I had no idea there was a film adaptation. The Master and Margarita is one of my favourite books, will definitely have to try and watch it!

Terravail Ramparts are really squishy and comfy. Come in all sorts of sizes as well. Not cheap though!

It turns out my partner has a spare keyboard and laptop riser like the one above! I'm WFH tomorrow so will try it out and see if I need to change anything else.

Yeah, definitely one to see with as little information as possible going in! I've not seen Looker, will add it to the list.
The Garden Cinema's great, I need to get back there soon. Maybe I'll try and see Nosferatu or Megalopolis there.

I've just seen The Substance. Pretty wild stuff, made me want to rewatch Society.

No cover! I'm not certain it was a Burley tbh, I didn't get a proper look (and my memory is appalling anyway). Sorry, that's not much to go on is it?

I saw a Burley trailer (I think) abandoned on one of the little streets opposite Lee Valley Velodrome on Monday. I assumed it belonged to someone who lived down there but maybe not! It was on Brewers Lane I believe. Might be worth popping by for a look?

The Bike Project have a brick and mortar shop in Camberwell. All of their profits go to refugee projects so more legit than a random eBay seller. Still a pretty punchy price!

Dickies? Loads of options and not too pricey.

Drop bars or flats/risers? If the latter, I love my Sealskinz lobster gloves. They're a nightmare with drops and hoods though.

Puppy in a sling with a Nails hoody. Balancing the softie/tough guy look nicely.

Uh oh! How did she manage that?

I'm going to try raising my laptop as a first step. I think I'm quite hunched which is probably the biggest problem. My partner has a monitor that I'll try as well, see if that improves my position. I don't really like using one generally but beats knackering my back.

If that doesn't work, I'll spend the money on a decent chair.

Reckon you could pull this ensemble off?

You just need to accept the welly life I'm afraid.

Interesting! I guess the 4% quote is more of a nice headline than anything then.

My word

A colleague of mine attended a walking and cycling conference last week. One of the speakers was the deputy mayor of Paris. An interesting statistic he brought back was that apparently only 4% of journeys made in Paris use cars. An article by the BBC in 2023 suggests that 38% of journeys in outer London and 19% in inner London are made by car.
I'm sure that there's more to dissect there, there seem to be a lot more mopeds/scooters etc in Paris than in London for example (the source for this being my anecdotal, personal experience) but it seems that they're doing something right over there.

Show off

Thanks for the suggestions! I think Barcelona is top of the list at the moment.

Yeah, definitely thinking a city break type thing! And definitely thinking abroad for this one. Barcelona is our top choice at the moment. Stockholm is a good shout (if we can stretch the budget). I spent a few years touring with bands for a living and have spent a lot of time in Berlin and Amsterdam and love them both but fancy something different and a bit less familiar. I would say most of Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium and France are in the same boat.

Thinking about places for a long weekend away in mid October. Went to Lisbon at the same time of year a couple of years ago and loved it.
Requirements are: easy to get to from London, relatively inexpensive, vegan friendly, stuff to do and see (we're not beach holiday people).
Any left field suggestions?

Is it just a Go Pro mount bolted on?

Yes please!

I was recommended Accu on here recently. Ridiculous array of stuff so I'm sure they'll have what you're after. The shipping is quite pricey though.
