Does someone knows the name of this kind of bolt and how to lose it ?

Somehow I managed 9.54 miles today in 48 minutes with an average speed of 12mph... I guess I made up for yesterday when I only did 4 indoor miles.

Had a day off and did a 4 hour ride on the VA capital trail. Went much further than I planned. The forever punchline is the hill that leads to my house.... I always end up having to walk it.

That was a nice stage in the Giro, it made all the stages before look even more boring.
Well deserved wins for Yates and Harper.

Bike Month is back, and that means it's time for Pedal Poll! We're counting usage of active transit (and adjacent) facilities along corridors in our cities next week.
If you have 2 hours to spare, sign up for a shift!

I rode my bike 600 miles in 2024 and it's June 1st, 2025 and I'm over 500 miles for this year!
My goal for 2025 is 1,000 miles which I think is still doable as long as I don't have any injuries (sigh) and nothing else goes wrong.

Today’s ride was tough but I got in 12 miles and saw a bird… I did see another large bird and a baby rabbit but didn’t get photos.

Family biked together over to the advance polls to vote today. Smooth and efficient, ample bicycle parking & competent staff.
Make the future we want to live in.

23km bike ride today, to one town over, stopped for coffee, got my brows done, and dropped the bike at a shop for some long-overdue maintenance. Need to replace the chain, worn cassette, stretched brake cables, and clean a winter's worth of road grime out of every crevice.
That'll take a week, so bussed home. Got another coffee across the street while waiting 3 minutes for a transfer.
Good day.

Cycling question: trying out saddles, in the UK
UK cycling people, is there somewhere you'd go to sit on different saddles to test if they're comfortable? Is that a thing?
I've worked out that my (default came-with-the-bike) saddle isn't the right shape for me: it's giving me an achy tailbone, as well as I think being a bit too narrow for optimal sit-bone comfort.
For context, I'm an "occasional cyclist for pleasure and/or practical reasons", shall we say. No ambition to be super fast.
Looking around online, I think I want something more like the Rido R2 or one of the Selle ones, shaped to have air under the tailbone area. Or maybe even a noseless one like the Spongy Wonder, though I don't like the look of how the metal frame sticks out at the front of those.
What's the chances a shop would have more than one of those and a willingness to get them out for a test sit? Or, better still, is there a loan scheme anywhere, so you can actually "test drive" them for a bit? Or do people usually just buy and be willing to sell again?
I'm in Nottingham, and I know there are bike shops I could get to, but I'm not seeing "come in and try all these saddles, we'll help you to find the right one" kinds of messaging.
Could also potentially travel elsewhere at some point if it turns out there's some kind of "best place in the country for that question".
Advice welcome!

Reminder to people who drive motor vehicles on streets in the city. Street driving is generally allowed, except where signs give notice it is prohibited. But it must be done with due caution and reasonable speed, and the motorist must yield to all other traffic, including pedestrians, cyclists, and trams, and must give an audible signal before overtaking and passing.

Bike Week! Got in 8.5 miles in 45 minutes.

Found myself in Hamilton Ontario without my bicycle, and the opportunity to check out the local #SoBi #bikeshare system. Super easy signup, easy to access docks, wildly chonky locks, and *baskets*.
The bikes would really benefit from better lights though. It gets dark out here.

Great ride today as I’m finally back home after being in Scotland for a week.
