I feel like setting up a website similar to the Milan-San Remo one… “Is the Femmes race broadcast live yet?” Give us the interesting stuff!! #Tdff

Great day out riding the Voie Vert from Saint Gervais les Bains to Geneva to watch the Femmes #Tdff Didn’t even try to take a photo of the actual sprint, so there’s a photo of the first gruppetto instead.

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

Orla Chennaoui's post to Facebook. SBS Sport should be demanding more of A.S.O. with respect to coverage of women's races. #CouchPeloton

Nothing like answering my new French phone for proving how much I don’t, in fact, speak French 😆 In person with context I’m ok but having to deal with phone calls to set up a gas and electric supply is well, difficult. So thankful for today’s caller, who actually spoke slower when I asked them to!

I’ve just watched a (French) neighbour try and conduct the call on my behalf. It appears that actually speaking French is not the issue. It’s just that neither of us speak Utility Company. 😅

Alison Jackson to St Michel Preference Home St Auber wasn’t on my bingo card this morning but I like it! Looking more closely they seem to be building quite nicely this autumn 🍁🇨🇦🍁🍂🌱🥬🌿🍃

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia. I disagree. RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

Ireland, Slovenia, Iceland, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal are now all considering boycotting Eurovision unless Israel are removed. Like if they should. RT if Israel should be kicked out

@nedboulting.bsky.social given that there’s only 1 minute gap between 3rd and 4th, and Lipowitz has already had a photo in the white jersey, they can’t do anything else but neutralise, surely? It would have a been a tall order, but given the potential for chaos on this unknown stage, maybe possible?

Woooooouuuuuutttt!! That was an awesome stage worth missing the afternoon sun for. But who the hell approved the start of the run-in barriers round the right angled corner with the sticky out bit on the racing line?! 🤯

Saw this at 0813 and got a team in! It’ll probably prefer better than any of the carefully considered ones 😅

New! We received a lot of requests to release our bonus with Marco te Brömmelstroet, aka “The Fietsprofessor," about a study he co-authored with @ianwalker.bsky.social on where motornomativity comes from... so here it is! Plus, better language for better streets. thewaroncars.org/2025/05/06/e...

This time last year - waking up to pouring rain to go and cycle Tour of Flanders. This time this year - waking up to much better weather on my admin day - me and ‘im are getting ourselves civilised this afternoon! 👰🏻🤵🏻🎉

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

Does anyone else have issues with videos playing here? For the last week or so I just get “an error occurred…” They used to work and I’ve not consciously changed anything?

After a bit of stress with suppliers it seems somehow fitting that the first time I have seen the fabrics for my wedding outfit is on Valentine’s Day. Not long to wait now to see them made up into actual items!!! 🥰
