Adam Rides Again

I velo'd, then moto’d, then ULM’d; now I velo again. I look great in lycra. Karate-ka, occasional runner. Dog adopter, parent, spouse.

@GosportFerry Hi, I’m planning to use the ferry on 20 May. Can I stay with my bicycle during the crossing, or do I have to leave it against a railing?

@maryjeanmason1 @WeAreCyclingUK True.
As you say, a car journey will do nothing for your health or fitness.
Unlike a bike ride.

@CyclingInASkirt I had a similar experience the other day, but because it was an electric wankpanzer they had to keep beeping their little horn.
Surprisingly they waited for a safe place to pass, and gave me loads of room 🤷

I was just thinking about this the other day, wondering whether vigilante number plate cleaning the rear plates of all those BMWs and Range Rovers would be technically illegal.

OMG! Start saving up, or decide which body organs, pet or least favourite small child to sell - new restored dH Mosquito to be based at Biggin Hill from 2026 - and available for passenger flights! #avgeek https://t.co/AdHKscjpnW

It’s a common feature of the primary school classroom. The behaviour chart on the wall, with children’s names on pegs. Children are moved from the sun to the clouds, or from green to red if their behaviour isn’t what is required by their teacher. 1/

@sexandtheswiss I did cycle yesterday (Monday), it was such a nice afternoon that I’d whooshed through a few wet-dips-in-shade before I remembered there’d been ice in the morning.

I lived happily ever after though.

The woman—me—was too stunned to speak.

@AdamBrown850 @RAF_Luton I am *not* going to order an extra large t shit.

[Julian Gough @juliangough]

Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.)
It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public.

@clark_aviation Reminds me of the pigeon-guided bomb idea from ww2 (https://t.co/LdCDsz9Slt)

@lorenzocabrini @nixcraft Do you prefer "Eight Megs And Constantly Swapping" or "Emacs Makes All Computers Slow"? 🙂

@MikeyCycling Got a tyre back on with no levers, just soapy water last night. Combined with getting the puncture just 1km from home, I could hear Alan Rickman / Hans Gruber saying "It's the time of miracles!"

@Ayrshott @RAF_Luton An airfield with long and distinguished heritage; good info about it on the ABCT page.

@roadpoliceBCH Disappointed when I clicked to see the picture - I like to try to guess which model of BMW it will be.
