Keen on the outdoors, respect, integrity, and not being patronised. The future belongs to my grandchildren.

Nearly 30,000 people were killed or seriously injured on Britain’s roads last year.

That should shape where police focus, not the latest outrage.

It’s time to push the facts to the front. By me in @spectator:

@dave43law The metrication board was abolished in 1981 as its work was completed. Some goods transitioned rapidly as they appeared cheaper: per litre vs per gallon for example

@johnlew40540571 @dave43law You'd have to be over 70 to have been taught in rods, poles and perches not to mention bushes and pecks. And to know how many pounds are in a hundred weight.

@WeAreCyclingUK @BikeabilityUK If only there were safe cycling routes to schools as in other European countries. Instead the nonsense about "war on motorists" is chanted by the hard of thinking

@LabourCycles Sorry can't be there but fully support

@CB_cycles There's a lot of hedge cutting going on at the moment. But I'd vouch for slime tubes: 3 thorns in one tyre didn't stop me

@crsanchezx Altberg from UK have 5 width fittings. Given that the best boots are those that fit best, this is the best option. Mine have been resoled twice.

@ThisisDurham If only there were plenty of safe, segregated cycle routes I'm sure more folk would do just that. Check out how many children can safely cycle to school and be ashamed.

@kershaw_alex Isn't it the case that the Germans had forewarning of the allies plans, courtesy of the Russians. Who wanted to slow the advance on Berlin to their advantage. Anthony Blunt supplying the Soviets.

[Durham PCC @DurhamPCC]

🚲 Cycle tracks are there for a reason.
Stopping or parking on a cycle track forces cyclists into traffic and increases the risk of collisions.

Help keep everyone safe on our roads.
Know the law. Drive safely.

@RicHolden Your opinion is not evidence. You must know that but you carry on regardless in the hope that you win favour with the hard of thinking

#Darlington grandad Keith Wilson has published a book about his mountain climbing exploits as part of his campaign to raise awareness of Parkinson's Disease. It was launched with a book-signing at the top of Roseberry Topping. Full story on my page in Saturday's @TheNorthernEcho

@LNER @basslady To be fair, LNER are better than most with bike bookings. But it's a VERY low bar

[OpenChiswick @OpenChiswickW4]

Right wingers really need to learn that they will never come out of an argument with a cyclist looking good.

Cyclists are their nemesis.

@SarahWoods66 Even as a member it's the same experience. How to get a freebie as a 'celeb' is what I wonder! I'd recommend Harrogate which is well organised and has plenty of spaces to just sit and soak it up. With live music too.

@lukeakehurst It's the standard right wing trope making it about poor parenting. Without such provision, there are many folk who would not be able to hold down a job.

@ArtistCyclist Please reveal what brand of waterproof. It's supposed to be summer soon but....
