Great bike ride today from Kirkintilloch to Maryhill via the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath. The cycling infrastructure in #Glasgow is improving and the Stockingfield Bridge development is just amazing. The towpath is a perfect bike route into the city, past swans, cygnets and herons basking in the sun.

Because I am old 😭 I consult this checklist before every bike ride, and yes, I once left the house without the bike 😂 #cyclingtoots #cycling

This view though 🤩 #gravelcycling #cyclingtoots

Today’s ride was a 30 to and fro gravel route between Galax and Fries. Enjoyed stunning views and a nice and easy pace with the Charlotte Area Cycling group #GravelBiking #cycling #gravelcycling #cyclingtoots #blackmastodon

Your perspective with self discipline changes so much once you start doing things out of love instead of shame. Flipping the script from "I need to workout” to
"I deserve to ride my bike today." #cycling #roadcycling #cyclingtoots

Happy 4th of July! Today we joined the Matthews Holiday Ride for a 30 mile route with scenic countryside and rolling hills #cycling #roadcycling #cyclingtoots #blackmastodon

Cycling has done a lot for me, but one thing that may not be so obvious is how it helped me become more confident in my appearance. Before cycling, I would always shy away from the camera and didn't like any photos of myself. Well, now I won't finish a ride without snapping a selfie or ten 😂 #cyclingtoots #roadcycling #selflove

Sometimes we can get too caught up in all the numbers: average speed, miles ridden, elevation climbed, and personal records. But let's not forget the true essence of biking—pure joy! It's about enjoying time alone or with friends, soaking in stunning sunsets, and feeling the wind playfully tousling our hair (what hair 😂). Don't let the stats steal the magic! 🚲✨ #roadcycling #cycling #cyclingtoots #blackmastodon

Trying out the TriEye glasses for the first time and jury is still out. Initial impression is that it’s good for checking on fellow riders behind and virtually useless for seeing vehicles. It may be more useful for more upright/commuter bikes than roadies #cycling #roadcycling #cyclingtoots

Domino (gravel bike) has been feeling neglected so I took her for my recovery ride. Since she heavier (don’t tell her I said that 😂 ), it forces me to go slower and stay in zone 2 #cycling #roadcycling #cyclingtoots #blackmastodon

Training for my first century in October has officially began #roadcycling #cyclingtoots #seagullcentury #blackmastodon

I am racing every time I get on my bike.
I’m racing against the old man trying to creep his way inside my body.
I’m racing against the onset of chronic and metabolic diseases and other health problems.
I’m racing against mental illnesses, stress, and depression.
I’m racing the man I was yesterday. #cycling #cyclingtoots #aiart #Blackandwhite #roadcycling

…but first, let me take a selfie #cycling #cyclingtoots #roadcycling

Some new kit arrived in the post. Cap inspired by #tedlasso and #teamamani jersey. #newkitday is always a good day #cycling #cyclingtoots

Just got my  Vision Pro headset. Now I can see the road ahead in Retina resolution #lol #cyclingtoots #cycling #applevisionpro

Despite my Karoo crapping the bed, we still had a great ride from Ingleton to Morecambe coast via the Lancaster-Morecambe cycle path #cycling #cyclingadventures #roadcycling #cyclingtoots

I could feel my mood change during my ride today. I was achy and grumpy to start, and within 20 minutes of riding, I was greeting everyone and their dog on the greenway. Cycling is magical #WorldBicycleDay #cyclingtoots #biketooter #cycling

Daddy-daughter bike ride around the village. Getting her confidence up so she can start cycling to school on her own #qualitytime #cycling #cyclingtoots
