Spent the evening experimenting with camera angles and filming options on bike with @Styles
Took a slightly longer route home to chat more, as it was a lovely cool summer night, great for riding. Got a bit of video as I came through Prince's Park

When the sun had set we dispersed.
Some jumped on the train at Formby back to Liverpool. Others headed back the way we'd come, back along the coast.
I led some of us through Formby to pick up the Cheshire Lines path, for a night ride in the West Lancs countryside.
Back to Maghull, where half got the train - one to Ormskirk, others to Liverpool and the Wirral. And the remaining three cycleteers carried on back into Liverpool.
Hab's dann doch noch für 'ne kleine Nachttour zwischen Schlieren und Wipkingen der Limmat entlang #rausgeschafft. 15.6km bei angenehmen 12℃-14℃.
Der Werksscheinwerfer des #BromptonElectricGLine leuchtet unerwartet gut aus. Nur scheint eine Höhenverstellung gänzlich zu fehlen. Er hat auch ab Werk geblendet, aber meine Fahrradwerkstatt hat's zumindest soweit hinbekommen, dass er auf der Ebene grade nicht mehr blendet.
Out for a late #InTheSaddle in an attempt to salvage something from the evening after mostly failing at community management.
Happened to bump into a mate at the lights near the end of the ride, and had a good chat for a few sequences of green, so got home in a better frame of mind
Today's exciting discovery while working on the American Sign Museum book.
The 'nightrider' was a vehicle used by workers at Stalcup Neon in Kansas City, KS, to drive around iinspecting their signs for bulbs that needed replacing. It had a generator installed in the boot to power its own neon lights, but no air conditioning.
I can't say if this photo will be in the final publication, but the book is available for pre-order here: https://48055.blackbaudhosting.com/48055/ASM-25th-Anniversary-Book.
First trip over the water this year for the #FolkRidingBikes Friday evening social ride.
Started in West Kirby and rode round the coast to Birkenhead.
Clear skies on last night's #JoyRide meant it was a little chilly down on the river but meant we could do a little star- and planet-gazing too.
Got a bit of a workout on the front-loader delivery bike with soundsystem as I chased the electric lead soundsystem bike to stay in range of the transmitter up hills and round corners.
Friday's #FolkRidingBikes group social ride was just what I needed after a hard week; riding through the city playing tunes with a bunch of your mates is joyous!
Sadly I didn't have my camera with me, so didn't get the shot as we rode past the Liver Building where one of the couple of lads we'd collected en route passed me riding along a low wall while pulling a wheelie.
This photo is one my mate John Harris took, as we rode through Sefton Park
Another ride out for the Rode mic soundsystem extender last night. Kept mostly close to the city centre to ward off the cold.
Here's the view over the city centre from Everton Brow.
Solo #NightRider! Because #cycling during the day is not cool enough. But seriously, the weather these days is just better at #night…

We went Christmas light hunting on last night's #FolkRidingBikes group ride.
Chris has added wheel lights alongside his #MyBikesGotLED kit and it's looking sweet!
I need to get that USB bug chased down so I can fit my bike out with the new version.
Friday night's #FolkRidingBikes group ride started at the #PelotonLiv #bikiosk, with the official turning on of the new LED lighting that @jackie_pease and Paul made for it
Thought I was going to miss last night's #JoyRide, but my work in London was done early so I managed to jump a mid-afternoon train and make it back in time.
Trying out the keyframe zoom/pan in Shotcut. Not perfect, but not terrible for a first try.
Getting rather behind on my cycling posts, though not (thankfully) the going out cycling
There's still a load of video sat on my camera waiting to be edited from a fortnight ago, but this is from last Friday's #FolkRidingBikes ride.
Friday evening was the next #StrikeAPose alternative cabaret clubnight, with this edition raising funds for Livv Housing employees striking in Knowsley.
Chris, one of the performers and a #FolkRidingBikes regular, arranged a group ride to get there; along with a mid-ride stop-off in St. James' Gardens for a performance poetry amuse-bouche.
When the nights draw in the lights come out.
The full highlights (almost a mixtape as I left in a few full tracks) from Friday's group social #JoyRide with #PelotonLiv
Starting at the uni, over to Aigburth and down to the river; back along that to the Albert Dock; and then a ride through Liverpool ONE and up Bold St back to the start.
Es ist spät geworden im Büro. Und draussen kalt. Angeblich runter bis 16 Grad. Insofern: Scheiss auf die Mode! Gute Sichtbarkeit und warme Füsse gehen vor!
Had two #InTheSaddle rides last night. Our usual Friday night #JoyRide, ending with pizza and a pint; then suitably refreshed a few of us went aurora-hunting.
We had an excellent night ride out into the Lancashire countryside. 32 miles there and back.
My mate Cedric B. had a better camera than I did, the photo is a long-exposure that he took.
Pausing on the old railway bridge in Norris Green during last night's #FolkRidingBikes ride.
A cold one for our #FolkRidingBikes group social last night, but we're starting to catch the dusk light which was lovely along the river and not too bad through the Georgian Quarter as you can see here.
