Pancake Day. All that fruit. Started so well. Then came the double cream, spray cream, jam, Nutella, Biscoff and M&M. Fold it over and hide those calories.
Today is the last day until October that the sun will set before 5pm. 5.01pm tomorrow! ☀️
Friday 30th January, meet at 6.30pm just across from the Bell Inn near Old Market Square. Leave at 7pm. 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲 #nottingham
Yep it is! Just crazy.
This driver incompetence needs to stop. We need to stop accepting it. It causes way too much damage, injury and death. New Year's Resolution 2026 for society?
2025 - what a busy year! So much has happened! More on samuelshoesmith.uk/2025/12/31/m... and here is a photo collage:
Merry Christmas Eve!
Looking to feel all Christmassy?! Or maybe not. Watch this. 12 years ago I featured in a film directed by Kevin Macdonald. It shows how people across Britain celebrated Christmas Day.
It's available to watch on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od1W...
Also have a look in the YouTube comments!
Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be . . . Velma.

Why did drivers not close pass me when cycling today? This is why. #closepass #cycling
Christmas special at Nero - Baileys and Tiramisu.
Enjoying this whilst working on my laptop with the heavy rain bashing against the windows. Niiicceeee.
10 years ago today. This did not last long. Close passes happen come what may. There's no light nor reflective or bright clothing that could combat against distracted or incompetent driving. Soon after I went back to normal clothes and had some lights. #sorrymatedidntseeyou
A map showing a new cycle route in yellow dotted line, redirecting part of NCN2 in Devon onto traffic-free paths, with the title Cycleways to nowhere
I FOI'd English councils whether they use legal land purchase powers to create traffic-free paths. Just 1% said they have successfully.
Why is something that's so common for roads almost never done for cycle routes? And what does it mean for cycling?

Remember, remember, the fifth of November. 🔥
Spooky. Down to Loughborough to help them launch their Critical Mass!
18 years ago today I had a brain haemorrhage and stroke. I always mark it as it made me, me! Such a seismic shift in everything! #brainhaemorrhage
Two years anniversary. Happy Birthday to my beautiful Raleigh. I use it near enough every day. Love it. ❤️
How did this get released!?
This news brings me sadness.
Hearing the news of the death of Patricia Routledge, memories came flooding back of one of her most famous characters. I watched back to back episodes of Keeping Up Appearances when I returned from my long stint in hospital in 2007.

At CM last night we cycle past this road.
Awful news.
Wishing the person cycling recovers quickly and the incompetent person driving gets a heavy sentence for causing serious injury by dangerous driving, failing to stop & drug driving and drink driving offences. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Starting September as I mean to go on. On the 1st I ran 12km, and went to the gym. Run tomorrow planned. 🏃🏻♂️

Memories time. 10 years ago today I helped power an outdoor cinema by cycling. And got Ben and Jerry's ice-cream as a reward.
