That's quite breezy! No doubt we'll have someone cancelling their bike hire, tsk ... #weather #glitch #itsafinedayreally

Enabled by our trusty hire e-bikes which helped propel Danielle, Morgan and their gear up Glen Einich to begin their walk!

Big if true
The Surly Moonlander 2.0 has arrived, and it pushes the limits of production fat bikes with massive 6.2-inch tires, a Pinion gearbox, and 197mm front and rear spacing! Naturally, we had to this new rock-crawling beast out on the roughest terrain around... bikepacking.com/bikes/surly-…

I bought a wee ding fork to fix this rim but it's useless :(

Ok Scotland were a mess last night, but in the second half they lost by just one goal with only 10 players! #optimism

I had my bike stolen in Norway - a @KinesisBikes_UK Tripster AT - with mudguard on the rear, very rare studded tyres (prototypes, as in picture), Brooks Cambium saddle and distinctive bar tape. It was stolen outside Vestby railway station between 5 - 7 March. Please share, thx!

There was a Dipper singing on the Spey at Kingussie this afternoon. It was so lovely, I wonder if that's usual for January?

It is with a heavy heart I report that as of today the Sphinx has gone *again*. What 100 years ago was considered to be a permanent feature of our hills has vanished for the 10th time. Five of these have been since 2017. A sad day. 📷 Joe Glennie

Linseed oil and CDs - not a good combination :( What kind of idiot keeps both in the same cupboard anyway...

This is what happens when a carbon race frame meets a bollard on the A9 cycle path #binarrello

I'm pretty certain I heard a Nuthatch from our Garden this evening! Any Badenoch and Strathspey people seen or heard one in the area? #nuthatch #cairngorms

The Surly Bridge Club is a bike I often recommend to customers looking for a simple all-rounder. It's great to see it get such a good review as a sturdy off-road tourer
Bridge Club is “a joy to rip around unloaded on mixed-surface roads and trails at home, while still having a tubeset that is robust enough to handle tours here and there.” via @TheRadavist theradavist.com/surly-bridge…

Today's unlikely bike shop conversation with a hire customer: "so how did you come to own Hawkwind's Mellotron?"
