Inspired by the great work that @maxrushden, @bglendenning and the @guardian_sport Football Weekly pod have done on sportswashing over the years, I've written a long read on the situation in cycling, where 4/18 WT teams are sponsored by regimes with poor human rights records

Poll: I'm writing a feature for @cyclingweekly on whether it's better to track your cycling training in duration or distance, but am after the general consensus of #cycling Twitter. So, go on, what's your preferred method?

@sedwards380 @otter_ai Did you ever get this resolved? I'm having the same issue. Any advice @otter_ai?

@Microlambert The blue line is a lot quieter. During the first lockdown, I used the following when trying to find a traffic-free route for a nervous cyclist. It was fairly good until just next to Finsbury Park

[Charlie Allenby @CharlieAllenby]

@Microlambert You should come and explore some time! That and the Pymmes Brook Trail are fairly good no/low traffic routes

I took on my first Olympic-distance triathlon last month at @votwoevents Eton Dorney Tri and got to put some gear through its paces for @T3dotcom. Here are my picks for tri essentials and a couple I would leave at home next time out 🏊🏻🏃‍♀️🚴🏿https://t.co/u2W5M9ZnFB

Great to chat to @altini_marco for this guide to HRV for @runnersworlduk. From my short time of using his HRV4Training app, I've quickly come to the conclusion that beer = bad 🍻❌ https://t.co/UgmsIZJpXi

Cycling is green, an active form of travel, removes congestion from the road and is a statistically less dangerous form of transport for other road users. Want another plus point? It can save you money too:
