Glasgow's concrete buildings reflect a time when people dared to dream scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…
(Kudos to the modernist® for making all this happen)
Enjoyed a properly wild cycle across Paris today to reach the train station. The volume of cyclists was bordering on Dutch. It’s a ballet of organised chaos and despite the bedlam, folk make it work. There are unwritten rules I will try to remember next time! #5gomadoneurostar
I must say that while Paris is bonkers to cycle, it’s probs my fave city I’ve explored by bike 🤔 The everyday cycling game here is strong despite the organised chaos. Have spent a lot of time enjoying Parisian style. A tiny selection of sartorial cycle chic #5gomadoneurostar
Gid day wandering around Brussels on bike & foot, spying things I find interesting. Enjoyed the variety of bikes, the vast majority of which were city bikes and utility cycles for everyday riding 😍 Also saw a good number of retro steel road bikes, lovely #5gomadoneurostar
I loved being tour guide for #5GoMadOnEurostar - I showed them bits of #Camden and pretended to know all about them 🤓
Camden Council has done some impressive things though... 1/
As a newbie to the Brompton, I have many thoughts swirling around about this bike after a day featuring three cities, two train journeys, one epic queue & multiple tragic attempts to fold & unfold the guy. Suffice to say my upper body strength is… lacking 😅 #5gomadoneurostar
Enjoyed a nosey around Camden this avo. Check out this lovely urban park on Alfred Place. I have not seen the space before its transformation, but apparently it was a one-way through route for traffic with parking. Think it looks amazing! 😍 #5gomadoneurostar
And so begins an exciting but slightly clueless trip to the continent with Gary Cummins’s lovely borrowed Brompton. Expect a series of cycle infra & campaigning tweets over the next six days as I attempt to fold my way around Brussels & Paris #5gomadoneurostar
Stand by, London, Brussels and Paris, we're on our way on Friday #5GoMadOnEurostar cityexile.wordpress.com/2022/09/14/ano…
