I am hoping to do 1,000 miles on the bike this year. It's still June and I'm at 650 (surpassing the 620 for all of 2024.) I also did 120 this month which is the most miles I've done in a single month. I am glad I started riding and try to do it daily.

Somehow we made this part of the Queensboro Bridge worse. This is a 3-4ft wide two-way bike lane. There's so much wrong with this, from the metal manhole cover taking up almost the entire width of the bike lane, to the MUTCD-violating usage of sharrows, to those shitty rumble strip/speed bump things THAT ARE LOOSE.
Wtaf! #bikeNYC

Sidewalk next to a roadway. On the left, a subway entrance. On the right, the roadway with large columns next to it (holding up an elevated subway). In the middle, the sidewalk is divided with delineator posts. The left side of the sidewalk is for marked for pedestrians, and the right side is marked for bikes (via sharrows, which is.. not what they fucking mean, NYC DOT assholes! Sharrows literally mean a shared lane BETWEEN CARS AND BIKES. The 2009 MUTCD states, "Shared Lane Markings shall not…
Further down the same sidewalk, viewed from the bike area. The left side no has a "sidewalk closed use pedestrian walkway" sign and some green walls, then the ped walkway, then the bike area, and then columns and then the roadway (with cars moving in it). The bikeway continues to narrow to 3-4ft wide, and there's a bike parked next to a column that further narrows the bikeway. Someone is biking just past it, to give you an idea of a 2.5ft wide cyclist just barely fitting (forget a cargo bike or…

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!

Finally whole again. Picked up a new refurb bike from revolve reCYCLING, highly recommend for anyone in Sydney.
Pictured in background, my beloved retro aluminium frame steed also from revolve. Alas, time has taken it's toll and the metal of the fear fork fractured. Looking to have it welded back together shortly.

I definitely did not expect to get in 11 miles today! It's getting pretty warm/hot in the mornings though. I was out at 6:30am and that was even a bit too warm.

Nice wee ride out to @… today, had a good blether, and back by Castle Douglas where I picked up 25 Kg of cattle sweeties, 20 litres of fuel for the sawmill, and about 20Kg of groceries. 42 mile round trip.
The big bike is an awesome beast!

The big grey bakfiets-style bike, loaded with a white sack of cattle sweeties, a blue container of petrol, and a lot of groceries, in bright sunlight outside the co-op in Castle Douglas.
The same bike with the same load, at the top of my croft, with the roundhouse in the background. The sunlight is still bright, but slightly less so.

Today's bike ride was 8 miles but whatever the crazy thing is that I saw a guy get chased off the Menomonee River Parkway by a turkey! It chased him into the road, and he was running down the middle of the road and a car had to stop!

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.

I rode my bike to the library to return a book, which isn't terribly exciting, but I'm pleased that I can now take care of local errands by bike instead of car.

I hit 80 miles on my bike this month (yay!) but this morning was weird! I'm typically very careful, but three cars came way too close to me, or made bad turns near me.
I got home and realized I forgot to turn on my lights before I rode! Maybe lights really do make a huge difference.

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!

An NYPD SUV parked on a sidewalk. It says "fighting crime. Protecting the public." (lol)

Underneath the car is a wayfinding bike dot, showing where the bike lane is supposed to transition at the intersection. Except you can't bike there, because some asshole cops decided to park there instead.

Pretty boring route this morning but I got in 9.5 miles which is a lot for a weekday morning... I then did some relief prints and got ready for work so that was the "relaxing" part of the day I guess.

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.
