My hot take: bike lanes, and mixed use cycle paths are not really for the convenience of Cyclists. They are for the convenience of car drivers. Basically, they are so those of us riding a bike don't slow a driver down. Why is a drivers convenience more important than a cyclists?

A screenshot of the odometer reading from my E-bike. Showing I've riden 1,103.7 miles since purchasing it in February. Not too shabby.

This is an incredible finding. If reproduced could bring big health benefits. Am wondering if big cycling nations have lower Alzheimers and dementia.

“Compared with non-active travelers, the cyclists had a 19% lower risk of all-cause dementia, a 22% lower risk of Alzheimer's, a 40% lower risk of young-onset dementia (before the age of 65), & a 17% lower risk of late-onset dementia.” Connecting bike-riding with reduced dementia risk. #UrbanTruth

Lovely day for a bike ride home from work.

Ever thought about biking as your secret weapon for commuting? 🚴‍♂️ Whether it’s an eBike or a classic ride, they turn last-mile chaos into smooth sailing. https://cleantechnica.com/2026/03/17/ebikes-bikes-for-everything-much-of-what-ive-learned-riding-bikes-for-75-years-part-i/

This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative.

Two weeks on from buying this beauty, and so bloody glad I did. Such a nice ride, with more than enough artist to get up the hills on my commute pretty easily. Putting my old Brooks saddle on it this weekend was a great idea. If you are thinking about getting an E-bike for commuting - just do it.

A story of two halves for the E-bike commute today. Bright and clear on the way in and I did it in less than an hour despite taking it easy. The ride home however was very wet and windy, and cold. I wore the wrong gloves and my hands got a bit numb by the end. Still a blast on the Roci though.

I love my new E-bike (pedal assist). It makes the hills on my daily commute a lot more manageable, plus it’s a pretty comfy and fun ride. Shaves about 10 minutes off the commute (1 hr) as well. I’m still getting a workout, but I’m not totally cream crackered when I get to work. #OneLessCar

As we have gone down to being a one car Family, I jist upgraded to a E-bike with a bigger motor. The hope is the extra omph will make the commute a bit quicker, and allow me to carry groceries etc to replace the car.

Really happy to have been a part of this work. Great work by Sam Leech and @tiffanybell0.bsky.social. We hope this will help people to standardise and improve using MRS to estimate metabolite concentration.
