@Spagforth
I ride motorbikes and cycle a lot. Retired & squeezing the pips out of life. Growing old is inevitable growing up is optional.

@bsamotorcycles_ I just love BSAs. As a kid in the 50s Dad had a BSA A7 500 twin with sidecar which was our family transport. It never let us down. 65 years on & my love of BSAs is just as strong. Here are my 3, a 1970 A65 650cc Thunderbolt twin, 1955 B31 350cc single and a 1956 C12 250cc single.

Let us know…and we may just reshare some of our favourites…

Yes, #BSAisBack. And clearly we’re not the only ones so excited about that… At @motorcyclelive

@nedboulting @onj125 Sadly it's normal every day #cycling experience. The bonus being getting to the end of the ride without being wiped out. It's just how it is.

@Brixton_Ben26 @ProfKarolSikora It was 4 weeks ago when the news reported gazillions of people descending on to beaches and parks. People tutted, finger wagged and predicted #COVID__19 melt down. Has it happened? No! #lockdown is killing the country not the virus.
English
@ProfKarolSikora Lockdown doesn't work. Anyone who has opened their eyes can see that. No justification to lock up millions of people, prevent other treatments and ruin the education of thousands of children.

Here's another look at the countries that eased their lockdowns first, almost two months ago now.
Cases reported yesterday:
Denmark - 15
Norway - 18
Austria - 26
Czech Republic - 73
Remarkable stats. How is this happening? Something is going on that we don't fully understand.

@kersten_england Hang on in there Kersten. The communities of Bradford are well served with you at the helm. Stay strong, stay safe.

@CrackpotClarky I would add to that, keeping fit active and adopting a healthy lifestyle. The risks are miniscule if you are fit and healthy. Precautions are dumbed down to the lowest common denominator. Bonkers!

@Spagforth Covid is a virus that’s been around for millions of years. It’s only just made the leap to our species. It’s going to be around a lot longer than we are. We don’t know how it’s going to behave in the future but keeping apart is the only way to halt the spread at the moment

When the govt eases lockdown yet #COVID__19 is still killing over 300 a day (EU countries below 100) you’d think people would want to #StayAtHome but no, the English belligerence comes to the fore. It’s why we won the war!!!

It’s official, the English are the thickest breed indeed the planet.

@JohnSimpsonNews Also the heroic dedication and sacrifice by RAF fighter pilots who took on the Luftwaffe thus protecting as best they could the evacuating troops. At the time the RAF were vilified , " where we're the RAF"? They were there, above the low cloud , fighting , many losing their lives

80 years ago a third of a million British & allied soldiers were taken off the beach at Dunkirk. Among the tens of thousands of acts of individual courage, let's not forget the suicidal last stand on the edge of Dunkirk by French soldiers who kept the advancing Germans at bay.

Bike dealers are allowed to open in England from tomorrow. Will you be rushing out to go bike shopping?

@symerrrr @UKCycleChat Blow torch. Don't go mad but heat eases most things. Play the flame over the cassette close to the lock ring. Don't heat the lock ring. You are trying to expand the metal just enough to ease the threads.

@bbclaurak I can do what I want now so long as I am acting on 'instinct' and ' integrity'. #CummingsGo

If PM hoped press conference would calm things down ... a couple of govt scientific advisers publicly saying it’s undermined their work and more Tory MPs coming out ... 👇🏼

It is a classic case of 'do as I say, not as I do' - and it is not as if he was unfamiliar with guidance he himself helped draw up. It seems to me to be utterly indefensible and his position wholly untenable. 2/2

@jackthurston @Strava Great stuff! All Strava does is plot your physical decline! Good news for me not seeing that😁

Cyclists: Have you ever stopped with your bike at traffic lights and they stay on red?🚦
A busy set near me use inductive loops to detect the presence of ferrous metals. Many bikes are non-ferrous (Aluminium Alloy/Carbon Fibre), so are NOT picked up!🤔

@MCNnews @theJeremyVine And who did they trot out? Steve bloody Berry who simply reinforced the stereotype that we are all selfish twats.

@theJeremyVine We had no contact from the show, sadly, and had nothing to do with anyone speaking on it.

.@theJeremyVine Hi Jeremy, we understand there's a discussion about motorbikes on your show today and we wondered if you'd like us to be a part of the discussion. Let us know and we'll prepare a journalist to talk to you

@itvcycling @lancearmstrong Let's be honest it was all part of the culture. He was just that much better at it than anyone else.

@RochelleGilmore Great to hear you're back on it Rochelle after what must have been a most difficult time. Looking fantastic, as always😘

Thank you to all my followers who have been asking how I’m doing, worried about my absence from social media. I’ve been hesitant to offer an explanation until I got myself back to good health.... #ImBack 🤞

We might be surprised how quickly our descendants will forget us. Here’s a test. How many of your eight great-grandparents can you name?
