Ned Boulting@nedboulting.bsky.social · yesterdayTwo races today - Vuelta was very good. The Tour of Britain was, in my opinion, even better. Both discussed in tonight’s For The Love of Cycling on its way.

Right. Tour of Britain Men next. Who's coming to the race?
Bad day to take a break from podding. Emergency solo reaction pod from me just recorded and on its way. David joins me tomorrow evening for a fulsome reflection.
For any German speaking folks - my dear friend Eckart Breitschuh has written this song about the death of his sister, and his ambivalent feelings. It's called Mittwoch im August, because she dies one Wednesday in August. It's very honest and very beautiful. open.spotify.com/track/3ElJOf...

Missed TV pictures from the Vuelta today? Don’t worry - David Millar was on the climb with a camera and filmed it all! Watch out for tonight’s For The Love of Cycling on YouTube and Spotify!
I have just passed on your thanks, Bea, to all of the production team, who adore this event and work long hours...it's the same folks (mostly) I've been working with at these races for 15 years and more.
Bea Wright@beawright.bsky.social · 2w agoSo enjoying the highlights Ned. Thank you to you and the team who are putting it all together, really high quality highlights, and love the chats with riders alongside the action.
A lot of interesting stuff in this episode, especially given the toxicity of the culture war around cycling that has been stoked (for whatever reason) by our nation's most depressing media voices...
Laura Laker@lauralaker.bsky.social · 2w agoLatest @podstreetsahead.bsky.social episode is live, with @nedboulting.bsky.social 'She called for cyclists to be banned.... then she gave up her car...' pca.st/episode/e927...
Remember this? We do it all over again tomorrow. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xZ3...

While we wait for stage 2 of the women's ToB to start, I am reminded of how I dropped in on the race last June, and followed the PPO signs, which also spell "Odd" when read upside down. nedboulting.substack.com/p/the-bearab...

Never. Never. Never buy books from Amazon. I mean, try not to buy anything from there, but never ever books. They are destroyers of the thing I hold dearest. futurism.com/artificial-i...
Amazon Caught Destroying Rare Books to Train AI
An investigation by 404 Media found that Amazon bought a shipment of rare books so it could scan and destroy them to train AI.

Got AI to do this as neither Pete, Lizzie nor I could be arsed. Hope you’re ok with that. The evil bastard robots did a decent job to be fair.

Had dinner last night with old friends. At one point, G. asked me, in all seriousness, 'Do you use AI in your writing?' I created a tense social situation in response.
I've been so surprised by the reaction to this piece I wrote this morning. I'm overwhelmed by comments beneath this post, and under the actual article on Substack. They suggest that I knew what I was saying. But I really didn't.

Dad got me this for my birthday. It’s a fascinating read, which scratches my 1923 itch, apart from anything else. Kandinsky, Chagall, Bauhaus - all very 1923.
Been quiet on Substack lately because I've been knackered. But that all changes. It's time for the Tours of Britain, guys! nedboulting.substack.com/p/cockermout...
Nearly done. I’ve been on the road for over 5 weeks. Today, Lizzie and I will close the chapter on the Tour de France for 2026. If you’ve been following For The Love of Cycling, thank you!
This is the best review. Thank you Katy.
Katy@ithilienorthend.bsky.social · last mo.@nedboulting.bsky.social I’ve never really been into cycling, but I came across your podcast at the start of the Tour de France and I’ve been hooked, listening to it religiously every night. I don’t know what to do with myself tonight with no new episode to enjoy! Thank you.
