“While biking around Delft, I passed mothers with their children, women in skirts and heels heading to meetings, teenage girls riding together, female students going to university and grandmothers enjoying an afternoon ride. It wasn't just one or two women I saw, but hundreds." READ: bit.ly/4gwB8MC

“I don’t actually think it’s cool and good to be so unconcerned with human connection and so uninterested in cultivating the bare minimum of knowledge about myself and the world and the people around me that I can’t be bothered to write my own emails. Or my own wedding vows.”— @andreagrimes.com

Only just saw this. I was in the Cycling UK list in 2023 (nominated for being on the Bikes for Refugees Scotland board) and earlier this month requested to remove my online mention + cancel my membership, like others have done. Hope to be able to make it tomorrow!

Garbage in, garbage out. Nothing has changed since I wrote in my book about the dangers of acting like algorithms trained on biased datasets by biased owners are objective authorities.

Cycling should feel liberating, not intimidating - but too many women are missing out because they don't think it feels safe. Will you ask your MSPs to support Cycling UK's 'My ride. Our right' campaign to give more women the freedom to cycle? action.cyclinguk.org/page/172408/...

I once shared an elevator ride with a Hare Krishna follower and Jehovah's witness, and they started talking to each other about the magazine/books they were each trying to sell (not so much about me, but I felt I had entered a joke)
