Taking parcels to the post office today I stopped by a roundabout which temporarily has "bicycle art" on it. I then cycled on to a DIY shop to buy insulation because with the removal of the gas supply last winter we need to insulate the one relatively uninsulated room which remains in our home. That room was the boiler room but as there are no longer any gas appliances in our home we can reclaim it.

We're striving to reduce our environmental footprint in every way that we can.

And why do we have "bicycle art" on all the roundabouts in Assen at the moment ? Because the Road Cycling European Championships, "the pinnacle of cycling events on our continent" are going to be here in Drenthe on 20-24th of September.

There will be five days of events in all, 1000 riders will fly in from 40 different countries to ride their bikes for a few km, accompanied the whole time by ludicrous numbers of support and press vehicles as well as a few helicopters, and then they'll fly home again.

It will be spectacular but it's also incredibly irresponsible. International sport, including cycling, has a **huge** carbon footprint. It is literally killing people and needs to stop.

One nice detail of the #UEC #cyclocross #EuroChamps in #Silvelle, Italy was the added diversity within the freshly crowned winners: the men's under23 race was won by Frenchman Mickael Crispin, and the women's under23 race was won by Dutch rider Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado. Honestly great to see #cycling become less white and more diverse.

That was a hard piece of work: Mathieu van der Poel was constantly outnumbered by the Belgian armada, but he kept his cool and beat Eli Iserbyt on the final lap to win the #UEC elite men's #cyclocross #EuroChamps by a scant 3secs. Laurens Sweeck in 3rd, Michael Vanthourenhout in 4th and Lars van der Haar in 5th, so the entire top5 is made up by Dutch and Belgian riders. Business as usual "in het veld" with Pidcock in 8th and Orts in 9th for some international flavour.

#slowclap for the production crew at the #UEC #cyclocross #EuroChamps in #Silvelle: Showing replays, they missed the decisive moment and attack from van der Poel. Que vergogna!
