If you’ve ever wondered what occurs when a country is fatigued beyond all breaking points by endless culture warring and confected moral panics… …look at how easily Musk is illegally dismantling entire institutions with almost none of the blowback or explosive reaction that his actions warrant.

So may have ripped my hamstring from the bone and done my AC joint skateboarding as a 54 year old. Wondering what my next stupidity is gonna look like?

Don’t know how many bloody weeks I have done this for but I need to do my hard bits hard and the easy bits easy. Too much time in the middle power zones to get optimal adaptations. 12 mins for every hour of riding should be full gas. Just get that in my thick skull and get used to the very fact!

Some days you aren’t feeling it; you’re in pain, slept poorly, fatigued. Some days you have to listen to your body. Some days you just have to stick to your plan and get it done. If I’m a pro I’m just marching to the tune of my training plan. Do what they would do.

At a community engagement workshop on road management in my region this week, I came away thinking cyclists are at risk from failings in infrastructure. Two near misses this week make me think it’s more related to poor and aggressive driving.

Lutfur Rahman wants to spend £2.5 million removing cycle lanes in Bethnal Green but back in 2013 he was an advocate for cycle safety and called for "the carnage to stop". What changed? 🤔 #Saveoursaferstreets

I’m concerned, frustrated , angry in fact. Our quality of life deteriorates and we blame the minorities: the refugees, the drug addicted, international migrants. Anyone ever think it might just be the complete lack of tax paid by big corporate? Any chance we could maybe just tackle this?

Never forget, when you’re being asked to prove that safe bike-lanes or pedestrian crossings across unsafe conditions are ‘needed,’ it's hard to justify a bridge by the number of people swimming across a raging river.

An academic study found that on July 13, 2024 — the day Musk endorsed Trump — there was a systemic change across Twitter resulting in massive increases in reach for Musk and other accounts supporting Trump. This should be a scandal.
