And here's our route. 13.2 miles (21.2km) in an hour and three-quarters. See it in detail on my #JoyRides map https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/peloton-rides_607319
Didn't have my GoPro, so you'll have to make do with a couple of photos from last night's @PelotonLiv

We can only know how healthy a FOSS ecosystem is in the UK if we tell others about our companies and projects.

I'll be biking around the Netherlands for a few days in June - we've got four days starting and ending in Amsterdam - any good tips from the fediverse? Boosts welcome!
Reading http://peerproduction.net/issues/issue-15-transition/peer-reviewed-papers/civic-spaces-collaborative-commons/ and both wishing someone was running something like Civic Tech Toronto here in Liverpool; and taking notes on techniques to try out in 'DoESLiverpool community-buiding

Still working on getting all six touch pads working correctly, and I'm going to slow the waves down a bit.
It's nice to have Iam (the walrus) back greeting anyone using the fridge in #DoESLiverpool, thanks to some surgery from Russ #weeknotes

UK local elections
If you’ve got a local election today, get down there and vote for whichever non-fash candidate is most likely to beat the Tories. Swallow that progressive infighting urge, and just #GetTheToriesOut !
