🌧️👃 Notice the smell when it rains? There's a name for that...

John Carpenter's masterpiece, The Thing was released on this day 40 years ago.

I must admit I find the idea of this quite appealing but have no clue why.

This time next week I'll be working out how to pack a Brompton for #5GoMadOnEurostar to #Brussels and #Paris to look at the new infrastructure. What should we see, and who should we meet? We'd love to meet campaigners and hear their views on what has really created the changes..

Stand by, London, Brussels and Paris, we're on our way on Friday #5GoMadOnEurostar cityexile.wordpress.com/2022/09/14/ano…

And so begins an exciting but slightly clueless trip to the continent with Gary Cummins’s lovely borrowed Brompton. Expect a series of cycle infra & campaigning tweets over the next six days as I attempt to fold my way around Brussels & Paris #5gomadoneurostar

Enjoyed a nosey around Camden this avo. Check out this lovely urban park on Alfred Place. I have not seen the space before its transformation, but apparently it was a one-way through route for traffic with parking. Think it looks amazing! 😍 #5gomadoneurostar

As a newbie to the Brompton, I have many thoughts swirling around about this bike after a day featuring three cities, two train journeys, one epic queue & multiple tragic attempts to fold & unfold the guy. Suffice to say my upper body strength is… lacking 😅 #5gomadoneurostar

I loved being tour guide for #5GoMadOnEurostar - I showed them bits of #Camden and pretended to know all about them 🤓 Camden Council has done some impressive things though... 1/

Gid day wandering around Brussels on bike & foot, spying things I find interesting. Enjoyed the variety of bikes, the vast majority of which were city bikes and utility cycles for everyday riding 😍 Also saw a good number of retro steel road bikes, lovely #5gomadoneurostar

I must say that while Paris is bonkers to cycle, it’s probs my fave city I’ve explored by bike 🤔 The everyday cycling game here is strong despite the organised chaos. Have spent a lot of time enjoying Parisian style. A tiny selection of sartorial cycle chic #5gomadoneurostar

Enjoyed a properly wild cycle across Paris today to reach the train station. The volume of cyclists was bordering on Dutch. It’s a ballet of organised chaos and despite the bedlam, folk make it work. There are unwritten rules I will try to remember next time! #5gomadoneurostar

British Cycling would also like to welcome their other partners: Cyberdyne Systems, MomCorp, StrexCorp Synernists, Los Pollos Hermanos, Weyland-Yutani, ShinRa Electric Power Company, Lexcorp, and the Umbrella Corporation.

Glasgow's concrete buildings reflect a time when people dared to dream scotsman.com/news/opinion/c… (Kudos to the modernist® for making all this happen)

The thread about Sighthill Neuk; what makes this quiet and leafy, post-war, suburban street so very special and totally unique? threadinburgh.scot/2022/12/23/the…

Morning Twitter! I am having a bit of a nightmare trying to book a funeral tea near Mortonhall. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations of venues? My southside knowledge is rubbish and Google’s options have not come through for me. Any help appreciated!

Morning Twitter. Slightly urgent and also weird question. Does anyone know what this cable config is and how I can disconnect my internet router from it? It’s a virgin router 🤷🏻‍♀️
