I was really happy to see this Tweet from Surrey Police on Twitter. https://twitter.com/SurreyRoadCops/status/1012659090391273473 I went for a bike ride today and I was thinking about how the act of sitting on a bike and pedalling makes some people hate me.

Are websites becoming obsolete?
Are Facebook business pages and Twitter stories obliterating the need for businesses and individuals to have a website?

I thought I did… Continue reading Some cool things from the #cycling Twitter feed
