@bbcworld similarly I refused to renew my #BritishCycling membership because of their association with #Shell
Today at the track:

National Cycle Network route 72 is also called Hadrian’s Cycleway. It used to end at Ravenglass (a former Roman port). NCN 72 is also the only way for cyclists to pass the massive Sellafield site without using the fast & narrow A595. But #Sustrans have decided the section of NCN72 between Sellafield station and Seascale is too degraded to use - and so now advise cyclists to use the train instead! Why won’t they fix it? #BritishCycling #Cycling #WeAreCycling

Today I'm marshalling some bike races in rural Northumberland; I got sworn at by some car drivers, and profusely thanked by a lovely couple on a tandem tricycle to whom I loaned my spare track pump - I am a happy marshall #cycling #ams #BritishCycling
Pink News: British Cycling’s new ‘open’ category will put trans athletes at ‘major disadvantage’, says former racer https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/05/28/british-cycling-trans-women-ban/ #LGBT #LGBTQ #Trans #Lesbian #2SLGBTQ #britishcycling #transsportsban #cycling #Sport #Trans #News #UK

@hesgen Solidarity with #EmilyBridges I will be cancelling my membership of #BritishCycling
There is a whole lot that’s wrong with the #BritishCycling ban on #trans women athletes.
But the insistence on ‘research studies’ needs to be called out as many of the researchers in this area who contributed to the review are openly gender critical.
A contentious decision. But the right one I think.
Bridges will be free to race in the new "open" category, so will still have the opportunity to race at the highest levels of the sport if she's good enough.

Pink News: British Cycling bans trans women from competing against cis women, introduces ‘open’ category https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/05/26/british-cycling-trans-ban-emily-bridges/ #LGBT #LGBTQ #Trans #Lesbian #2SLGBTQ #britishcycling #emilybridges #Non-Binary #transban #Sport #Trans #News #UK

So, #BritishCycling have finally responded about including trans people in races.
The long and short of it is that there will be two categories: Open, and Female.
The Female category is only for people assigned female at birth and trans men who "have not yet started hormone therapy".
The Open category is open to transgender women, transgender men, non-binary people and people assigned male at birth.
So trans women are competing with men and trans men are competing with women.
There's a part of me (Adam mostly) that is a troll. We poke fun at the things that we don't think are right because that's better than hate.
Saw something about #BritishCycling and it reminded me of this tweet from October last year that got out of hand after we trolled their #Shell sponsorship. It got more likes than we have customers.
Got plenty of comments saying we don't do insurance though - which is correct. We don't, only #Coffee

My local cycling club has produced this excellent Christmas-themed poster to promote its cyclo-cross race on Sunday.
Compared to my time on Twitter, I know far fewer of my Mastodon followers personally. If the race isn’t local for you, I hope you enjoy the poster.
