Sometimes, I get close encounters during my bike commute. Although not always with vehicles! 🚲 🦅
Really loved the atmosphere of "la fête de la musique" in Paris this evening, near canal St Martin. Mandatory accessories: fans 🪭 and water pistols 🔫
Thank you Reading Bike Hub 🚲, for being there just when I needed a puncture repair! That was on my way back from the market, loaded with groceries. You rock 🥰

Great day today at the Woodley precinct, chatting with people about our policies for the Wokingham local elections #VoteGreen
We celebrated today our 14th anniversary of moving to the UK as a family! We did it in the most British way we could find: an afternoon tea 😋 🇬🇧 (Ok, and champagne too…)
I had an interesting evening yesterday, advocating for more 20mph zones at the Earley Town Council. I think it was useful. Thank you @20splenty.bsky.social for the very useful material!

Okay folks, I'll give you the ultimate cheat sheet to French food. Everywhere you go you'll be proposed something sounding like "des croubitchoux à la gableuse with a little glass of bounette". Every village has its own very local specialty. How to decipher that ? Very easy.
Daughter has been stuck for 10 minutes, trying to create a password that matches all these rules 😅
Reading, the town, needs to change it's name. To much confusion with reading a book
2 near misses in 2 days… This is the life I chose! #WarOnBikes
Last week Oxygen took potassium on a date and it was just OK. Then yesterday I saw Oxygen with a date with Magnesium and I was like OMg.
We had a great ride today in Earley at @kidicalmassreading.bsky.social and the bubble machine worked amazingly. Look at these happy people! 🫧 🚲
OK, we forgot to eat a few artichokes and now they turned into these huge flowers… Bees look happy with them, though!
Weird encounter on local streets. It's bed time for geese! 🪿🪿🪿
Hop on, ride off! 🚆🚲 As of today, bikes are welcome on-board of EU trains. All new and upgraded trains in the EU will have dedicated spots for full-sized bicycles. So, you can ride wherever the train takes you!
