Twitter. The Twitterverse. The land of mountain bikers with no sense of community, dominated by talk of Brexit and the inevitable close-passing of cars when riding down the road. Often, Twitter is a place where people go to complain, talk football or protest about politics. In fact, there’s a fair few folk who have actually jumped onto Twitter to moan about people moaning on Twitter.… Read More »The Best Twitter Hashtag Ever?
I’m always on the look-out for a bit of a bargain – I think it’s something that’s bred into British folk, especially those of use from Yorkshire.

This year it’s the goat. I’d cottoned on to the idea this time round,… Read More »Return of the Goat.
I’ve not been totally off the bike but I’ve certainly be off for at least 4 weeks, with the exception of last week’s trip to the trails to break that pattern.

Since then, the rain has started to come, the leaves have begun dropping from the trees, and… Read More »10 Bike Films You Should Watch
