Quiet roads, stunning sunshine, short sleeves, and gravel tracks. I never knew analogue Zwift could be so much fun.

In 2015, a cyclist struck a car and swung at a driver with a D-lock and was sentenced to 150 hours of community service and fined £800. This driver who intentionally used his car as an offensive weapon against a cyclist received no community service and a £300 fine. Mad world.

@davidallengreen Kafka would probably have had Brexit placed as the end of a very long tunnel that gets narrower and narrower, with the protagonist becoming more and more anxious. Reaching the end, he's killed by a guard, realising at the last minute that he need only have turned the other way.

@ellebrigitte I’ve always been fascinated by the fluidity of the Simpsons’ social class. One episode they'd have serious money concerns/ children taken by social services. In another they'd seem socially aspirational middle class, eg joining the country club. Clever way of broadening appeal.

Bizarre that in Farage’s anti-cycling Telegraph tirade he claims a looming recession means we can’t afford ‘green’ cycling projects. The 2008 Recession led to unprecedented increases in cycling. In tough times, it’s the luxury of driving that normal people can’t afford.

I wonder how many Brits could have been spared horrific terminal illness if the UK took active travel seriously. If cycling/ walking was the norm for journeys under 1 mile, just imagine how much fitter our population would be. Imagine how much healthier our air would be.

Last night this car was used as a weapon, hospitalising four people and inflicting destructive damage to a building. The fact that people talk about cyclists needing the same regulation and licensing as cars is mad. A car can be a destructive weapon. A bike is just a bike.

Sir Wiggo on missing out on the Olympic rowing squad: 'You won’t see a rower with a sleeve tattoo. You’ve got to have been to the right schools. I don’t have a silver spoon up my arse.' Utter. crap. A 2k test doesn't ask what school you went to.

Box Hill doesn't need to be closed to cyclists. The policy of closing public spaces because they're being over-used just shifts the demand elsewhere. It's also disappointing that this has followed deceptive telephoto photography in the media.

@BenjySarlin Hearing from friends in Italy and Spain, it was much the same until in a 24-hour window hundreds were dying and public services were immediately overwhelmed. Ideology will crash with reality pretty soon, and I expect those most relaxed now will be the most panicked when it does.

This driver has been proven unable to use the road safely, yet on a bike I still have to share the same space with zero protection. We wouldn’t let medical staff who have repeatedly proven dangerously negligent continue to work with vulnerable patients. Why is this different?

Slipped off my bike on the ride to work today, in one of those rare fusions of extremely slow speed, surprisingly high pain and abundant embarrassment. Immediately afterwards a very nice lady passing by wandered over and offered to give me a hug. That made my day.

I’m conflicted about wearing headphones while cycling. For a decade I haven’t worn headphones because of safety concerns. But listened to a podcast this morning on a Santander bike and felt I could hear enough. Is there a safety issue, or is that all just victim blaming drivel?

Nothing makes me angrier than right-wing politicians promoting license plates for cyclists. If you're a small-state, anti-bureaucracy politician advocating specific government sanction to simply ride a bicycle, then you have no principles at all.

Italian cyclists gear up for a row over number plates

Cyclists in Italy will be forced to pay for insurance and fit number plates and indicators under controversial plans to boost road safety.
