Dr. Jackie Barker

So I was riding my bike in Bath, minding my own business, when a woman on foot lurched up beside me and shouted “You’re just a c**nt on a bicycle”. At first I was shocked, but now I think I’d like to get that on a T-shirt. And maybe use it as my epitaph. Or my Twitter bio.

They say never meet your heroes, but they never met @Auntiekay28 at the #bromptonworldchampionships (we both dressed to match our bikes)

Really useful thread, especially as there’s so little good data to draw on now….

@MeristemDesign @hackneycouncil @SaskiaHeijltjes can we have these in Bath? Cycle to the hub. Lock up your bike. Haul your stuff in the cargo bike and return for your accoustic bike. Genius.

We've just installed our 1st Cargo Bike Parklets for @hackneycouncil rental scheme. Perfect for local business & residents to transport bulky items w/o the need for a car.

@HUChrisLL @carlafrancome I do the same - when I use my commute for training I lug my laptop around. When I’m not training I somehow manage with my phone and a shared computer.

@carlafrancome Old-school road racers used to put a house brick or a big dictionary in the saddlebag on training rides. I achieved something similar a couple of days ago with a change of clothes, some reading matter and a D lock. My calves are telling me it was a bad idea.

@Greenchutes @girlonabrompton I love it. If you go back through my tweets you will find a short thread reflecting on why it works for me.

@opsologist @girlonabrompton Don't feel obliged to reply, but is the ARCC conversion good? I'm thinking of doing it and would be interested in your thoughts.

@carlafrancome So sorry Carla. What a rotten thing to happen.

Well, I’ve got a nice “unhappy cyclist” photo to add to your stock library collections folks, as today I was mugged on my bike. Not whilst stopped at lights, or on the pavement, but whilst actually cycling. I was riding along this *charming* stretch here, when … 1/7

@LenniCoffey Really well timed! I’m just contemplating a journey to Portugal and wondering how to go. On my last trip a GWR train strike forced me onto a coach and into using the toilets at Victoria Coach Station - I am forever scarred - so based on your article I am saving for the train…

I finally wrote about my mental overland Spain trip! Coach vs train: which wins out on a flight-free odyssey to southern Spain? (hopefully some helpful info in there for anyone wanting to plan a similar itinerary) independent.co.uk/travel/sustain…

@hgillmusic @carlafrancome So not the great baked goods then?

Deadline extended. Don’t know what a trustee does? Chat to us. Think it couldn’t be you? Chat to us. It’s all going on down on the Farm.

@carlafrancome Not into Strava or club rides and I would struggle to be in London early enough but ‘The best baked goods in London’ caught my attention. Fortitude Bakehouse is now on my list of things to do next time I’m in the big smoke.

Errmygadddd today I did my first ever Regents Park laps and the rush was real! For those who don’t know, there’s no motor traffic before 7 AM, so it’s the perfect place to ride. Cycling, giraffes and the best baked goods in London. THREADDD!🧵… 1/14

There are still a few spaces left to sign up for this year's Summer Camp! Expect to craft, cook and camp in our magical woodland at Boiling Wells. Drop us an email: childandyouth@swcityfarm.co.uk to get involved 🌳☀️🐾✨🌱 #summercamp

@carlafrancome @ElectricCranks You are killing it

I went out training at 6 AM today to avoid the heat, and was so chuffed to be wearing this gorgeous cycling jersey that I was sent by the @ElectricCranks 🌟🌟 They are total legends: Pre and post-op heart and lung transplant patients who usually ride electric bikes to … 1/6

@kennyardouin 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

We’ve had an amazing 10 days exploring the Gold Coast, Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef - it’s amazing what I’ve found in Australia: crocodiles, sharks, stingrays, a turtle, vampires, and even a fiancée! 💍🐊🦈🐢🧛‍♂️☀️🇦🇺

@LenniCoffey I know, right? Puffa jackets meet cut-offs and flip flops.

June in London is wild because today I have both seen a woman in a literal bikini top and a man in a giant, fur-hooded coat

@KRutlidge It’s the champagne bar that tips the balance isn’t it?
