Originally from Norwich, now in Brum. Railway signal engineer.
🎵It was 40 years ago today…🎵
that I started at @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social
I didn’t make it down to South Ken today but did pass by my old intercollegiate hall of residence (Commonwealth Hall), well, where it used to be. Always grateful for the opportunities that that education gave me.

Spotted this sculpture - accept that it’s outside a motor parts manufacturer, but it seemed to sum up people’s perception of car ownership. #motornormality

Maybe it’s growing up on an island, but crossing land borders is still a special moment. Yesterday Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Austria & Germany in a day on the @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social. All thanks to the Shenanigans [sic] Area. I didn’t notice one crossing as no signs! #VélosSansFrontières

Brum to Zürich by train in a (long) day, but can be done. Left plenty of time for the changes just in case. @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social in tow as well. Even managed to bag Seat61 on the Eurostar @seatsixtyone.bsky.social

I haven’t owned a car for 13 years, so I was curious what my travelmode miles during 2024 were
🚲 3,179
🚶‍♂️ 1,079
🚄 5,912
🚗/🚕 169
⛴️ 125
Total - 10,464
The irony being that 100 of the 🚗 miles were to collect an eBay cycle.
Of the 🚲 miles, 1,198 were commuting and 769 in 🇫🇷 🇧🇪 & 🇳🇱

#TreeByBike - That time of year again. The crosswinds weren’t much fun, but some decent power numbers.

Swapped 2 wheels for 3 for this morning’s commute to be on the safe side in the snow/slush.
