This #selfie is proof that we were there rather than a decent photo of the #FolkRidingBikes or the glorious avenue of cherry blossom in Liverpool Botanic Gardens.
Glad that I thought it was worth a chance to take last night's ride through there.
-
As seems to be becoming tradition, the #FolkRidingBikes had a Good Friday ride round the Wirral coast to West Kirby for fish and chips.
It looks nice in the photo but there was an ridiculous headwind all the way. However, that made the night ride back a dream
-
And while I'm catching up on posting photos, on Friday the #FolkRidingBikes had a trip over the water to the Wirral.
The ferry had just been taken out of service with engine trouble, but the captain generously gave us a lift for free as they limped back to Seacombe.
-
Surprisingly cold this evening, but dry while we were riding
-
Managed to dodge most of the head winds on last night's #FolkRidingBikes ride.
Was lovely to have @pete join us, and not just because he lent me an inner-tube when I picked up a puncture 🤣
-
It was a cold one last night, but I'm glad Vinny still suggested a #FolkRidingBikes ride.
The ride itself was dry, though the ride home after a stop off at the Azvex brewery for a pint and some food was through light snow
-
...and the entire street of Peasefield Road in Dovecot had been decorated by the residents.

This one is a 360 video (that for some reason starts pointing straight at me, so you might want to drag it round for a better viewpoint 🤣)

On Friday the #FolkRidingBikes went for what's fast becoming our traditional Christmas lights tour.
The highlights were a house in Toxteth (that I didn't get a picture of); this one just near the end of the M62 and the Rocket...
-
This week saw the switch to tights and winter gloves. Cold but fun #FolkRidingBikes last night.

Okay, found something to try out for one of our future #FolkRidingBikes group rides 🚲 📣 🎶

(kids, this is why you should host your own website. I found this after digging out a URL from a project I'd heard about 15 or more years ago and then seeing what they were up to now 😀)
/cc @ultrazool - might make a basis for a joint synced playlist option too
-
@IoanSaid just our standard Friday night Liverpool group social ride 😀
Okay, this one is a little bit out of the ordinary as we had the trike out - and only the second time we've done classical music. At the larger end of the turnout, but we'll often get 20- or 30-odd out on a ride.
There are plenty of photos on my feed for the #FolkRidingBikes and #JoyRide rides, and a fair few videos over the years on my YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@adrianmcewen4580

We were fortunate with a break in the rain that lasted for all of Friday's #FolkRidingBikes ride.
Rode through Princes, Sefton and Otterspool parks down to the river. It was very blowy down there, hence this terrible video snippet as I rode one-handed battling the wind 🤣
-
The #FolkRidingBikes had a run into south Liverpool last night to Camp Hill, to take in the views before the evenings get too short.
-
Last night the #FolkRidingBikes went to the beach. As Formby is a bit further than our usual Friday night rides, we collected people at a couple of stations en route.
Alicja led the route. Vinny brought the tunes. Others brought refreshments and snacks. James brought a camping stove and bacon butty ingredients!
Some went for a swim. Some of us just hung out and minded the bikes.
-
Over the water for last night's #FolkRidingBikes ride. Ferry to Seacombe, rode up the river through parks and industrial estates to the Tap at Eastham Ferry (a real bikers pub, but the sort with engines, they were mostly amused by a pack of acoustic bikes turning up); then back to Birkenhead for the train under the river and home.
-
We often get folk joining in when they encounter us on our #FolkRidingBikes group social rides, but Friday's was the first on a penny farthing!!!
-
Took advantage of the bank holiday for an earlier #FolkRidingBikes ride, and we got a bit further afield too.
Rode up to the top of Clieve Hill just outside Aughton and back, via a brief stop in a 705 year old pub.

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.
-
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 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.

Some video from Friday's #FolkRidingBikes ride to Bidston Observatory.
Come for the carefree vision of @defnetmedia's shirt flapping in the breeze; stay for the wheelie escort from a local scally we passed on our way home 😀

Jumped on the ferry over to Seacombe last night, to ride round to West Kirby for the start of our #FolkRidingBikes group ride.
Had forgotten that Queen Mary 2 was visiting, until I got down to the Pier Head.

Thankfully there was plenty of better footage to go into this #RideToTheSun 2024 compilation video.
11 hours, and 100 miles, condensed to 18 minutes, featuring lots of cyclists, a piper, a cycle rave, Edinburgh and the sunrise over the Firth of Forth

Took a trip out through West Derby and Croxteth Park to Huyton via Stockbridge Village last night.
Far leafier than the locals would expect from a ride through "Cannibal Farm" (c.f. Cantril Farm, which got such a bad name they renamed it Stockbridge Village) and "Two dogs" (-fighting, rhyming slang for Huyton)

Had an excellent #FolkRidingBikes ride from Chester to Birkenhead yesterday.
Wet to begin with (though luckily the hailstorm was just when we arrived at the station and had abated before we set off) but dry most of the way and sunny when we arrived at Futureyard for their Wax+Gears gig
-
Had a change from the usual post-ride pizza on last night's #FolkRidingBikes social ride.

Took in the Allerton Oak (2019 English tree of the year, it's about 1000 years old) on Friday evening's #FolkRidingBikes group ride round South Liverpool
-
First #FolkRidingBikes group ride last night. We went for a ride along past the Pier Head - the Liver Building and the Albert Dock - and then South along the river to Otterspool, then back through Sefton and Prince's Parts.
Second ride with a recumbent in our midst.

Merry Christmas! On Saturday we had a #FolkRidingBikes outing to tour round some of the community Christmas lights shows in the city.

Our #FolkRidingBikes group #InTheSaddle ride from Chester to Birkenhead ended up being a little damp 🤣
Lovely route though, and still excellent fun. Chippy stop at Parkgate and the bike-powered gig at #FutureYard was great.
(I accidentally left the GoPro recording, so drained the battery quite early on) here's some video from it:

Today's #FolkRidingBikes adventure involves the train to Chester, then a ride back round the Wirral coast to Birkenhead in time to catch the Wax + Gears pedal-powered gig at Futureyard.
