@caitlinmoran I think there are two types that of men; the ones who wanted to be James Bond when they were a boy and those who wanted to be The Doctor. (I’m excluding those who wanted to be a footballer as that’s outside my orbit)

@BritishCycling Congratulations to the riders. But us members are still on the British Cycling having shat the bed on the whole corporate whoring for oil money issue. #sportwashing #greenwashing

[Dr Awkward_Al @CyclePsych]

@BritishCycling You can proudly announce what you like, but your members aren’t about to move on from the whole oil money thing.

[Dr Awkward_Al @CyclePsych]

@rhymerrigby Including my professional qualifications are a valuable padding mechanism should you need future work psychology comment

[Dr Awkward_Al @CyclePsych]

@BritishCycling @AnnaKay_3 Never mind the cyclo-cross season, it’s still very much feeling unbelievably cross about your shilling for shell season.

When I joined British Cycling for a racing license, it wasn’t for motorsport. What a tin-eared decision. Are any BC members celebrating this? #britishcycling #notrenewing

Time to start researching a move to a Dublin-based data centre���

@Doctor_Hutch Got one on my mountain bike. Use it maybe once a ride. Why do I need half a kilo of extra weight on my road bike for descents I don’t need any help with?

[Dr Awkward_Al @CyclePsych]

@rhymerrigby Perhaps that’s where the Forest once grew.

@MacPsych First time is rough. Good luck!

[Dr Awkward_Al @CyclePsych]

@brownwindsor Probably best to knock.

.@Chris_Boardman says it was "unfortunate" that the latest DfT data showed a decrease in cycling because it was shown in isolation.

Car usage was down 23% and train use 47%; in fact, active travel was the most robust of all modes in that period. @activetraveleng @TransportCttee

@caitlinmoran Next year, he needs to get his tits signed.

I hope these new plates are made to Imperial measures.

I’m getting really sick of people using the hashtag
#GetBackToWorkYouFatPonce
It’s been trending for three days now, which is so insulting. So if you see a tweet containing
#GetBackToWorkYouFatPonce please don’t retweet it or reply to it using
#GetBackToWorkYouFatPonce
Thanks x

@badgercyclist Morally equivalent to catching a tailwind.

[Dr Awkward_Al @CyclePsych]
