Great morning on the 🚴‍♂️ Cracking autumn afternoon. But. Is there a way to isolate a neighbours electricity supply? No idea what he’s doing, but it sounds like noisy cunt has dragged a cement mixer outside and thrown a brick in it. All fucking afternoon….

On Friday 16th October I'm doing a talk about our LEJOG in memory of Tim McKenna at the Cycle Touring Festival. It's online so you can tune in from wherever you are. It will be a poignant but hopefully joyful talk about why we all loved Tim so much 💚 cycletouringfestival.co.uk/whatson/

Helmets are often misinterpreted as the solution to safety. Put simply, they aren't. Helmets protect your head from an uncontrolled fall. Proper infrastructure is what protects you from multi-ton vehicles. Don't conflate the two, they are worlds apart.

It is also such an old debunked argument. When the temperance movement succeeded in crushing Scandinavian pubs, excess drinking moved into the home (and other far less civil spaces than pubs) the alcohol also of dubious standard. Certain dry countries have this issue today.

Some people seem to inherently associate pubs as places to drink alcohol, not community hubs where people come together, especially lonelier, older people. Pubs closing does not mean people will "drink less". The opposite is true, they will drink at home, without a community to watch out for them.
