NVA SPEED OF LIGHT
A couple of months ago, on a freezing March evening, I checked out NVA’s human-powered interactive light show Speed of Light when it came to Salford Quays. I risked hypothermia, frostbite, as well as nearly smashing my camera when an overzealous viewer almost knocked over my tripod. I was able to get a few photos to justify my time in the cold, including a bit of bike porn whilst I was waiting for the runners.

CARGO BIKE
I often carry a fair bit on my back when cycling, but I’ve got nothing on this guy. And he’ll probably have extra cushioning if (when) he crashes.

CYCLING IN THE PEAK DISTRICT
I swapped my fixed gear for a road bike last weekend and took to the hills of the Derbyshire Peak District, with a brief foray into Staffordshire. I’m glad to say that my legs held up ok against two more experienced road cyclists, but my ancient aluminium Cannondale R400 was lacking in the higher gears that the full-carbon Boardman/Felt bikes of my two friends.
We stayed at Rivendale Caravan Park, near Ashbourne, in a camping pod. It’s a revelation; camping without the fuss of a tent, a heated, well insulated, wooden hut with plug sockets and lights. And at £50 per night for the pod, splitting it three ways meant it was very reasonable accommodation.
We didn’t put huge miles on the clock, partly due to the often and intense climbs we undertook, 30 miles here was like 100 miles on the flat.
And now I want need a road bike.
AMAR STEWART
If you pass by Upper Playground’s store off Carnaby Street of a daytime, you might catch a glimpse of Amar Stewart - that’s when he’s wearing his fashion/retail hat - as you can see in the above photo, he’s a man of many talents. He has recently put down the spraycans and picked up the oils - check his blog for some photos of recent commissions he’s created!

MONDAY MORNING HOT GIRL’S BOTTOM PHOTO
Because it’s probably snowing, it’s definitely freezing cold, it feels like it’s been a long winter and no signs of spring yet…
STAY STRONG PEOPLE!
