A Missed opportunity Holy Trinity Church, Huddersfield, Sunday 6th May 2018 Vicar Mike missed a trick in his sermon illustration this morning. The sermon illustration he did use was of a flight of geese, and how they can fly 71% further by flying in the V formation. It was all about teamwork, based on Moses's …

Goodbye social cycling

On 01/06/2016 By balaamIn Cycling, Huddersfield2 Comments

(sorry about the self-pity) Well I tried. I tried riding with Huddersfield's Cyclist Touring Club (or should that be Cycling UK, they've re-branded) and I have failed. Failed to keep up. Failed to enjoy the ride. Since the diagnosis with type 2 diabetes I have found the nausea that builds up through this level of exercise …

Extraterrestrial

On 13/08/2013 By balaamIn CyclingLeave a comment

Sometimes I look up at the sky and wonder, "Is there intelligent life on other planets?" I don't get out cycling nearly enugh as I'd like, and the chance of combining a ride with a chance to see some shooting stars, with the Earth going through the Perseid cloud there's no better time to go …

It is over seven years since my accident, but still these stories catch my attention. The latest was a story in Wednesday's Metro about a lady who had killed a cyclist whilst adjusting her sat-nav and driving blind for 20 seconds. She is being prosecuted for causing death by careless driving, Why not manslaughter? That …

Car Hits CyclistThis is the sort of story that attracts me, having spent the last seven years with an injures foot due to having been a cyclist in collision with a car. But instead of a diatribe against motorists, which is what people would expect, I'm taking the other tack.Like most cyclist I don't want to own the roads, but I …
