Riding across the alps with @carlafrancome.bsky.social and the wonderful team from Le Cure was incredible They started raising money for the Royal Marsden, who’d treated a friend for breast cancer. They raised so much, they now sponsor a research fellowship and have their own CA project. Amazing

My friends teenage son was saying how great the England squad are at taking penalties. His mum told him that really we aren’t. We normally lose penalty shoot outs. He was insistent that were great at them He was talking about the women’s team

My NYC-based sister-in-law is a big WNBA fan. And my nephew (age 8), goes with her to a lot of games. Yesterday, he was sharing a ton of info, facts, & thoughts on the NY Liberty with me, as if it were perfectly normal to be taking women's sports very seriously. Because to him it is. Beautiful.

Well this looks easy. Climb 15/15 of Mt Ventoux #TDFF

My friend accidentally combined the names of toolstation and screwfix to toolfix Better than the other way round. I think screwstation sells something else

@jaj991.bsky.social · 2mo ago

When did it become a thing to go into a toolstation/screwfix with a list of things you want and ask if they have them? e.g. I need an o-ring, it's not quite 32mm but it's close. Lots of other things on the list not exactly clear what's required.

Just arrived in Saint Romain en Viennois, ahead of Thursday’s Etape du Tour Femmes Really looking forward to catching up with Alex from Tip Top Bike Tours (also TT Ski), who spends her summers taking cyclists up Ventoux and winters touring Les Deux Alpes and La Grave Not a bad life ⛷️ ⛰️ 🚴‍♂️

Today I cycled up a mountain, circled a reservoir on balcony roads, before coming home to cut down two trees with my kids and a handsaw I appreciate this may not be everyone’s idea of a relaxing holiday 😜

Islington Cycle Club (ICC) is happy to welcome new members We’re friendly, so no tearing down required. All new memberships come with club jersey

The US needs to join the ICC, not seek to tear it down or to undermine it in any way.

I had a really great community on X. My final posts were directing people to cycling packs over here So happy to have so many of you over here instead😍 🚴‍♂️

The decision of so many people to keep using X in its race-war phase has made me a bit more cynical overall about the ability to draw moral red lines. It’s beyond disappointing.

To continue with last years theme… Today was supposed to be a little ride around Lac d’Allemond Accidentally climbed Croix de Fer. As you do

My wife thinks I have two mountain bikes. I have seven. I paid quite a lot extra to have custom paint jobs on all of them, so they all match.

Yes. Instantly. The first thing I did (Saddle too low)

It's bold of the mayor to give us a side shot of him on a bike so all the internet bike fitters can critique his saddle height
