A bit of summer and a bit of winter in the Rakaia Gorge yesterday, who needs Paris-Nice when we have our own beautiful scenery in New Zealand..?

@EuroHoody Just logged on to see this sad news. Barry was such a fun, whimsical guy with a tongue-in-the-cheek sense of humor. We had a lot of laughs working together on his autobiography "Watching The Wheels Go Round" in 1980-81. I hope Barry's passing was peaceful for him and wife Helen.

Why do so many children in the Netherlands cycle? 🌍🚴‍♂️ The BBC’s brilliant Newsround programme asked me to explore… bbc.co.uk/newsround/vide… An uplifting little film for your feed 🌱

"Bohemian Trumpsody" from @marshsongs may just be the best thing I've seen all day. Not only are the lyrics spot on, but man they can saaaaaaang!

@rwilliams1947 Yes, Richard, absolutely awful. Even hard to watch the Euros because of all those hideous shorts -- now we have a WHOLE season to endure them!

One day, Adidas will be made to pay for the appalling shorts they’ve inflicted on this season’s football.

@amrook Totally correct, Anne-Marie. Vos and Kopecky were cooked--only Vas had something left in her legs, but nowhere near enough.

@rwilliams1947 Even worse here in the States, Richard, with NBC inserting 2-minute commercial breaks willy-nilly when big things were happening.

The sustained incompetence of the TV direction of this magnificent Olympic men’s road race in Paris verges on the criminal.

I rode the Montmartre circuit — think Il Poggio with cobbles; big-ring climb with narrow streets near Sacre Coeur - fast descent, positioning will be key #Paris2024

A new 5 yr Belgian study shows the BIG impact of increasing vehicle weight on road deaths & injuries. When a person on a bike or walking is hit by a pick-up, the risk of serious injury increases by 90% compared to a car. The risk of death goes up by 200%. vias.be/fr/newsroom/de…

@russelwongphoto @TamauPogi Very cool, Russel! You should listen to my autistic nephew, Rio "Soulshocka" Wyles, who 's recorded some great rap songs and performed this year with Stephen Stills at the Greek in LA.

@raykerckhoffs Very sad news. Willi was a true character in the TdF press room. We would always listen to "the Basler" when he expressed his opinions. RIP, Herr Erzberger.

Triest nieuws Willi Erzberger is op 91-jarige leeftijd overleden. Tientallen jaren was hij dé wielerverslaggever van de Basler Zeitung. Ver na zijn pensioen nog werkzaam. Hij was 'ein bunter Mensch'. RIP Willy Een mooi verhaal met hem 5 jaar geleden: aargauerzeitung.ch/sport/basel/di…

What do real people say about a separated bikeway and the mobility options it gives them they didn't have before? This is a great little video of all sorts of users who can now choose to ride a bike much more safely for their local trips
