War or Cycling?
Well Britian has it’s new “austerity budget” as we’ve all been too profligate (apparently) and our economy is in a worse state than that of Greece. History repeats itself all too frequently as this clip from the 1979 BBC show “Not the 9 O’ Clock News” shows only to well.

Sheffield - City of Culture?
When I got the council magazine through the door the other day I thought that Sheffield was going to be European CIty of Culture, until I read the article properly and realised it was only the UK…and they hadn’t even won the bid for that. Never mind, at least it’s kept someone busy flyposting all over the City Hall. Architecture obviously doesn’t count as culture. Wonder...

Summer Games and Rides
I’ve not been joining in the Summer Games as I’ve been away on holiday, but out of curiousity I wondered how many of the categories I’d done over the last week just as a normal part of my routine.
Social Cycling
Go on a group ride - total fluke, yesterday I discovered there was a “cycle chic” ride on this evening. At such short notice I had to take my two...

Sheffield Cycle Chic
I could’ve called this post “Lady in Red”, but I can’t stand Chris De Burgh - so instead “Sheffield Cycle Chic” seems rather fitting as this lady is clearly setting the standard.

World Cup
I have no interest whatsoever in grown men kicking a leather object around in some mud, but even I have not been able to escape the fact that the World Cup is on and apparently that is of “national importance” (ie an excuse for a piss up, usually to drown sorrows when England gets knocked out in the first round). When I see flags flying from cars I generally assume they are been...

It's summer!
The flip-flops are out so it’s official. Of course due to our lovely consistent Sheffield climate it is quite likely we will be in our winter clothes again by next week (which is lucky for me, as I’m so behind in my posting, that half the time you are getting photos I took back in April - but can you tell?). Anyway, enjoy it while you can. :-)
