Running recovery break with 25KM of #Cycling followed by a 6KM walk afterwards.
Five KM into my ride, I found people gathered around a cyclist that hit a Canadian Goose and crashed (the goose fled the scene). They were trying to decide if 911 should be called; I spoke with the cyclist, went through what happened, talked about where they were injured, made a quick assessment and called 911. It's interesting how training kicks in. #Ottawa paramedics arrived minutes later.
This city has the coolest graffiti.

It may be underappreciated simply how fun it is to ride a modern electric cargo bike. We recently switched from an 2014 Urban Arrow to this 2023 Riese&Müller Transporter 65 and the developments in battery and motors really makes a big difference.
If you tried and perhaps dismissed one of these years ago, give them another chance.

At #Salamanca we hunted for shoes. Fiona found some pretty sneakers and ditched her litterly falling apart #scott bike-shoes.
Our seemingly perfect campspot turned out to be in a city park. At 3:20 am the sprinkler system startet drenching our #bigAgnes tent for 30min. Luckily the glued seams held up, but the next morning we discovered the entire floor was leaking. Everything was soaked from below. We are so frustrated about all the expensive hi-tech material!

I did get a technical issue. Not one I was expecting though.
I've cycled hundreds of miles in Spain, Portugal, and France. Hundreds (probably thousands by now really) more in England. And I've never had a puncture in seven years. Then last year and this year I cycle in Wales and bam two punctures in two years 😂 What's up with Welsh roads?
My interview in #Saskatoon newspaper after cyclist killed here in front of her children.
"the greatest danger on the road to people not in vehicles is vehicles. Vehicle occupants have airbags, seatbelts, the vehicle's metal frame
..people who are inside are protected, but the people who are outside of it are not.. the reason people don't cycle in Saskatoon is because they believe and feel it isn't safe to"
I went on to describe bike boxes.

A side project I started over the weekend - a map of how long pedestrians have to wait at traffic lights in Sydney to identify problematic intersections!

Please have a look and if you're interested, contribute some measurements! I'll add more detailed instructions in the coming days.

Visited Short Finger Brewing for the “soft opening” of their new tap room and bottle shop. The thing about being on the Iron Horse Trail is that it’s exceptionally accessible to people on bikes. Which my son and I were! 🍻🚴♂️
Day 44 of #Running recovery break. 41 KM of #cycling, 26km alone with a couple of early-on #OttawaRaceWeekend detours, had brunch, then 15km with @TAV for errands, and a Frosty at Wendy’s then venturing home. Pleased to see *some* bike parking at TrainYards.
A small bird flew into my hip about 80 seconds into my ride, and is barely visible for eight frames in the video. I was wearing my day-glow yellow shirt. 🤷🏻
I would really appreciate some cloud cover. And more days at 10°C. <sighs>
1/ “How parking explains the world”
Interesting conversation that starts out relatively pro-car and then gets into the consequences of building pro-car cities.

Random notes:
* Some of the most beloved parts of cities were built around 1900. This way of building is now illegal in the USA – partly due to parking requirements.

The 7-11 Rule re safe cycling.
(thought it up fall of 2022):
1. Could a 7 year old ride safely when with an adult?
2 . Could an 11 year old ride safely by themselves?
3. 7x11 = 77. Would a 77 year old feel safe on a bicycle here?
Safe means:
*actually safe
*feels safe and not dangerous
*everyone 7, 11 & 77 years old feel that cycling is viable where they are needing to go.
Share everywhere please as The 7-11 Rule & get your city to do it!

I will need a proper bike computer with rock solid connection to my rose gravel bike (smartphone just fell off) and full #komoot compatibility with auto-rerouting if I miss a turn or want to go another way. Thinking of the new #wahoo element, so smartphone stays in a safe spot while still connected and available for rerouting. Additionally heart frequence monitoring, thinking of wahoo tickr. Does it sound like a good idea? #cycling #komoot #wahoo #munich #rose

Dave Walker's The Cycle Event https://davewalker.com/the-cycle-event/ #cycling #cartoon
this weekend is Ride London - a 100 mile sportive on closed roads. It's going to be a lot of fun. I'm doing it sponsored for The Bike Project, who do up 2nd hand bikes for refugees. A genuinely life changing charity.
And because 100 miles isn't long enough, I'm riding from birmingham to london and back either side :) (assuming my slightly injured shoulder holds up!)
Here's the sponsorship link. Feel free to be generous :)
