Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 always puts a smile on my face when I’m on the bike. There is always a good view to be had. This is the view from the top of Cwmcarn Forest. #cycling

A good couple of hours on the bike this morning. Plenty of climbing, but rewarded with the views. The South Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Valleys have a lot to offer and most of the motorists are kind.

A beautiful day to be out on the bike. I am always in awe of the incredible workmanship of viaducts. ‘This one at Porthkerry near Barry is stunning and still in use today. #viaducts #bikes

We finally had a dry day and it was nice to be able to have a leisurely ride and stop and take photos. It makes a change from the head down and waterproofs mode. #cycling

I would say the same for Wales. The same stories on the news page for days on end. It could and should be much better. Will Hayward is doing far more for Wales with quality journalism than the BBC.

Low cloud below the hill line. The pillar of the former Walnut Tree Viaduct at Taffs Well stands proud as a reminder of our industrial past in Wales.

Ghent, Belgium. A place where pedestrians, cyclists, a tram and cars share the road space in harmony. This is how it’s done.

A former railway line, now part of the National Cycle Network. At least 40 of the 53 miles I cycled were former railway lines. They would have made a difference in today’s world, but there was no foresight with the Beeching cuts. #Blackwood #wales.

Cosmeston Lakes, Penarth at 6am. Not a sole in sight and the wildlife was enjoying every minute of it. Always a good time to be on the bike too as there is no traffic.

We all make choices. I decided I would cycle the 20 miles home from work tonight. I could have chosen to drive down the A470, but I preferred this view.
