Twmpa Cycles

I did a wee interview with my friend Andy Dix of @TwmpaCycles for the @WhitneySawmill newsletter. Andy makes the most exquisite bicycle frames from ash. whitneysawmills.com/latest-news/20…

As a writer and campaigner who has spent 25 years working on climate, there is something I feel I need to say about the fossil fuels divestment campaign targeting Hay and other literary festivals. I’m saying it because it seems like no-one else can. Blog: marklynas.org/2024/05/25/sta…

I did an interview with Andy Dix, founder of @TwmpaCycles in a new series called 'Meet Your Maker', for @WhitneySawmill. The mill is now owned by @WoodlandHerita1, a wonderful charity at the heart of restoring a wood culture across the UK #madeinUKday whitneysawmills.com/latest-news/20…

@Robin_Eveleigh @SilvercloudW Good luck with this

Freelancing for 25 years, opportunities to sound the old personal news klaxon are thin on the ground, but here goes: new year, new part time comms role with NHS Wales' online CBT service, @SilvercloudW. HMU with any #mentalhealth #wellbeing news for Wales and beyond. TIA!

This is a big deal. Hats off to @adfreecities: Toyota ads banned on environmental grounds theguardian.com/media/2023/nov…

We could stop climate change – and the solutions to it could benefit us all. Tune in tonight at 9.15pm to watch The Great Climate Fight on Channel 4. #ClimateFight #ChangeClimate

On the off chance that I have followers in Sweden, in the city of Kalmar. I forgot to pack my thru axle for my Kinesis Tripster - if anyone has one I could use till Monday, that would make be happy. Nice pic riding the bike (: Pls RT if you want!

@NaichacaCycling @SprintCycling I'd put Thomas ahead of Yates. I'm still not sure about Remco. Let's see how he does in The Vuelta

🔥Ahead of La Vuelta: Who do you think are the Top 10 GC riders in the world RIGHT NOW? My Top 10: 1 Jonas Vingegaard 2 Tadej Pogacar 3 Remco Evenepoel 4 Primoz Roglic 5 Adam Yates 6 Geraint Thomas 7 Juan Ayuso 8 Enric Mas 9 Joao Almeida 10 S.Yates/C.Rodriguez 📸@SprintCycling

@RobPennWildwood @ShiptonMill Makes me think of Stranger Things

I don’t often bake straight white loaves, but the kids are home and they still turn their noses up at my wholemeal and rye creations. This high rise ripper baked with white YQ grown and milled on the farm next door and @ShiptonMill Traditional Organic White.

@lateraltruth @bikecation What an amazing trip!

Great tour from Bilbao to Biarritz via the heavily wooded Basque littoral, past glorious beaches and over low cols in the Cantabrian mountains. @bikecation
