David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The first thermometer made by Anders Celsius defined by the soild and gaseous phases of water had freezing at 100 and boiling at 0. That would have been fun! Metric for ever! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:He... 000
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Thanks so much Sarah and Doug of @thewaroncars.bsky.social for coming to Caper Bookshop in Oxford to share your vision of a world not dominated by motor vehicles 1205
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Excited to see the Oxford Greenways project recognise the importance of safe cycle routes into Oxford. Hope to see the Eynsham Greenway built before I’m too old to ride on it! 000
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Great analysis Danny- I completely missed the entrance point for the cycle path travelling East first time around when I visited yesterday. I predict many folks on bicycles will just stay on the road if it’s not clogged up 010
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Lots of Fiat Topolinos and Citroen Amis parked on the very narrow streets of central Amsterdam- seemed perfectly at home! 002
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Just back from a cycle tour of the Netherlands where we used the numbered nodes for navigation- what a great system! How can the UK Government be happy that our own cycle lane network has to be supported by a charity (although the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust does a great job with limited resources) 030
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 14/08/2026This was a really interesting episode- especially the discussion about e-bikes from a bike shop perspective. Essential listening if you are thinking of buying an e-bike! 110

Many thanks to the Eynsham Nature Recovery Network for the use of their tractor and grass cutter and to volunteer Nick for expertly cutting around our fruit trees! 111
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Would be great to see Windrush Bike Project here on Bluesky 000
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Well done Taylor- I’ve really enjoyed listening along on your ride and especially the fascinating interviews with the folks you met. All best from the UK 010

Reposted by David KnightMarkus Wagner @wagnermarkus.bsky.social · 05/07/2026How did I miss Wild Oxfordshire being on here for seven months? A big 'follow;' recommendation, particularly if you live in Oxfordshire! 033
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 03/07/2026It was fun to help out and talk with the visitors - and test my ‘bee or not a bee’ identification skills! 010
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Do you fancy dodging delivery robots clogging up our pavements? Pedestrians already get a raw deal on Britain’s streets. Happy to support @livingstreets.bsky.social Pavement Overload campaign. 275
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 04/06/2026It’s a cliffhanger! What’s the ‘one thing left to do”? A seater? 100
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Excellent news! Really look forward to cycling along them. Hope the pilots are a quietly roaring success! 040
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Had a wonderful time helping to marshal Oxford’s Spring kidical mass- inspiring to see folk of all ages - and some baby passengers - enjoying the streets of Oxford on two and sometimes three wheels! oxfordclarion.uk/kidical-mass...oxfordclarion.ukKidical Mass, spring 2026They came on balance bikes, cargo bikes, tandems, bikes with stabilisers, bikes with doll seats, and just plain bikes. But they filled the city with energy, and joy, and the tinkling of bicycle bells.... 021
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 08/05/2026From my experience even here across the pond UK fl oz has given way to ml in most cases, except buying a pint of beer in the pub. Most publicans don’t respond well when you ask for 568 ml of Theakston’s Old Peculier 120
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Really looking forward to visiting this new shop. Best of luck! 000
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Looking forward to more positive changes for those walking, wheeling and cycling across the County in the months and years ahead 010
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Well done Emily- keep doing what you do for the bicycling community of Oxfordshire 030

David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 28/04/2026My first car was a Morris 1100. Cost £10. Lasted until it bombed its annual MOT safety check. Wasn’t allowed to drive it out of the garage. The mechanic said he could bend the rusty suspension arms with his hands. Should have stuck to bicycles! 010
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Such a good episode- see our streets through a child’s eyes and they are very uninviting. 010
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 26/04/2026I’ve got to ask- in your email newsletter there’s a photo of the contents of Roman’s bag and what he describes as breakfast, a flask containing coffee blended with three eggs. I’ve clearly led a sheltered life and never heard of this. All I can imagine is a thick gooey mess? Tell me otherwise! 000
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 14/03/2026That back tyre definitely looks as deflated as Mr Caine 000
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Good functional bike racks but what is going on with the tree in the background? 100
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 08/03/2026I love to see Rivendell content here as it really complements the very active cycle community on the platform. It would be great if you would plug your bluesky account in your weekly email newsletters just as you do your instagram account. 110
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 18/02/2026Our newly laid hedge at Eynsham's Peace Oak Orchard. Thanks so much for support from @wildoxfordshire.bsky.social and @cpreoxfordshire.bsky.social to fund Toby, our amazing tutor and Hill End Outdoor Education Centre for providing stakes and binders. A truly collaborative effort! 062

David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 31/01/2026It would be so cool if someone made a movie about Dottie and the Big Five. 140
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 23/01/2026This was a great listen- and I’ve learned the difference between a RIS and a CWIS! 110
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Plus, we're not so good at subsistence farming as our forebears 010
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Hi Honest Monkey, thanks so much for adding this extra information 000
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 22/01/2026This is great to hear, but I wish OCC would at least cone off this bicycle bear trap on the B4044 Eynsham to Botley- reported to Fix My Street. 010
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 22/01/2026I bought a pair of these after having the same experience as you- it feels like you have a cable cutting superpower when using them! 110
David Knight @davidknight.bsky.social · 20/01/2026Woods Cyclery in the UK will be stocking Rivendell’s Silver derailleurs but if you are interested I’d recommend contacting them soon as I think they’ll sell out quickly. 000
