Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I don't know anything about fungi but these looked interesting on my dog walk. #fungi #mushrooms 020
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 06/09/2026First road cycle post injury (5x broken ribs, broken sternum & shoulder). Felt like Dave Allen from last night. It’s going to be a long road back 😭 #Cycling #Cornwall 051
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 01/09/2026How I feel at MOT time or belonging to a queue of traffic and how I feel on my bike. Fantastic illustration (stolen from bike commute FB) #ActiveTravel #Cycling 010
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I’m hoping for an impartial judgement 😉 www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5... 120
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 13/08/2026We camped up our field last night. It was a beautiful night. The meteor shower was epic. We had planned to be further on with our project (AL1) but the field purchase took forever and the weather has been extreme. 020
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 07/07/2026New “car” day for the wife yesterday. Just need to order the front basket for it #ActiveTravel #Cycling 020
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Well that was brutal. I didn’t know my bike or myself was capable of that. Toughest climbs and trails I’ve ridden. #MTB #Audax #Cycling 2120
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 13/06/2026So, after 3870km, my N.EXT 700x34c (set up tubeless) tyres on my commuter bike (Planet X Kaffenback) were finally cooked. Had some Schwalbe Marathon Plus 700x38c (tubed) kicking about so fitted them. They’re quite different to ride on. Will see how they last in comparison. #cycling #activetravel 000
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Morning commute 😍 #Spring #Nights #Cornwall #ActiveTravel 030
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 28/01/2026So glad I went to this. Sarah is such an inspiration. #Cycling 030
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 16/01/2026Well. Our purchase of 3 acres is with the solicitors now. Fingers crossed I can make the dream a reality! #OffGrid 000
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 11/10/2025Social media is always keen to sell you idyllic, rural, West Cornwall. The quiet. Just peace, animals and birds. What they don’t talk about is the DANGERS! This morning a falling horse chestnut (conker), spiky shell included, fell from a tree and struck my ear! Ouch! #Cornwall #RuralLiving #Nature 030
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 08/10/2025Me enjoying the weekend (mine is on a Wednesday this week). Phone rings at 9am. “Can you do overtime today (we start at 0730)?” “No but I can come in tomorrow and Friday.” That was a short weekend 😂 010
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 01/10/2025I found this to be a very interesting read. Maybe government ministers should read it too. It stresses that when societies become unequal, those societies (countries/empires) collapse. 051
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 05/09/2025Nice haul of blackberries & apples from my lane so made a crumble #Countryside #Cornwall 040
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 23/08/2025Horrible news for Intel. I have questions… 1. Will Intel’s “T” line of processors now stand for “Trump?” 2. Will they be gold? 3. Will their AI capabilities only extend to generating pictures of young girls? PC Gamers know from experience that competition is important. #Hardware #Intel #AMD 011
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 17/08/2025A bit of resistance training this morning 😳 #cycling #ActiveTravel 030
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 14/08/2025This is one of my “favourite” pieces of infrastructure! Look at the sign placement on a shared path! 🙈😂. #ActiveTravel #Cycling #Walking #Cornwall 020
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 14/08/2025The #cycle was great. A lot of traffic even on the back roads though #SummerHolidays #Cornwall 😬 040
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 10/08/2025Beautiful evening looking over the valley I live in 😍 010
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 07/08/2025As part of my father’s birthday celebration, a couple of beers were sank between the Mexico Inn, Longrock and the Packet Inn, Rosudgeon. #BskyBeer 0112
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 07/08/2025I’m trying a cargo bike for the first time later today. At 6’6, this is how I will look… 140
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 06/08/2025Hopefully it’ll be fun. We’re heading out from Penzance and stopping in Marazion for pasties/ice cream then off to Newlyn and back to PZ. My wife and eldest daughter will be on Super73s and my Dad on a Synch’s S-Cargo (designed in Dorset). 110
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 06/08/2025I’m test riding a cargo bike tomorrow afternoon for a couple of hours. It’ll be the first one I’ve ridden. Pretty excited but not quite as much as my youngest daughter who’s gonna ride in the front. #ActiveTravel 140
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 06/08/2025Second/Third only to riding my bike/reading a great book is listening to Tool on a decent set of headphones. #Music #Metal #Bowers&Wilkins 000
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 31/07/2025A cracking pint of Verdant Minature Cymbals at the Mexico Inn, Marazion #Cornwall #BskyBeer 0131
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 31/07/2025A bit of Dad and Daughters time at Marazion today. #Family #Cornwall 010
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 30/07/2025Thanks very much Craig. They do indeed sell the shirt 👍 010
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 30/07/2025Beast of a caterpillar! Privet Hawk Moth according to Google. butterfly-conservation.org/moths/privet... #nature #caterpillar #moth 000
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 30/07/2025Thankfully you caught it! I’m waiting on a #Parcelforce delivery, they can’t find my house! I can’t use either their automated phone system or website because I don’t have a “sorry we missed you slip.” I’ve had to fill out a complaints form online instead (48hr response time) 🙄 100
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 27/07/2025My legs and lungs are finally feeling strong again after what, in June, must have been a Covid variant. #Cycling #Fitness 130
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 26/07/2025Great content from Will again. If you’re not subscribed to his YouTube channel, do it now! 110
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 25/07/2025Refreshing post work, post cycle commute beer. I’m not usually a lager fan but this was pleasant (received as a gift) #BSkyBeer 0122
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 18/07/2025No idea what was up with Remco? Great performances from Jonas, Roglic, Onley and Lipowitz. Tadej just not normal, in his own league. #TdF #TourDeFrance 010
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 12/07/2025Admire Pogacar, Love Jonas, Love Cofidis-Look more. This is the way. Stop the childish bitching people! #TourDeFrance #TdF 020
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 12/07/2025I’m basically a metalhead. But this weather does me spin some alternative genres #Music #Summer 010
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 11/07/2025I’ve only got a budget groupset on my steel commuter (SRAM Apex 1x11 42T, 11-42T Hydro) for cost/mileage reasons but I still find it crazy how well it’s shifts. It really is excellent. #BikeTech #Cycling #ActiveTravel. 020
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 11/07/2025One thing I find odd about the S5 & R5 from #Cervelo. The naming convention. Maybe it’s because of my Britishness but S reads “sport” and R for “racing.” To me they seem the wrong way round 🤔 #BikeTech #TdF #TourDeFrance #Cycling 000
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 10/07/2025I’d love to see MVDP and/or WVA in the breakaway on Stage 6 today 😍 #TdF #TourDeFrance 000
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 10/07/2025I really feel like having a beach party like I did in my youth. A few changes would be necessary. Craft ales instead of super strong cider. A travel bbq rather than disposable. Bring a salad, water and electrolytes #HealthIsWealth. Bed time at 10pm rather than 4am. #Cornwall 131
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 09/07/2025Just been out for a pedal and a pint on this beautiful, sunny day. Back in time to watch the big guns at the Tour #Cycling #TdF #TourDeFrance #BskyBeer 041
Dan Birchett @dbirchett.bsky.social · 04/07/2025Yeah, I’ve already starting to see some of them on my commute through Marazion. Bloody massive vehicles with drivers distracted by the view. They also seem to have no clue what this sign means? 020
