    You could fit a cheap bike computer to the back where she can see it, and maybe even add a bell she can ring.

    Arm signals

    For use when direction indicator signals are not used, or when necessary to reinforce direction indicator signals and stop lights. Also for use by pedal cyclists and those in charge of horses.

    That’s what I recall. It comes with instructions which are pretty good. You need to get it stuck on all around (adhesive is only around the perimeter) or some of the liquid might drip out. I think I managed to keep them on for about five days.

    They don’t recommend putting antibiotic cream under, as any grease that gets to where the sticky will be will stop it from adhering properly.

    I don’t know if you can get them in the UK, but 3M Tegaderm come in very large sizes and work great. You just clean the wound well, carefully apply one, and leave it on for a week or so. Much less pain and scarring.

    My wife’s electric car, a first generation Leaf, would qualify. And of course my MINI easily would.

    Even my previous car, a 2006 Forester, would be okay.

    I’m planning a LEJOG next year, but unfortunately the sensible routes don’t go through Wales. I will try to work in a visit before I get to my start at Land’s End.

    Why are people waiting at a bus stop “pedestrians”? Were they walking around to stay warm?

    Fowey town centre blocked after lorry gets stuck between buildings

    Not again…

    https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/fowey-town-centre-blocked-after-8860278

    “The lorry became stuck in Fowey around 12:40pm and has baffled onlookers ever since.”

    Who would be baffled? The lorry is too wide, and it’s stuck. It’s obvious that it didn’t teleport there or fall from the sky.

    If it was on the roof of a building, or upside-down, that might be baffling.

    Half a mile is about 800m, which can be walked in well under 15minutes. #carbound

    Well, well under. I did 24 minute miles last weekend hiking on steep off-road paths carrying a 35 pound pack. Earlier in the day, 16:33 per mile with no pack. On flat ground, 800 m is probably seven minutes.

    Here’s 18 minute miles, up a decent hill, with my less fit brother.

    True for a lot of areas, but this is in an early 1900s neighbourhood / first ring suburb, so most of it does have pavements.
