For Nottingham Frontrunners, it was a Halloween themed run. What used to scare me? Oompa loompas! #halloweenthemedrun #nottingham

I have requested this ages. I was shocked when I saw it in! So pleased! It's a place of recreation not a "free" car park. #nottingham #notts #bollard #barrier #chain #waterloocrescent

What a busy week and a bit! #cycling #volunteering #bikebus #criticalmass #nottingham

Good bye Maid Marian Way car park. #maidmarianway #concretejungle #maidmarianwaycarpark #nottingham

@showmeasign.online just dropping you a message to say hi online! I was the guy that fangirled when he was sitting near you at the ATE conference but in the moment managed to merge you and Ranty Highwayman. Sorry about mixing you up. Haha. Hope you had a good conference!

Bike buses! #bikebus #cycle #cycling more info is on the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust website @walkwheelcycletrust

Up series. Watch it! #7up #upseries #documentary

One of the privileges of bicycle diplomacy is seeing Dutch cities through other people’s eyes. Yesterday, Chris explored Amsterdam by duofiets with Mexican mobility leader Luis Álvarez-Icaza. Every transformation begins with a conversation. And sometimes, it takes place on a bicycle built for two.

Reminder: the Waterside Bridge opens on Tuesday 2nd June at midday. Further details here including a Pedals' Celebratory Ride in the evening. www.pedals.org.uk/2026/04/25/w...

Kidical Mass Nottingham is coming back on Sunday 28th June 2026! Big group cycle ride! Everyone welcome. #cycling #bicycle #cycle #nottingham #kidicalmass #kidicalmassnottingham

Nearly missed it! Happy Ed Balls Day!

Critical Mass Nottingham - Friday 24th! Critical Mass Nottingham on Friday 24th, meet 6.45pm just across from The Bell Inn near Old Market Square. #criticalmassnottingham #nottingham #notts #cycling #cycleride

Currently in Hillegom, Netherlands. Love!

More of these needed.

Cars need to go on a diet. Aim for this size or smaller.

I went to the Ay-up market on Old Market Square. #ayupmarket #notts #nottingham #independents #supportlocalbusiness

Pancake Day. All that fruit. Started so well. Then came the double cream, spray cream, jam, Nutella, Biscoff and M&M. Fold it over and hide those calories.

Today is the last day until October that the sun will set before 5pm. 5.01pm tomorrow! ☀️

Friday 30th January, meet at 6.30pm just across from the Bell Inn near Old Market Square. Leave at 7pm. 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲 #nottingham

This driver incompetence needs to stop. We need to stop accepting it. It causes way too much damage, injury and death. New Year's Resolution 2026 for society?

2025 - what a busy year! So much has happened! More on samuelshoesmith.uk/2025/12/31/m... and here is a photo collage:

Merry Christmas Eve!

Looking to feel all Christmassy?! Or maybe not. Watch this. 12 years ago I featured in a film directed by Kevin Macdonald. It shows how people across Britain celebrated Christmas Day. It's available to watch on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od1W... Also have a look in the YouTube comments!

Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be . . . Velma.

Last week, I had an angiogram. #angiogram #avm #oxford #johnradcliffe

Why did drivers not close pass me when cycling today? This is why. #closepass #cycling

Christmas special at Nero - Baileys and Tiramisu. Enjoying this whilst working on my laptop with the heavy rain bashing against the windows. Niiicceeee.

10 years ago today. This did not last long. Close passes happen come what may. There's no light nor reflective or bright clothing that could combat against distracted or incompetent driving. Soon after I went back to normal clothes and had some lights. #sorrymatedidntseeyou

I FOI'd English councils whether they use legal land purchase powers to create traffic-free paths. Just 1% said they have successfully. Why is something that's so common for roads almost never done for cycle routes? And what does it mean for cycling? lauralaker.substack.com/p/cycleways-...

Ready for Celebrity Race Across the World.

Remember, remember, the fifth of November. 🔥

Spooky. Down to Loughborough to help them launch their Critical Mass!

Two years anniversary. Happy Birthday to my beautiful Raleigh. I use it near enough every day. Love it. ❤️

This news brings me sadness. Hearing the news of the death of Patricia Routledge, memories came flooding back of one of her most famous characters. I watched back to back episodes of Keeping Up Appearances when I returned from my long stint in hospital in 2007. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

At CM last night we cycle past this road. Awful news. Wishing the person cycling recovers quickly and the incompetent person driving gets a heavy sentence for causing serious injury by dangerous driving, failing to stop & drug driving and drink driving offences. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Starting September as I mean to go on. On the 1st I ran 12km, and went to the gym. Run tomorrow planned. 🏃🏻‍♂️ Preparation for the Robin Hood Half Marathon. #nottingham #robinhoodhalfmarathon

The next Kidical Mass Nottingham is on Sunday 24th August. Meet at Victoria Embankment Children's Cycle Park. Dr Bike will be doing free quick bike repairs from 10.30am. Ride leaves at 11am. See you there! #nottingham #kidicalmass #kidicalmassnottingham

Memories time. 10 years ago today I helped power an outdoor cinema by cycling. And got Ben and Jerry's ice-cream as a reward.

20 years ago today I went to France for the first time. It was an end of Year 7 day trip. #memories #photographyskillslacked

Just reading Manchester's Street For All strategy document and saw this cute graphic. That massive queue of cars you see is actually only a few people. #manchester #beenetwork #streetsforall
