Cycling. Children. Glasgow.
Well, that was impressive. On a blustery Saturday in April, 3000 cyclists come together in the capital for an impeccably organised stroll through to Parliament – #POP28. There was sunshine, cake, lots of children, a huge variety of bikes and a general carnival atmosphere to the whole thing. It didn’t feel like a protest, it […]
You poor sods down south. Look out of the window and find a hill (if you happen to live in south-east England, use your imagination). Found one? Great. Can you walk up it? I’m not thinking about your actual ability to haul that cornish pasty you had for lunch up the slopes, but more from […]

To add weight behind the shoal of minor websites shutting down tomorrow in protest at SOPA (wikipedia and reddit, to name two) Darkerside will also be going dark. Or at least, not updating. Given the ability of the American legal folk to create vague legislation and then hand out astronomical penalties for breaching the footnote […]
Finally found what I hope is the original source of this image – Lisbon Cycle Chic* I’m going to neatly use this image to illustrate a point made by ExcitableBoy on a recent CityCyclingEdinburgh thread, which I hadn’t really thought about before. Namely: Cyclists do not delay motor vehicles. Motor vehicles delay cyclists. Neat, eh? […]
Nothing more to load.
