@Doctor_Hutch @xavierdisley Nuptial gains.

@simonsmythe @xavierdisley Liking the aero possibilities offered by that saddle bottle-cage. We need to get that in the tunnel.

Got married last week, was great 10/10 would recommend 😀

@Doctor_Hutch @xavierdisley They really needed this on their wedding list ebay.co.uk/itm/3956650330…

@simonsmythe @xavierdisley But only one of them has mudguards. That's going to be an issue somewhere down the line.

@Andymcgra @dsmfirmpostnl Wow, imagine how well they would do if they sang a good song 🤯

The real secret to Charlotte Kool and @dsmfirmpostnl #TDFF2024 success? Singing Coldplay's Yellow on their team bus karaoke machine pre-race. Pfeiffer Georgi: "We sang it yesterday and that was our good luck charm, so again today!"

Insights from @xavierdisley

The fastest bike I’ve ridden all year (sorry Mercian)

@DanBiggles22 Agreed. I love this book and its author. I am the proud owner of a signed first edition with a special message.

The coolest book I’ve read in a while. Well worth £60.

@amrook Appalling. Hope you heal quickly and that justice is served.

@Doctor_Hutch @MerseyRoads24 @ArcticAircon_RT Great effort. Is that a time trial-specific deckchair in custom team colours?

My first ever 24-hr time trial at the weekend, at the @MerseyRoads24. The weather was horrible, and it turns out that 24 hours is a really long time to ride a TT bike. But 486 miles, 4th place and @ArcticAircon_RT won the team. I sort of enjoyed it. Sort of.

#KidicalMass is coming to #Redhill & #Earlswood in #Surrey on Monday 8th May If you live nearby and like the idea of a fun, family-friendly bike ride for all ages, please come along. More details below. #cycling #ActiveTravel #familyfun

Here is my Dry January confessional.

@roubaixcc Cheers – I will definitely do that 👍

Garmin Epix (Gen 2) review - superb functionality, brilliant display, changed my life cyclingweekly.com/reviews/bike-a… It even made me do Dry January.

@tomcdevon @DeregDesign Yeah @DeregDesign – are you listening?

@simonsmythe @DeregDesign Hahaha. If you want to tell the time buy a £10 Casio not a Lange!

@tomcdevon @DeregDesign If you’re a multisport person you would love it. I’ve been using this one for a year and it’s showing no signs of slowing down (luckily no mainspring or balance bridge 😉)

@simonsmythe @DeregDesign *garmin. #bloodyautocorrect

@tomcdevon @DeregDesign I daren’t ask what you think of that new-fangled ‘safety bicycle’…

@DeregDesign @simonsmythe Call me an fart, but if its on my wrist it needs a mainspring and balance bridge!

@DeregDesign It’s bike-riding time of course!

Epic story of the 1986 speed record – just writing it was terrifying enough…

@100Climbs @cyclingweekly @Mamnick Cover cakes.

ADOPT A PRO MINDSET. Me (left) and some other fella on the front of this week’s @cyclingweekly . Quick get to the shops while stocks last!

@davearthur I loved it but it wasn’t made to measure 😉

@simonsmythe No C68?

Best cycling things of 2022 by the last person in the world who’s not into gravel.
