John A 🚲

Finishing back where I started, back on the 22nd June. Altogether on this ride, I've ticked off 728km in 2 and a bit days. Think I might have a rest now.

@salamanderpumps recently moved into a house with your CT60B fitted and it sounds like this ⬇️ Is that normal?

@Secret_Squidgle @Absolutemtb1 @MrsMoonCakes @diminutivefox @CB_cycles @SalfordMe2023 @LlamaBusiness @owentrucker @CyclingStu2 @graeme_cobb @AntiEVidiots @LucyLetbyTrials @parthaskar Just made the switch too!

All my worldly possessions are currently *somewhere* with three blokes I met yesterday/today. Funny old game this property transaction malarkey ain't it...

Most especially my workshop/bike room! Took all of 10 mins...

FINALLY. After a few days short of a whole year since putting our house on the market, tomorrow is moving day. Stunned by how professionally & rapidly two chaps from our movers packed up our entire 3 bed house (we did little prep - washing was still in the machine this morning)

@PCorfe You get all the glamorous jobs! 🤣

Ont' FERRY

@PCorfe Quite... Only the one short bike ride so far as well! All plans out the window...

Well this is not the holiday we had planned... On our first full day we dabbled around the lake. Noting the contamination, everyone was very careful to clean up properly after. Child 2 however still has succumbed to severe sickness. Now 3.5 days in and no improvement...

@diminutivefox "relaxed"

Good morning... The view for the next week 😎 provided the weather stays this good!

@Smart2k @roadcc You'd hope so...

@johna3c @roadcc As an ebike rider I wonder why one was seized (unless they've incorrectly described an illegal electric motorbike - you'd think they'd know the difference)

Thames valley Police showing how to stoke a culture war. Operation LYCRA ffs. @roadcc

Mother Thames looking particularly moody, late morning today... In the shadow of the Dartford crossing, not that you'd know!

@PCorfe Never in doubt!

"Proper" cycle commute today... Officially a lycra-clad, road bike riding, backpack wearing commuter again (infrequently, around once a week... Otherwise Brompton)

The car park was never the problem. It's a convenient excuse. Retail is nervous with a pending redevelopment of the shopping centre & unwilling to commit to leases. Nevertheless, blaming the car park is wrong & missing the point. Wouldn't hurt to highlight the alternatives, tho.

I'm normally very supportive of our local press but this is weak journalism at best. Singular focus on one side of a single factor in a much wider story. No mention of the numerous bus routes which get folk closer to the shops than the MSCP did, and for cheaper. 1/2
