Just call us Tom and Barbara

Saturday, March 31st, 2007

Had a brilliant family day today. We walked to the shops, with E and L riding their bikes, to get a WiFi adapter for the old PC I salvaged from work and a new toilet seat. When we got home, S cut the grass while me and L did some gardening and E […]

March Riding

Proper rides: 0 miles (again! No proper rides for two months running is pathetic.)
Business miles: 45 miles (five 9 mile trips, road)
Commuting: 105 miles (21 days riding to work and back)
Misc: 20 miles (a couple of trips to town)

Solitude build gets nearer to completion

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

Last night I put my tyres onto my wheels. I put the rear wheel and saddle/seatpost into the frame. I connected up the front wheel, forks, stem and handle bars. I couldn’t join the front of the bike to the rear, but I got Sarah to hold them together so I can […]

Solitude build a step closer

Monday, March 26th, 2007

On Saturday morning the stem and chain i ordered from Wiggle arrived. On-One are currently processing my order for brake levers, canti, innertubes, sprocket and lockring.

I’ve turned into one of those people who write letters to their local newspaper

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

I’ve just sent a reply to a letter in today’s Northern Echo, which was about a photograph of me in Monday’s paper. Last night, I was guest speaker at a local Liberal Democrat meeting. On Saturday, I was speaking at a meeting of 50 people I helped to organise.

How did this happen?

That Channel 4 Climate Change Programme

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

Just in case anyone watched it and believed it:

Bad Science: Insert “swindle� joke here
Comment is free: Don’t let truth stand in the way of a red-hot debunking of climate change
Climate change: An inconvenient truth… for C4

700see

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

I’m here. Suffice to say that I have not been well since October + I’m sorry again for prolonged waits. I am building bikes & 700see does exist…although I opted to start over after major anxiety looking at the original issue #1. The new issue #1 is more like a novella in length (same # […]

My aim is to travel from the UK to Brisbane for one of my best friends’ wedding. Plane travel is so environmentally damaging so I am looking for another way. I also think that by travelling over land and sea I will be able to understand our world better as I will connect with the […]
