Feel like I am on another planet cycling in the Netherlands. This is a roundabout. Amazing.

Morning Twitter. Slightly urgent and also weird question. Does anyone know what this cable config is and how I can disconnect my internet router from it? It’s a virgin router 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyone in the market for a virtually brand new electric Brommie? I’ve got a pal selling so can vouch it’s in good condition. If it is in fact a total shed, I will eat my hats, of which I have many gumtree.com/p/bicycles/elect…

Morning Twitter! I am having a bit of a nightmare trying to book a funeral tea near Mortonhall. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations of venues? My southside knowledge is rubbish and Google’s options have not come through for me. Any help appreciated!

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 🤓 @CamdenCouncil 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 @GaryinScotland’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

I must admit I find the idea of this quite appealing but have no clue why.

Fantastic few days camping with the bike, with the main highlight being Glen Lyon. Took train to Dunblane, then spent several days pedalling back via the glen, Scone and then Edinburgh. I just never have a bad ride in the Trossachs, it’s got some of the best cycling ever 😍
