What’s the extent of my piercing knowledge? Well, I had no idea that choosing something to go in the holes is integral to the whole process. No there’s no SIM free (holes only) option and the look of incredulity on the poor technician’s face as I articulated this idea…

Was recently told to essentially “Shut up and stick to bike advocacy” after a post supporting the trans community.

Posts about urban biking in Dutch cities are routinely replied to with comments like “well, they have the big advantage of being relatively flat.”
The Dutch also have the big advantage of not constantly making excuses about why they can’t make clearly smarter city-making decisions. #Leadership

Great to spend time today with firefighter watch at Poplar Fire Station.
Always an absolute honour to spend time with people who spend their lives keeping us safe.
Thank you. ✊🏼

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️⚧️
But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold.
So take care of yourself.
Your soul is beautiful.
