I’ve thought for ages that @BikeabilityUK should be on the School syllabus - but I’ve just come back from my first @MakatonCharity training session and if anything should be, this should.

Funny Things Kids Say #325

[having a bit of banter late in the lesson - with an 11yo]

“Sarcasm doesn’t suit you - it’s not your colour”. 🤦🏼‍♂️

@KatyCycles That bloody road has spoiled a perfectly lovely town.

[Bikeability Bob 🚴🏼 @BikeabilityBob]

@KatyCycles Minimum of 25 years experience and Level 3 to ride round here!!

[Bikeability Bob 🚴🏼 @BikeabilityBob]

@KatyCycles Whenever I drive down that road, I always stick to 19-20mph, with drivers behind getting furious. The problem is, it’s so wide, I does feel slow…. And that’s the problem - narrow the lanes, and it’ll feel perfectly normal.

[Bikeability Bob 🚴🏼 @BikeabilityBob]

@KatyCycles None of these so-called cycle lanes have been designed by a cyclist - I think I can confidently state that.

[Bikeability Bob 🚴🏼 @BikeabilityBob]

@KatyCycles It’s an ABSOLUTE s**tshow isn’t it?!!!!

Amsterdam in the 70’s
Lest We Forget

[Bikeability Bob 🚴🏼 @BikeabilityBob]

I’m going home tomorrow from a week in Belgium and the Netherlands with my family (And Doggies).
Is always nice to return - a week away is enough for me. BUT
Boy, will I miss seeing the roads full of cyclists.

[Bikeability Bob 🚴🏼 @BikeabilityBob]

Just
BUILD
IT
AND
THEY
WILL
COME.

[Bikeability Bob 🚴🏼 @BikeabilityBob]

The cycle paths are amazing and run along side every road. It’s not quite the same in Belgium, but it still shows up the UK.

[Bikeability Bob 🚴🏼 @BikeabilityBob]

I have found it amusing how I’ve needed to be looking all around like an owl at every junction - partly due to the unfamiliarity of driving on the opposite side of the road - but mostly as cyclists are EVERYWHERE and I’m very happy to give them priority at all times.

[Bikeability Bob 🚴🏼 @BikeabilityBob]

And I’ve not cycled once (despite wanting too deeply).
We’ve driven around - even into the centre of Amsterdam and Bruges and the roads have been terrific.

[Bikeability Bob 🚴🏼 @BikeabilityBob]

It absolutely fills my heart.

Loads of cargo bikes

[Bikeability Bob 🚴🏼 @BikeabilityBob]

All ages.
Mostly functional, old, sit-up-and-beg step through frames.
No helmets.
No Lycra (other than the few ‘proper’ riders.

@Garmin Triathlon integration could be a lot better though - Daily Suggestion workouts just don’t recognise a triathlon event coming up, so will continue suggestions based on events that can be months later.
