Also in #30DaysOfBiking I read a really good book about Britain's National Cycle Network.
_Potholes and Pavements_ by Laura Laker is a travelogue about her journeys around Britain by bike, but she also meets the people who built the network. It’s a history of the NCN, a love letter to it, and a long list of complaints (that I think all users share). It’s also full of hope for the future, and I want to keep quoting bits of it at people.
The conclusion to April's #30DaysOfBiking
🚲🌅 Day 28, just an evening amble about on my bike.
🚲🎲 Day 29, regular trip out to play board games.
🚲🛒🛍️ Day 30, a trip to the supermarket where I overloaded my shopping bags causing one of them to bend its clips which meant it popped off the rack into the road at the slightest bump and a spilt bag of liquorice allsorts were abandoned in the carriageway 😢 Frustrating and a bad note to end the month on really.
(Summary to follow.)
Nope, jeg har det ikke i meg å sykle i dag etter 12 timer på reise.
Alle har én dag i rekka si hvor de kan finne på en god unnskyldning, ikke sant?
Jeg har sykla 724 km i april og sjøl om det er en teit grunn, sier jeg at da er det lov å hoppe over en dag. Usikker på hvem som vil arrestere meg også?
Men, bare én dag 🤣

Day 30 #30DaysofBiking
I finished off the month with a commute to work, but also swinging by Steamship Games to pick up sleeves for my MTG cards. I've had some of these cards for 17 years, better late than never I suppose!
The folks at Steamship seem pretty cool, and the owner supports the Livable Lyndale campaign!
Après 30 jours de défi #30JoursAVélo #30DaysOfBiking on va faire quoi ? 🤔
Ben on va faire un peu de vélo entre #Grenoble et #Mulhouse 😁 #VéloForever
I've only managed maybe 15 or so of #30daysOfBiking this year but I bet I swept more miles of bike lanes than the other "contestants".
50min 6.6mi +490ft on #BikeLaneSweeper today
total of 78miles +5758ft swept in April #pdxBikes #BikeTooter
Day thirty: Decent evening ride to finish out the thirty days, although I don't think there was ever a really warm day for riding this April. Kind of surprised to see the deer so far out in the open so early in the evening, it was still pretty much still full daylight.
It felt nice to stop and smell the tulips. I'm thankful that I can bike. Day 30 of #30daysofbiking #BikeTooter
#30DaysOfBiking day 30. Happy to finish with a metric century that eluded me this time last year.
24 °C (feels like 23 °C), Humidity 65%, Clear, Wind SSW 13 km/h, Gusts 26 km/h.
#30DaysOfBiking Day 30:
I am training for a trip to ride the entire Mickelson Trail in South Dakota in a few weeks, so for today's ride, I tried to emulate that ride as best I could locally. I hauled my gravel bike to La Crosse Wisconsin and rode the La Crosse River and Elroy-Sparta State Trails for 60 miles. The tunnels on the Elroy-Sparta are still closed for the season, so I just rode to the entrance of Tunnel 3. It turned out to be a nicer day than the forecast; that was nice.

Jour 30.
C'est le dernier jour de #30joursàvélo #30DaysofBiking 🚴♀️ mais c'est #MaiÀVélo qui débute 😎
Une dernière photo de vélib pour la forme.
Les fleurs des jardinières de Montrouge colorent les ruelles.
Les belles façades parisiennes et les magnifiques cours intérieures de #Paris 🤩
Au #théâtre La Flèche se joue "La honte". Et vous pouvez même confier un moment de gêne, d'embarras, de honte dans de petits carnets à l'entrée ou à la sortie.
Bilan d'avril : 27 jours pédalés pour un total de 748km dont 147 à vélib électrique.
I biked last night (it was raining; I did not melt) and then again today to pick up my lunch and biking every day (save one) in April has reminded me that I love biking and the best part of every day often involves being on a bike. Maybe time to transition #30DaysOfBiking to #BikeADay? Happy riding!

Celebrated day 30 of #30DaysOfBiking with a morning greenway ride! Suddenly this week, we’re in the “bike in the morning before it gets too hot” season & fortunately my schedule cooperated. Beautiful morning. #BikeTooter
Hova i Gullspång kommune er kjent verden rundt for to ting. Den andre er Ridderuka på seinsommeren. Dag 15 av #30daysofbiking tok meg til en butikk så jeg fikk kjøpt sild å ha med meg hjem til Norge i morra.

Dernière photo pour #30DaysOfBiking avec… mon vélo. Oui, un vélo de location, le même depuis plusieurs années. Toujours cet immense plaisir de faire du vélo. Pour les déplacements en famille, le travail, les courses, le loisir. Pour 5 minutes ou pour partir toute la journée. Vive le vélo.
A 🚴 on est généreux et en ce dernier jour de #30JoursAVélo #30DaysOfBiking , c'est #DonDePlasma à l'EFS #Grenoble 🏥👍 #DonDeSang
Day twenty-nine: calm, cool night ride with clear skies, with a sliver of moon as the only light besides the bicycle lights. There are absolutely no street lights where I live and houses are far apart and set far back from the street, so when it's dark it is really dark.
