    Don’t be an idler competiton

    As many of my readers know a pet hate of mine is when motorists sit in their cars with their engines running poisoning us all with their fumes.

  • Not a kitten any more, cycling lessons, and in the paper

    Not a kitten any more, cycling lessons, and in the paper

    Victoria sleeps in our bed most nights now and I mean literally in our bed. She buries herself under the covers head and all. I don’t know how she can stand it. It must get terribly hot. I think she probably alternates and spends some of the time on the bed and some of the […]

    We had a fantastic day today. I’m on holiday and this morning I handed over one of the copies of Designing for Cycle Traffic to the Aberdeenshire Council. Two copies were crowd-funded by the Aberdeen Cycle Forum – one for Aberdeenshire Council and the other for Aberdeen City Council. The Evening Express asked for an […]
