This sums up my experience of China. Young man on the hotel reception desk read this, took me out of the hotel to a corner shop, bought me a screwdriver, and said ‘ this is my gift to you’.

Could do with some tech help from anyone who knows about iPads. Does anyone know how I can disable this tiny floating keyboard and force the iPad to use the full-sized one? Google says I can pinch it to the large one - that’s incorrect unfortunately. It would make a big difference to me whilst away.

Had the best day cycling in and exploring Taiyuan, China, with a brilliant bunch of people from an environmental organisation. A few photos. The posters are advertising an event for the launch of the Chinese translation of my book, The Cycling Cartoonist, on Wednesday.

(1/3) Hello all. A little update, as I know some of you are following my progress in China / cheering me on. The photo above was taken at last night’s rehearsal for the TEDx talk. However: sadly the actual TEDx event today had to be cancelled, for reasons that I’m not going to elaborate on here.

Been cycling today. This is the Greenway, a kind of cycling M25 that circumnavigates Chengdu, China. Opinion: this is what cycling infrastructure should look like.

Possibly incoherent rantings, but anyway: paragraph break for my newsletter that turned into a diagram: The new even- thinner mobile phone.
![Black and white cartoon, title ‘The new even-thinner mobile phone’. Picture of a very thin phone, side on. Labels say ‘so thin’; ‘wow’; ‘etc’. Underneath, the following text: ‘[Oh be quiet. My phone being too thick isn’t in my top 100000 problems, and if I wanted a thinner phone I’d… I don’t know… make one out of a sheet of paper]’](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yxmwxaytl64kjolzi64nad4n/bafkreib3vzqx4kzvi7s4lrvdsr24zgyz6zjnczteszvyw7w7prab2yiene@jpeg)

Possible causes of your problems. It’s a diagram that (sadly) still seems relevant in 2025, so reposting a year and a bit on.
