I subscribe to your ethos.

I can recommend Peak Bean, they tend to change the decaf offering every so often so not sure on the current one. I drink their caffeinated but have traditionally had stomach issues with coffee, yet theirs seems to agree with me. peakbean.co.uk?product_cat=...

I purchased one of those bird feeders with a WiFi camera built into it for my partners birthday, and I’m now addicted to a new app!

And bicycle parts… It’s the kind of unwrapped I would rather be left in blissful ignorance.

Jon @coffeecycle.cc · 06/12/2025

I got an invasive “2025 Unwrapped” when I logged into my banking app today, this crap is getting out of hand!

Jon @coffeecycle.cc · 03/12/2025

Fairly eclectic mix my side it turns out.

Jon @coffeecycle.cc · 02/12/2025

Congratulations! Well deserved.

Found somewhere in the middle of the beer store, this smoked ESB is Torrside in a glass to me. Invokes memories of brewery taps gone by. Lovely smoked flavour that adds to but doesn’t overpower the ESB. Bottled August 2022, best before April 2023 (like that matters), tasting superb in November 2025.

It does appear they missed the brief somewhat. Maybe that is the first test of suitable compatibility.

Jon @coffeecycle.cc · 08/11/2025

Got a much needed week off work with a couple of days where OH is still in work. I am determined not to A) get dragged into work issues (as often happens), B) waste time doing nothing, although some amount of nothing is acceptable, C) let a list of chores take over. Planning restorative activities.

So… “My bio” surely indicates that the information contained within is specifically about them. Are they hoping they are themselves someone they can date…. 😳

Don’t think Larry would get away with that title….

Jon @coffeecycle.cc · 25/08/2025

Cheers. Getting mixed messages on internet, seems some events might be ok, but nothing specific on the website. I’ll ping them a message.

Jon @coffeecycle.cc · 25/08/2025

Anyone know if you can take a dog into Stockroom?

Jon @coffeecycle.cc · 23/08/2025

Nice. My first one was a Master System as well, but I switched allegiance & went to the SNES. My next mission is to find my first computer, the Commodore C16, which is still in their house somewhere I’m sure!

Jon @coffeecycle.cc · 23/08/2025

I had that issue with the SNES, but I ended up picking up an old TV from Facebook marketplace for my office that has all the needed ports. Tuned the Master System into the analogue aerial connection, old school!

Jon @coffeecycle.cc · 23/08/2025

I found an old Super Nintendo (SNES) & Sega Master System II at my parent’s house. Had to source some cables for them but incredibly both work perfectly. The Sega cables turned up the morning, 35 years old with original controller & it still works like it’s brand new.

If you've missed it, then this emotional goodbye from the ITV cycling team who present the Tour De France is worth watching. Feels very heartfelt and left a lump in my throat. They're going to be missed🥲🥲🥲 @nedboulting.bsky.social youtu.be/efs8LibK_fo?...

I thought Bryan Adams would have been higher, given he was at number 1 for what felt like 90% of the 90s!

Jon @coffeecycle.cc · 27/06/2025

Might give that one a go this weekend. 👍

Jon @coffeecycle.cc · 20/06/2025

Back from a toasty weeks camping trip in the southern Lake District, straight into the local for some much needed refreshments after battling the M60!

Picture of a pint of beer on a wooden table. The pint glass has the name of the pub on it “Beer Shed”.

PSI: I’ve just eaten the doughnut & my eyes have been opened to the wonders of Paczki!

More deep fried cheese please.

Yes definitely, that would be the dream. It’s the soapbox I always go on when in a car with anyone going down the A6.

Stockport really does feel like it’s having a bit of a resurgence, so many cool looking places opening up & new development going on.

For those who recommended Sticky Fingers to me, I doff my cap! 👌 Biscoff Cheesecake & a chocolate doughnut (because I’m a sucker for a doughnut).

Has Sticky Fingers moved from the indoor market to the underbanks now?

Can anyone recommend a great place for a decent coffee & cake in Stockport? It’s a certain someone’s birthday & they fancy a treat whilst in town.

Got out for a few hours ride on the White Peak Loop today. Leisurely ride out from Blackwell Mill (Buxton) to Rowsley & back. First time riding the Bridleway on the other side of the Monsal Trail, made for some nice riding & I’ll be back for a longer ride soon! 👍🚲

View from the White Peak Loop bridleway between Bakewell & Rowsley. Green fields head out to a panorama of hills. Sheep are grazing.

Watched this earlier, really sad.

Kicking off a 4 day weekend off work with a bit of a session after dropping the car off at the garage in Stockport.

Picture of me with a pint & Larry the chihuahuas on my knee. Sat in the Runaway brewery beer garden.

Great work, well done.👏

Obviously won’t affect the sale of them, but might help the cause in the area.

Jon @coffeecycle.cc · 14/05/2025

That’s a better plan to not fund the things.

100

Jon @coffeecycle.cc · 14/05/2025

They really need to ban these things! If I knew they wouldn’t restock them I’d go buy them all to dispose of.

Jon @coffeecycle.cc · 14/05/2025

Made me laugh, I too find it a hard habit to break, it’s one I’ve been consciously working on for a while though.

100

It would make sense too, there appears to be room to build it.

I’m backing up another vote for A6 for same reasons, plus I’m desperate to cycle to work, and I would do the 14 or whatever miles it is down the A6, if I wasn’t scared of being squashed.

As someone who works in Manchester City Centre & has to (less frequently at the moment) head to another office at Media City, I never found a route I was happy with. It may have improved since.

Picturesque start to this stage of the #Giroditalia - Another place to add to my “to visit” list.

That worked thanks. A bit low but will be fine till I can be bothered to take the tire off, clean & fully replace.
