@SussexCRP @ACoRPOffice @sdnpa @SouthernRailUK @Ravilious We've published two illustrated maps & guides to East Sussex, covering Brighton to Eastbourne & Hastings. They show railway lines & stations, lanes recommended for cycling and art & cultural attractions https://t.co/RappQBxvON Also a print of both combined. Of interest?

@MichaelRosenYes Andrew Carnegie covered most of the costs of building the Ewart Library, Dumfries, Scotland.
An example of the 2,500 Carnegie Libraries built globally to promote education. An estimated 800 survive as libraries.

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve_news. We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

@CyclingInASkirt I'm so sorry to hear this, Michael. Here in Eastbourne we're trying to come to terms with the recent passing of Felicity, one of the founders of our local cycle group. She did so much to promote safe cycling for all. https://t.co/q34U4940Gj

@MrJamesMay That's a fine logo. How about a TV series on bicycles? Bottom Gear?

I wrote something about my friend, Felicity. Whose spirit left us last week

In 1935, a peculiar Austrian forester made a claim that seemed impossible:

He could make water flow uphill without any external power source.

Scientists called him a fraud.

The Nazi regime tried to weaponize his discoveries.

Today, modern physics is proving he was right about almost everything.

This is the story of Viktor Schauberger, the "Water Wizard" who saw what everyone else missed:

Past societies produced so much beauty because they knew that math and beauty are deeply connected.

It all started when Pythagoras discovered something mind-blowing about reality:

@SeasideFerry Sadly I think so. Try Favoloso on Carlisle Road?

@seatsixtyone Can the developers who are so keen to build above Liverpool St station be persuaded to switch to the Euston area? @thevicsoc

@FietserGlasgow @laura_laker That's a shame. My first set of Ortlieb classic panniers survived about 20 years of daily use. Second set are going well - with improved brackets that can be adjusted without tools

@sianberry Meanwhile £3.7bn allocated to an unproven idea: carbon capture and storage!

[Riffle & Pool Press @pool_press]

@Bricycles Meanwhile, £3.9bn has been allocated for carbon capture & storage, which many experts say won't make any difference

Very excited to announce the launch of

@elizabethalker Nice! A Renault 4 in pond green. Shared with a friend who lived across town. If I wanted to use it I'd cycle over to his place. Small, but potent - that car fitted the bike when the back seats were folded down
