1. This lovely little video to promote the Woodland Trust’s VisitWoods project is so far up my street that it’s gone out the other end, turned around and come back again!

  2. Unforgiving concrete, searing pain as an awkwardly twisted body finally embraces it. A penetrating scrape registers as the new and treasured bike reconciles itself to it’s ill-fated meeting with the road, simultaneous to an exposed elbow smashing into abrasive surface.

    A painfully vivid description of a cyclist getting hit by a car. As a daily rider, this is the black dog I have to ignore.

  3. “The challenge isn’t to just point at, talk around or think about stuff in the past or future…”  Ted’s usual thought-provking stuff.

  4. It’s evil to work in advertising. Quite a statement, I’m aware. So let me break it down a bit and build up logically. Because I think that when you do that, you can’t help but come to this conclusion.

    WWF-UK’s Earth Hour 2011 Royal Albert Hall Event (by WWFunitedkingdom)

  7. Ride… ride like the wind… This Saturday, the 26th March, at 8.30 to 9.30 is WWF’s Earth Hour, where we all switch off our lights to show support for action on climate change. As a good WWF staff member, I’m heading along to Knightsbridge to pedal a bike-powered power station for 60 minutes, with 60 others, to run a projector beaming onto the Albert Hall! That’s all good fun, but I had a crazy notion that, to celebrate Earth Hour, WWF’s 50th anniversary and to raise a bit of money, I’d ride there from WWF’s home in Godalming - Panda House. So, I’m going to ride the 33 miles from GU7 to SW7, then pop my bike on a stand with a dynamo and ride for another hour. Surely that’s worth a few quids-worth of your money? So please dig deep and donate now. You’re all lovely.

  9. How do you get your point across over an issue as contentious as climate change? As a hearing in the US Congress last week showed, the evidence alone is not enough.
