Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 07/10/2026😂 I always read these picturing the events in my head. I do love Henry's writing. 030
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Chocolate chiffon and ganache cake. Probably the best thing I've baked in a very long time, in celebration of #GBBO. 020
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 30/09/2026If you're laughing at powerful people who are hurting.... I'd generally call that justified. 010
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Every so often I shock myself with competence. Gave my old, battered gravel bike a new lease of life with a new drivetrain and other bits. V happy that I spent the money on components rather than flogging or binning it. 010
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 22/09/2026There's a lot of crap going on in the world. But the Great British Bake Off is back on which is a tiny bit of relief. #GBBO 010
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 11/09/2026If you'd thought about this you'd have brewed a trappristry beer but here we are. 000
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I dunno, some of them skipped leg day. More like shin feign. 040
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Evening stroll and some beautiful skies here in #Faversham as the town begins to liven up for the #HopFestival. 000
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Not folky or celebratory of Faversham and its environs enough anymore for my tastes. It's lost its soul and is now just a drinking festival for people who've come down on the train 😕 110
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Incredibly depressing to see the chart stream completely dry - the first time I've seen it in this state. We're really reaping what we've sewn with this hot, dry, unprecedented summer which is clearly driven by climate change. 000
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Absolute nightmare trying to find a working charger on the Isle of Wight today. The payoff is you can't do this with your average petrol car... 000
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I suspect his supporters will still struggle with this one. 030
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Reason #4,711 why I love bikes: what other form of transport can take you 65 miles across counties, powered by nothing more than sugar puffs, coffee, last night's pizza, and a flapjack? 000
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Seaside views don't get more quintessential than this! Well, perhaps if it was raining, which it probably will be in the next hour. #Eastbourne 010
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Beautifully written. It's just awful you've had to write it. 010
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Massive misuse of the govt alert system. Wildfires are terrible, but they're all over the media. The alert should be saved for war, terror attacks, and things that are putting the whole population in imminent danger. 000
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 14/08/2026The people of Clacton: turkeys who enjoyed Christmas so much the first time around, they voted for it again 🦃 000
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 31/07/2026I've little experience, but doesn't that decide if you're a cunt or not? 110
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Post more on here, Chris. It's not that it's a more perceptive audience; it's that it's where the reasonable people have gone to. With the subtext that I have two Boardman bikes and of the four bikes I own, they're both in my 'I wouldn't sell' category. 000
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 31/07/2026I thought about that having been there last Sunday for 4am breakfast. Depressing. 000
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Free VPN trial and SBS Australia coverage. Balls to paying TNT a penny. 040
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 26/07/2026London to Dunwich overnight: done. The Dunwich Dynamo was quite an experience! Loved it. #DunwichDynamo #DunRun 080
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Filling out legal forms 'helped' by Tom the cat. #caturday 080
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Very much enjoyed the drive down to Portsmouth for the ferry to the island. EVs really are the way forward - when cycling and public transport is impractical... #Renault4 #EV 100
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Addendum: up to 28% of the fried breakfast was turned into forward motion. The rest was used as body fuel and waste heat. 000
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Stats to back up that lightbulb claim. 96w average - and I'm a heavy guy riding a heavily laden bike. The efficiency of cycling is genuinely mind boggling, and in this case the fuel was fried breakfast. 100
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Back after an overnight bikepacking trip. Reasons #7,563 and #7,564 why bikes are great: we each carried an entire camping setup on our bikes with ease, and, I travelled almost 37 miles at over 11mph using less energy than an old incandescent lightbulb. #cycling #bikes #CoolBikes 120
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Lovely gravel ride this morning, almost 40 miles of near solitude and lovely views. #cycling #kent #Canterbury #Whitstable #Swale 030
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Growth is finite and the capitalist economy dictates it. GCSE Geography teaches you about Kondratiev cycles. The benefits of not driving a car are outside of this. Wes Streeting is a moron, who, in photographs, always cuts the figure of someone whose arse smelled worse than the fart he imagined. 010
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 05/06/2026My commute either takes a similar time to driving (I assume - never done it), or much longer because I've gone one of the almost infinite wiggly routes between work and home. I wish more people realised the freedom and joy that cycling brings. 030
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 02/06/2026I'm not sure what the point of your comment is then, other than appearing to be annoyed that person whose job it is to side with active travel does job 🤷 100
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Read my post again. It reads like the car injured them. It didn't. They injured themselves by crashing their car. It's bad English. 100
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 24/05/2026The driver wasn't injured after a car flipped on its side. The driver flipped the car on its side and got injured. It was through their own ineptitude, not an aggressive action by a vehicle. 100
Ben @benwhite5.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Yeah enjoyed watching a non European, genocidal state, come second. Good times. Well done everyone. Brilliant stuff 000
