These bottles were in the lounge window of a normal house in a quiet residential area.
I thought it a nice way to decorate an otherwise boring window.

Third day in a row of 40mph winds, so no cycling for me today 😭
If there were safe, separated bike lanes in my area, I'd ride; but the risk of being blown under a vehicle on these awful car-infested roads is too great. Meh.

This comment was posted on a news article about car parking fees going up in my local town and people not wanting to use the car parks anymore.
This person is SO close to getting it...

It was raining just before I left work, so I put on my waterproofs and the weather gods saw me and it immediately stopped raining 😂

My bike is off being serviced, so it'll be a day of walking everywhere. A lot slower, but it'll give me time to listen to some podcasts on the way.

I got some bone-conduction headphones for Christmas, and they're proving to be so useful for walking, allowing me to listen but still hear the motorists screeching around 🤔

@ssamulczyk I'd like to do more of my own servicing, and I'm looking for a local course.
I really like walking, but it's a bit slow for everyday life, most of the time 😁
Good luck with your brake pads!

Advice needed
There is a consultation in my town, about proposed new cycling and walking routes.
This has happened before, and the schemes never went ahead, because motorists vastly outnumber cyclists, so there were more negative responses than positive ones.

Does anyone have any advice / experience on taking part in these consultations and some reasonable arguments I could put forward?
Thank you, friends 😊

I did the first cycle commute of the year tonight. It's so great being back on the bike.
I went along the river and this old disused crane has been transformed by LEDs. It made for a pretty ride 😀

Saw a headline on the Toronto Star site this morning: "What are Canadians willing to sacrifice in the fight against climate change?" It seems to me the answer in many, perhaps most cases is absolutely nothing. And right wing parties are in the ascendancy across the country as they go out of the way to validate voter selfishness.

AnnaUK,
@AnnaUK@toot.bike avatar

@Jgmeadows This certainly applies in the UK too.

People say they want to fight climate change, but only if it doesn't inconvenience them in the slightest and they don't actually have to make any changes themselves.

Utterly depressing.

I saw this really cool #bike outside the gym. It looks a bit like a Moulton, but was only attached with a thin cable lock. Which kinda makes me hope it isn't a real one(!)

Tonight, Father Christmas and the Grinch did a festive ride around our town, to the Christmas Markets.
Lots of people laughed at our costumes, so hopefully it brought some fun to a dull, freezing night 😁

Rochester Bridge in the foreground with Rochester Castle in the background. A Ferris wheel is visible in the castle gardens.
Two bikes, decorated with fairy lights and wheel lights, resting on a stone balustrade, in front of Rochester Bridge in the distance.

I finished editing and uploading the video. It's now processing. It's going to release on Sunday morning at 6:50am CST.

Here's a link to my channel in case you want to catch this super long (45 minutes) video of me droning on about bikepacking gear. Making the video made me happy.

I feel like I need to figure out my next trip, because I have little motivation to train right now. I think I'm about a month into the post-trip/post-training downers.

I did my first ride home from the gym in the dark tonight. The fairy lights made a group of runners laugh and I noticed pedestrians pointing.
It's so silly, but I really like that it makes people smile. Hopefully it spreads a bit of positivity 😁

@ssamulczyk Sadly they're not USB rechargeable. The wheel lights have AA battery packs which attach to the hub with rubber straps. The fairy lights on the frame have an AA battery pack with a button to change the flash pattern, which I've put in the frame pack.

Yes! It makes winter biking more fun!
Today, some builders shouted from their van and told me that they liked my lights 😂

When I did my Friday-night commute it was warm and sunny.
Today, the British winter has definitely arrived.
Time to dig out the gloves, thermal trousers and Merino wool base-layers 🙄 ❄️ 🥶

@james I've spent time this afternoon sorting out my cold weather gear, and now I'm ready to ride all winter 😁

I usually wear two pairs of gloves, but now you're all making me think I need to invest in something much better 😂

My bar tape was coming off, so I decided to go for orange and black, like the bike.
It has an autumn vibe, which I quite like and will match my pumpkin outfit for our Halloween ride 🎃 😂

@ssamulczyk Thank you! If it gets too dirty, I'll have to replace it with Christmas bar tape... 🙄

@ssamulczyk Haha, I had to watch a video too! 😂
