UK Tax returns have gone digital, which is fine in principle. What is not fine is that pretty much only paid solutions are acceptable for submitting a return. If electronic tax returns are mandatory, the government should be providing a cost-free means […]

@juliette I'm lucky to have changing rooms and showers at my office so I can wear cycling gear. I don't think I'd cycle to work if I had to wear office clothes, even on a e-bike.

Calvin and Hobbes cartoonist Bill Watterson expresses a Calvin-esque sentiment in a cycling self-portrait he drew for his college yearbook Happy #BicycleBirthday, Bill! Born July 5, 1958
Cartoon illustration featuring a young man riding a road bicycle on a country road. There's a thought bubble with the text: "Ah, I can take physics tests any day."

@RantyHighwayman the north side eastbound is particularly annoying as it dumps you back in shared road space, often with vehicles obstructing the end of the (short) segregated track. The volume of cyclists in the morning warrants limiting traffic to buses and taxis imho

@jfparis Awesome. I need to get one - my back wheel has seen better (straighter) days since a couple of spokes went pop. I also need to bleed my brakes and install new pads as I think I'm down to the backing plate 😱

@Lazarou well exactly. And it's a pretty well aligned skill set of building big things on stilts in the sea to drill for oil vs bit things on stilts to spin around

@Steffi I use a Van Rysel cape mainly because it's snug (minimal flapping) and packable. Imho there's no ideal option - too thick and waterproof and it's a sweat box. Breathable jackets only work when humidity is less than 100% e.g. it's not raining. Lightweight (like the Van Rysel) and it's […]
