Cyclist. Bellringer. Author. Mainly mobile phone photos. Mostly of the past week. Organised church bellringing for Le Tour de France in Yorkshire.
As a pedestrian in the UK, waiting to cross the road at a Pelican crossing, I always let buses and cycles pass before I press the button asking to stop the traffic. No such courtesy for cars or other vehicles. It's my little contribution towards encouraging sustainable travel.
Works out how to create and export GPS files, from where and into where, to create usable maps of each stage of next years TdF and TdFF.
I don't think we can understate how huge this is for Enric Mas, Movistar and Spain. 9 years ago, he was slated to be Spain's next Grand Tour rider. The scenario presented itself and now he's the first Spaniard to win the Vuelta since Contador. Vamos, Enric 👏
You may have seen this one. I have another one from somewhere in Slovakia somewhere.

Stanley Tucci in Italy shares delicious food and scenery. Now he's filming in the UK. Imagine when he finds out about pork pies and about the seasons for blackberries and bilberries. Can you have a word @imcmillan.bsky.social Tucci on Barnsley Market would be well words fail me.

Nuclear power needs water. Wind power & Solar does not.
"Why is my High Street dying?" This is at the side of a petrol station. I've nothing against online shopping and selling, and these lockers are great, taking away the need to wait in for deliveries. But it's not parking charges and business rates that are killing the High Street it's us and tech.

Pleasing. I've just found an old film cannister that I've been saving, just in case, since 1994. It's an ideal small pot to carry Swarfega on my bike.

Well I agree with Joe Hart. We should applaud the players for giving it their all. Let's not descend into the usual witch hunt blame game. We played the reigning champs, with the world no1 player / GOAT, and we took it to them for most of it.
