E.T. is on. Blatant collusion between Hollywood and the bicycle industry that duped a generation of BMX riders. Or maybe just me. πŸ˜…

Ooh, I’ll fix that! He was a bit ethereal in the mix, wasn’t he? πŸ‘»

I’ve fixed it and republished the episode, with Chris restored to all his original Dolby Atmos Campagnolo Super Record Technicolor glory.

Finally getting to Canyon//SRAM’s tenth anniversary special. Mad to think the team’s lineage actually goes back to Specialized Lululemon and Telekom/T-Mobile before that, some 20+ years ago. πŸ‘ #CyclingBlueSky

I bought this tome from the Vintage-Cycling Club at the Simpson Retro a couple of weeks ago. It is RIDICULOUSLY geeky, as well as being hugely informative. I’m already down a Carlton frame number rabbit hole. πŸ€“#CyclingBlueSky

I worked there from late 1990 until 1994. Our offices were well away from the good stuff but I still remember walking across the main hall on winter evenings and watching snow fall on the glass roof. Magical. 😊

Definitely not a Flanders Classic at Ibrox tonight, at least not ifyou support the home team. Got a good pic, mind.

On the local supporters bus to the Rangers v Brugges game tonight and sitting with my son and his pals. It occurs to me that my scarf is easily twice as old as all of them and probably older than their dads. 🀣

.@massivewagons.bsky.social are always brilliant live but Friday’s Patreon bash in Morecambe was next level. Throat still feeling the vocal exertions today, while the 70s disco outfit is on the washing line frightening the neighbours. Missing my long black hair, mind. πŸ˜‚

My morning commute is a 1km walk to the station followed by a similar walk to the office. Neither is onerous but I really really want a Brompton 🀣. #CyclingBlueSky

Sleeper - Sale Of The Century (Video)
Sleeper - Sale Of The Century (Video) YouTube video by SleeperVEVO

Spotify has been trolling me with #Britpop all weekend, which has been no bad thing really (post-Morning Glory Oasis notwithstanding) and especially since I subsequently rediscovered Sleeper’s first 2 albums.
