@grahamwatson10 Are those mountains close to your home, Graham?

Here's what I wrote about the Tour de France for VELO today: https://t.co/UAwxw53mYR

@EuroHoody Just logged on to see this sad news. Barry was such a fun, whimsical guy with a tongue-in-the-cheek sense of humor. We had a lot of laughs working together on his autobiography "Watching The Wheels Go Round" in 1980-81. I hope Barry's passing was peaceful for him and wife Helen.

Why do so many children in the Netherlands cycle? 🌍🚴‍♂️

The BBC’s brilliant Newsround programme asked me to explore…

"Bohemian Trumpsody" from @marshsongs may just be the best thing I've seen all day.

Not only are the lyrics spot on, but man they can saaaaaaang!

[John Wilcockson @johnwilcockson]

@rwilliams1947 Yes, Richard, absolutely awful. Even hard to watch the Euros because of all those hideous shorts -- now we have a WHOLE season to endure them!

[John Wilcockson @johnwilcockson]

@amrook Totally correct, Anne-Marie. Vos and Kopecky were cooked--only Vas had something left in her legs, but nowhere near enough.

[John Wilcockson @johnwilcockson]

@rwilliams1947 Even worse here in the States, Richard, with NBC inserting 2-minute commercial breaks willy-nilly when big things were happening.

@EuroHoody What bike did you use, Andy?

[John Wilcockson @johnwilcockson]

@grahamwatson10 @timesport @BradleyOrmesher @MarcAspland Great selection of images, Graham!! Glad The Times gave you so much space. Santé!!

@nedboulting Wow! I can't believe this abuse of female cyclists in London. Sad times....

A new 5 yr Belgian study shows the BIG impact of increasing vehicle weight on road deaths & injuries. When a person on a bike or walking is hit by a pick-up, the risk of serious injury increases by 90% compared to a car. The risk of death goes up by 200%.

@malcolmelliott0 @cyclingweekly @andyjonesfoto1 Congrats, Malc! You have deserved that award for a long time!

[John Wilcockson @johnwilcockson]

@grahamwatson10 Great stuff. Graham! I remember most of those moments. Good luck with them!

[John Wilcockson @johnwilcockson]

@russelwongphoto @TamauPogi Very cool, Russel! You should listen to my autistic nephew, Rio "Soulshocka" Wyles, who 's recorded some great rap songs and performed this year with Stephen Stills at the Greek in LA.

[John Wilcockson @johnwilcockson]

@raykerckhoffs Very sad news. Willi was a true character in the TdF press room. We would always listen to "the Basler" when he expressed his opinions. RIP, Herr Erzberger.

What do real people say about a separated bikeway and the mobility options it gives them they didn't have before?
This is a great little video of all sorts of users who can now choose to ride a bike much more safely for their local trips
