After work which bike ride.

Andy Smith @avetchling.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Yesterday's #bike #ride in #Devon. A badly timed road closure meant I went up Haldon hills 3 times. www.komoot.com/tour/3214932...

Today I got over 51 miles out of my #Ribble #ebike still with 30% battery left at the end. Lovely road and no need for the range extender.

Dear #GWR How is this supposed to work? Booked bike space but uncooked sausages space was there already. #cycling #commuting #plymouth #devon #2ndclasscycling

As a guy in a country with a king, I understand how much better it would be if we didn't have one. Nice to know how easy it is to find your nearest protest at www.nokings.org #NoKings #Protest

I do like a bike ride you can't do by car. For this one, I included a passenger only ferry and lots of single track roads.

Motonormativity Motonormativity is an unconscious cognitive bias in which the assumption is made that motor car ownership and use is an unremarkable social norm.

Don't ever say that voting for someone doesn't make a difference. All those in the #USA who voted for #Trump have proved how powerful #votes are. They put into power a #felon with a #mafia style of governing. And if the #DeepState did exist, it'd have tackled him to the ground and sat on him.

This was supposed to be shorter but I went on a longer way back when the battery on my phone sank to 0%

Anyone here is too young to remember why #GWR trains had these things? They are still between seats. #21stCenturyRelics #ScreensonTrains #RedundantTech

With the #roadworks in Northern #Plymouth at the moment this #commute I did on my #Bike would have taken over half an hour.

#Nigel #Kemi and #Keir. The UK isn't 'full', #Reform #Farage #NoSpaceForRefugees It's just mostly full of cows, sheep, and their feed.

However, a study found that loose coins in a jar leave around 40% empty space. So in reality, Elon’s fortune as a pile of coins would take up about 640,000 cubic metres—roughly the size of a 100-metre-wide, 60-metre-tall cone of pure money. #BecauseHe'sNotWorthIt #WealthTax #UniversalBasicIncome

If #ElonMusk converted his entire fortune into British £1 coins, the pile would weigh approximately 2,744,493 tonnes. Melted down, that’s a 455,498 cubic metre block—77 metres on each side. #CheckMyMaths

I'm off to Dartmouth in a minute. I think I'm safe. Ish.

Then the UK says, 'Hold my beer'. Over here, the Tories had a scheme to remove asylum seekers that would have cost between $250 000 and £3.75M per person! #WorldBeating #FinancialChaos #Tories #CostOfLivingCrisis migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/co...

First bike ride since having a lovely new year cough. Only spoiled a little by getting a puncture so close to home that I walked the last bit rather than trying to repair it. #Devon #EBike #Dartmoor

Lovely public spirit shown by a property owner in #Devon giving pedestrians on a road without a pavement to use the wall & use their property to keep away from cars on the road. #WarOnCars #SaferStreets

Property boundary wall giving permission to pedestrians to walk inside property to keep safe.

I do like walking around with a piece of kit in my pocket that can capture this image of the sky tonight out of my kitchen window. #SkyatNight #Totnes #Devon #MobilePhoneCamera #Starscape

Wonderful hike up to #HoneybagTor in #Dartmoor on #BoxingDay. Brilliant #Bluesky with amazing #TempertireInversion. It caught up with us on the walk back to the car.
