You'll find me on 2 wheels in the hills - Bath or El Campello.....Or 2 planks in the mountains when it's snowing.

No access to #LaVuelta Stage 7 finish. Balcon D'Alicante closed to cyclists early this morning
Just obtained these @classicretro what do you reckon 1940s-1950s? Bet you've got some old @LeTour pics with them being used 😜... super lightweight-similar to a double bottle set up now!!

🍾🥂Thanks for running the league & prizes:stunning cycling prints! It certainly added to stage fun & tension-after a good start with my faith in Hirschi rewarded early-my focus on the mountains piled on the points-37th place in the overall World wide competition not bad either.
And we’re done! Thanks to everyone who got involved in our first Fantasy #TDF2020 league. It was super tight in the end with Philthy TDF just nicking it. Phil, I’ll DM you!

Think I must have time travelled back 6 months to a Monday morning rush hour-never seen so many cars on a Sunday lunch time ride, constant streams everywhere! Or have the guidelines changed to: get in your car and go & drive around and around like knobs #CarOwnerVirus

Councils removing cars & parking will kill the local high street businesses-nobody will visit (said the motorists!)...ummm, no it won't!!
Before and after stuff like this is so powerful, and hopefully useful for business’ worried by the removing of parking. No cycle lanes needed here, just space you want to spend time in 👏👏👏

1)Gov't ease lockdown-you can drive to beauty spots for OUTDOOR SOCIAL DISTANT exercise-now locals/MPs/Gov't say don't visit as worried about virus spread 2)Gov't say schools must reopen-pupils/teachers will have INDOOR NON SOCIAL DISTANT environment-But that's not a problem!!??

👍Yes! More cars on the road again & witnessed lots of mobile phone use...maybe that's ok now because roads are quieter and you don't have to pay attention!? Have to say courtesy on the roads has generally been much improved during Covid period-please help it carry on🤞
Finding new ways to work in the face of ongoing complaints, our Road Safety Unit have taken to cycles with camera units. Offences will be uploaded to our web site for action. Do you want it to be a permanent way of working?
