@bristolballoon is the mass ascent going ahead this morning (Sunday)?

@AvantiWestCoast the (delayed) 1424 from Oxenholme to London Euston is an absolute delight. A wonderful, let’s all sit on the floor for £80 party! The overflowing bins really make it.

@TowerHamletsNow Sorry you’re missing the point - refuse collected a bunch of flytipped stuff, left the fridge. The fridge makes it look like it’s ok to dump stuff and so the pile grows again. As you can see. Please send someone to clear it all and hopefully the problem will stop. Thank you!

@jamesspender Hi there, for bulky waste, you'll need to fill out a form for collection: orlo.uk/aUMQt

@TowerHamletsNow Hi, you cleared some of the rubbish outside Gayton House E3 but left this fridge, which has now attracted some more friends… this is what happened last time. If there’s rubbish people add to it. Please can you clear it all away? Thanks!

@TowerHamletsNow hi guys, reported online as you suggested but it’s still here at Gayton House E3 - and the longer it stays for the more stuff gets added; I think people now see this as the local tip😬

@TowerHamletsNow Thanks, I’ve done this now. Look forward to that sweet sweet tidy street soon ;-)

@jamesspender Hi James, thanks for flagging. Could we check if you've reported this online? This is the fastest way to get flytipping and other street issues sorted as it goes straight to the team: orlo.uk/U1Mj8

@TowerHamletsNow hey guys, fancy clearing this any time soon? It’s been here about a month and is gathering steam! Outside Gayton House E3.

@ulif @ShaneaORourke @gfny @ulif count me in! I’ll dust off that turbo and charge my hidden motor

Thanks for putting this together @jamesspender , I need to kick your ass again at a GFNY somewhere. Thanks @ShaneaORourke for sharing. You both actually did @gfny Italia two years ago. GFNY Vaujany for the three of us and Greg LeMond in 2022?

“Aero bike or light bike?” “Light!” I’ve been a huge fan of Greg LeMond since 1985 when I watched him as a 10 year old racing against Hinault with my dad (who was a Hinault supporter) on a small b/w TV during summer vacations.

In Britain, cycling as both a mode of transport and leisure is white, male dominated. So for GPs to prescribe cycling for health, you first you need to make it more inclusive. cyclist.co.uk/in-depth/8502/…

In Episode 1 of the Cyclist Magazine Podcast, we discuss Marco Pantani's ascent of the Colle Fauniera at the 1999 Giro d'Italia and how no rider's in the current peloton have the character of Il Pirata. This video only confirms our claims…

🚴‍♀️ London's road to recovery cannot be clogged with cars. 🚶‍♂️ Together with councils, we’re already rapidly creating new cycle lanes and space for people walking.   🚴‍♀️ From Hackney to Hounslow, Pimlico to Putney, great to see support from Londoners for #StreetspaceLDN.

🚨Some personal news 🚨 Despite all this madness, @jamesspender and I have launched the Cyclist Magazine Podcast. It's been a long time coming but it's here and I reckon it'll be half decent. You can subscribe already, too! @cyclist open.spotify.com/show/1ohoiZq9H…
