Sainsbury’s have launched their speedy bike delivery service called “Chop Chop” (do wot?!! – what a ridiculous name) which they are expanding outside of London. Could definitely be the job for me?!! However, I’m not sure about what they’re wearing though🙄 https://buff.ly/2UxWLDd #bike #CyclingLifestyle

Cycle lane parking
It has been approved for councils to issue fines for drivers who park in cycle lanes. It’s a job to argue that this isn’t a good thing is it not? – no question.

Uber anger
Uber is crushing and throwing away their older Jump bikes in the USA, just because it’s “too difficult” to recycle them. Just the waste. Horrendous. They are crushing them, yes, crushing bikes.

Steel is real
It’s a bit niche, I can’t deny, but here’s a selection of some beautiful steel-framed road bikes to salivate over. Why not have some fun and decide which is your favourite? The Colnago has that classic look and makes you want to swoon, and the Holdsworth frame is nice but now you know it’s owned by Planet X it doesn’t quite fee the same. The Shand Cycles Stoater for me looks stylish and is practical for everyday riding and off-roading. It’s the one that I’d be saving my pennies for if I had any!

As well as buying them, people have been getting them out the shed and finding them seized up and not working well. If you’ve got some skills and knowledge, get yourself out there fixing bikes! https://buff.ly/2MA2hk1 #bike #BikeLife #Cycle
