@SussexCRP @ACoRPOffice @sdnpa @SouthernRailUK @Ravilious We've published two illustrated maps & guides to East Sussex, covering Brighton to Eastbourne & Hastings. They show railway lines & stations, lanes recommended for cycling and art & cultural attractions twitter.com/pentopapershop… Also a print of both combined. Of interest?

@MichaelRosenYes Andrew Carnegie covered most of the costs of building the Ewart Library, Dumfries, Scotland. An example of the 2,500 Carnegie Libraries built globally to promote education. An estimated 800 survive as libraries.

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve_news. We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now. Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

Isabel Oakeshott(TalkTV): "Nigel Farage works his socks off for this country." 😜

@CyclingInASkirt I'm so sorry to hear this, Michael. Here in Eastbourne we're trying to come to terms with the recent passing of Felicity, one of the founders of our local cycle group. She did so much to promote safe cycling for all. bespokecyclegroup.org.uk/2025/01/09/tri…

Hi cycling twitter. I'm Michael, Helen's husband. As some of you may know Helen's last scan showed that the cancer has grown and is impacting kidney function. This means we have reached the end of the road for treatment and are focusing on keeping Helen comfortable.

@MrJamesMay That's a fine logo. How about a TV series on bicycles? Bottom Gear?

I’m enjoying this beer. (Not just because there’s a bicycle in the logo, before anyone blunders in with blah blah road tax). It’s ‘glad’.

I wrote something about my friend, Felicity. Whose spirit left us last week bespokecyclegroup.org.uk/2025/01/09/tri…

If you're Christmas shopping in central London drop in to @StanfordsTravel at 7 Mercer Walk, Covent Garden. They stock our two Sussex maps, illustrated by the brilliant, award-winning @benjamindraws @N08/53956864280/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">flickr.com/photos/1605015… & posters of our River Lea map stanfords.co.uk/river-lea-vall…

In 1935, a peculiar Austrian forester made a claim that seemed impossible: He could make water flow uphill without any external power source. Scientists called him a fraud. The Nazi regime tried to weaponize his discoveries. Today, modern physics is proving he was right about almost everything. This is the story of Viktor Schauberger, the "Water Wizard" who saw what everyone else missed:

Past societies produced so much beauty because they knew that math and beauty are deeply connected. It all started when Pythagoras discovered something mind-blowing about reality: The universe is not made of matter — but music... (thread) 🧵

@SeasideFerry Sadly I think so. Try Favoloso on Carlisle Road?

Was hoping to get an Italian milky coffee in the vintage surroundings of Notarianni's but found it all closed up. Is this permanent, does anyone know?

@seatsixtyone Can the developers who are so keen to build above Liverpool St station be persuaded to switch to the Euston area? @thevicsoc

Now you come to mention it…

@FietserGlasgow @laura_laker That's a shame. My first set of Ortlieb classic panniers survived about 20 years of daily use. Second set are going well - with improved brackets that can be adjusted without tools

@laura_laker @pool_press I must be hard on bags. My Ortlieb Vario broke repeatedly. The 5 year warranty was its best feature. It's no longer reparable because they don't make the part for it.

@sianberry Meanwhile £3.7bn allocated to an unproven idea: carbon capture and storage!

Rachel Reeves has only allocated £100 million extra to cycling and walking infrastructure: a fraction of what was needed. A failure to invest in Labour’s commitment to safer roads, cleaner air, healthier people and a healthier planet.

@Bricycles Meanwhile, £3.9bn has been allocated for carbon capture & storage, which many experts say won't make any difference

No sign of the 'unprecedented' investment that was promised, unfortunately. Between 2016 and 2021 the last government spent more than £600m per year on active travel.

Very excited to announce the launch of THE WATERSHED POLLUTION MAP! River health, landfills, sewage, road run-off, intensive farming, big industry, forever chemicals, abandoned mines, bathing waters, flood risk, protected areas and so much more... 🧵 bit.ly/45GBMRQ

@elizabethalker Nice! A Renault 4 in pond green. Shared with a friend who lived across town. If I wanted to use it I'd cycle over to his place. Small, but potent - that car fitted the bike when the back seats were folded down

Also…. what was YOUR first car? My Citroen ZX had ‘Pzazz’ sprayed on the side in a ‘handwriting’ font with a 🏝️ logo too…. 👌

@IanDunt inews.co.uk/culture/books/…

There is a reason for this. It's that the book is shit and everyone thinks he's a twat theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

@RevRichardColes Doesn't Avanti mean "before"?
