@wakeuptomone what we need are tax breaks for renewable energy investments and drive energy prices down.

Info @Gazzetta_it - sources told us that it’s not decided yet when @Eganbernal will be back in competition. So far @ParisNice (5-12 march) for him is still a question mark @elcyclingpod @cycling_podcast @INEOSGrenadiers

It’s burning in my chest. I have to get it out. I adore my financial planner. I wished that I’d contracted him years ago. If you are in any doubt, meet with a FCA regulated financial planner and answer the two burning questions in life #financialplanning @RedCircleFP

You get to level 57 and @GoZwift and what do you get? Digital socks!! Apparently not many get to these levels. Really?! There must be a churn and burn of users. There needs to be more levels and with virtual bikes and not socks #cycling @vCyclingNews #indoorcycling #zwift

I read a tweet the other day that said: "Charging millions of electric cars will cripple the grid. Good luck with that." Of course it's not about luck, it's about planning and grid management which we already do. youtube.com/watch?v=HMIHAJfh…

Really proud of that one! Also big shout out to the team across the board, from helping me rehab an injury to also helping me get the most out of myself 😊
Get in there @SophieECapewell!!! She beats the World Champ Mathilde Gros to bronze in the women's sprint - what a result after her fall earlier this evening 🥳 🫶 #EuroTrack2023

There is some excitement about the Zwift Glasgow course. For those not wanting to jump on a train and do it for real, @wahooRGT will have had the course from day 1. #cycling Multi platform is the way.

Predictions of a big haircut in the private tech markets ahead. Looking at the Zwift users - it’s not good for fitness tech as a whole. I’m personally sticking at Zwift. I still struggle with the gamification and what it does for mental health #cycling #fitnesstech #investing

Helping mortgage customers!! @HeatherWheeler Investments and personal pensions weren’t supported when Liz Truss destroyed their values!! People knew the risk that they were taking when they took on debt, surely?!
