Just in case anyone's wondering what I've been up to lately, here's a bit about e-bikes. And cancer. ebiketips.road.cc/content/advice…

Twitter's still a shithole filled with nice, sane bike riders wasting their time arguing with petrolhead wankstains I see. Imagine if y'all used Twitter to coordinate campaigning and get people to join their local cycling campaign groups instead eh.
