Bike with a vengeance

23/12/2025

No need for bad blood between people who walk and those who cycle.
I'm both. With a vengeance.
We should support each other and be conscious of each other's needs and safe spaces.
1500 miles of walks in 2025, yass.

Still waiting for secure bike storage in Anderston. 'Lack of space' is not a good excuse for having zero as other parts of Glasgow get more and more of it (good for them by the way!)

I so often hear about lack of space and price of land in cities.Local authorities claim they can't build enough affordable homes because of how expensive lan...

I love my milestones celebrations so here's another one.
1000 miles covered on an exercise bike in 2025. I've not moved an inch but got plenty structured, steady zone 2 workouts that I couldn't really do outside.
Also - never drove to the gym and hopefully never will.

'It's all fine with your little cycling hobby until you have to do a school run in winter or pick stuff up from the hardware store'
Oh shut up, the only complication here was a quick change of trailers in between 😅💪🏻

Bike with a Vengeance, dispelling myths about Urban Mobility since way before YouTube, Facebook or Instagram even existed.

Cycling in Poland in December takes a bit more clothes and determination, but it had to be done on my short visit.

In the world of commodified travel, oversized cars and rampant consumerism - having a 'bike away from home' waiting for you is a rare treat.
This is the park in my home town, I used to skip high school classes to cycle there (and somehow I ended up with best A-levels results in town that year😅)

WTF moment of the day, 5th Dec 2025.

Calmed traffic local streets can be a great alternative to segregated cycling infrastructure... granted no one drives like this driver here, trying to run us over 🤬
Honestly, do something for the children and ban cars around schools at drop off and pickup times. They do much more harm than just put people in danger.

Another milestone completed this year.
1500 miles of 'normal' cycling (not electric, not indoors - I count these separately).
Errands, trips out of town, quick breaks to catch the sunset - you name it.
It's not much but it's honest work 😎

Absolute most of my e-assisted rides are a straight replacement for what would otherwise be urban driving (or a missed opportunity to do something interesting with my child). New achievement unlocked today, my passenger enthusiastically approves!
1500 miles in 2025 and we keep going 💪

The final result of a few consecutive wrong turns on yesterday's trip to Inverclyde.
Taken somewhere by Loch-where-the-hell-am-I that was supposed to be Greenock Cut area but definitely was not 😅
Getting a bit lost has its charm too and the low winter sun looked great.

Some photos from my recent one-day bike adventure (Glasgow - Lochwinnoch - Ayr with some unexpected stops and a well deserved food at Vegan Earth). I think photography is a bit like cycling to me - I never fully switch off, it's always there, sometimes front stage and sometimes just in a tiny support role but always there.

A very picturesque end to a great day away from it all.
My 'Sunday Bike' with a sunset backdrop of Irvine Beach and Arran.

I made a wee humorous video about a roundabout (no, no flag painting - just tons of bad driving) but so far FB is refusing to let me upload it.
Have a peek at my Instagram in that case and give it a follow if you feel like it.
