Just turned the house upside down looking for interview footage I took 20 years ago of legendary boxers. Most have sadly now passed, but I am passing it on to the families and might stick some up on YouTube Ken Buchanan Alan Minter, Henry Cooper. I still miss my old club. Times ABC in Islington.

Quick 24hours in London doing what I like best, riding around in my suit in the sun whilst cracking deals, going for long meandering walks with experts and popping up to do optimistic speeches.

Just when you thought London couldn't feel any more glorious, up pops this fantastic bit of cycling infrastructure - TULIP WANDS 🌷🚴‍♂️🌷🚴‍♂️! They’re being installed on Sussex Gardens and are an absolute joy to behold and causing all sorts of delight, as we discovered…

Friday's thinly veiled analogy: I hate dogs when I am riding, and my daughter is terrified of them, but I don't want them banned because they promote activity and increase people's health and well-being. I accept that society is not about meeting my needs but addressing everyone's needs inclusively.

Being enabled to walk, ride a bike or use public transport to get to work or school is a human right and not a nice to have. I wish we could all start from a position of enshrining this first and foremost then factor in more convenient and damaging options.

If having no car puts you at a transport disadvantage then cycling is the cheapest fix to stop transport poverty. Bike infrastructure is a social justice solution. Seasons greetings one and all. I love this chart.

I am not sure that guardrail goes with implied roundabouts and crossings. I had to sprint out of the way of a bus whose driver was clearly not psychologically persuaded to slow down. Go all in if you are going to go,I reckon, or signal control it.

Implied roundabout and coloured crossing point in the same materials as the footway. Guardrail to shepherd people to the non respected crossing places.
