Thread.

His partner is asking me to share the news with the cycling, activism, and disability circles which were so important to him. If you have communities, Twitter or otherwise, that included him, please do pass this sad information on.

I see the world continues to be utterly awful this morning, but I just remembered how at bedtime last night 5yo, out of nowhere, launched into a surprisingly good rendition of The Wellerman of Tiktok sea shanty fame and we couldn't stop laughing for about five minutes.

It was almost as funny as the time, again with zero context, he shouted "Business in the front, party in the back!"

Keen for cats to stop being squished by cars? Our council aren't fans of protecting humans so we're taking part in the global Kidical Mass rides next month for our feline friends instead 🚲 Painted whiskers are strongly encouraged 😺 Get involved ⤵️ spokeout.org.uk/catsnotcars/

It's ironic that the photo chosen by the UK government to celebrate Earth Day shows an utterly devastated landscape. All of it is below the treeline, but there's not a tree to be seen. Helvellyn here, like most of the Lake District National Park, has been grazed to death.

Disabled cyclists need accessible parking spots.

Yet another new conservative leader is absolutely not the change we need. Nor is a Labour Party refusing to stand up for the changes we urgently need. Our system isn't working - it's time to do things differently. We need Proportional Representation.

5yo has spent the afternoon riding from Hatherley right across town to Pittville to meet one friend in the park, then on to another friend's house in Whaddon, then back home. Offered the option of the trailerbike, but he is a Very Determined Bear at the moment.

But tell me again how your able-bodied adult ass needs an entire Range Rover to carry it a mile or two into town.🤔 Also tell me again about how home-ed kids don't have a social life 😆

The harm principle: Your freedom ends where it harms others.

Public service announcement for whoever needs to hear it: The United Kingdom isn’t being invaded. Anyone saying it is owes the people of Ukraine an apology and should be ignored.

@kestrelart1 Owain The Labour Party We've had a wasted century because of FPTP. How much longer are we supposed to give Labour to figure this out? If you vote Labour you are voting for decades more of Tory policies (sometimes under Labour gov'ts)

Boomers: kids don't go outside enough these days! When I was young we were always running around outside, playing hoop stick etc, now it's all "mine craft" smh this is why the REFUGEES have WON also boomers: it is morally wrong for a father to teach his kid to ride a bike
