Bikes for fun and work too. Small human and larger dog keep me busy. Working on my photography skills.

@francesca_kms @HackneyLivingSt @hackney_cycling @CanalRiverTrust @LondonCycle3 @London_Cycles @WeAreCyclingUK I read this as "so full of lifeboats" and wondered what I didn't know about #Hackney!

@Mad_1nventor Possibly because they don't want to spend an additional 50% to get the equivalent spec bike?

"there's something about bicycles, because they are free at the point of use, they almost feel like beating the system"

Fancy bikes for sport are cool and all, but a simple, cheap bike which just works for getting around is a magical thing!

"A bicycle was the first thing that truly liberated me as a piece of transport"

🛵 What is @MrJamesMay's favourite vehicle? 🚚

Thanks for the great question, Daniyah and Inayah 👏

Too many amazing memories to choose just 1 pic for #WorldBicycleDay2023

Both amazingly simple and staggeringly complex; bikes have been a hobby, sport, career & a way to connect with my son. Here's hoping we make them easy active travel options too

The warm-up is the most important part of any training session.

It sets the scene for what fuel the body will burn for the rest of the workout. ⛽️

Fat-burner or sugar-burner, it's your choice. 🔥

@mattdowler Love that colour way

Chris has been moaning about not being prepared whilst quietly sneaking in 6 hour rides. It's me who should be moaning!

[Chris Boardman CBE @Chris_Boardman]

Bit if a change of pace from talking active travel….but still bikes! Big weekend ahead and the weathers looking…..oh

Want an adrenaline rush? Try cutting water pipes behind the isolation valve whilst only 90% confident you can reconnect them.

The relief when there were no leaks was spectacular.

Happy first ride in shorts day 2023!

@thecyclephysio Midlands "gravel" over winter is pretty crap riding with all the mud, so great excuse to put 32mm slicks on and use a gravel bike on the road over winter.

Then fun gravel bike for summer playtime

@davearthur @tweetymike Getting a hanger stiff enough to work with wide range 12 speed rear mechs and still serve it's sacrificial function is not easy! Let's just hope the U in UDH really does become universal.
