       Quick solo trip out to the post office with just an envelope = rare chance for #longboarding instead of #cycling. Something I really miss since we moved to #Cheltenham - even though the distances are generally less than Derby, the combination of fewer trips without kids/cargo and generally more rubbishy surfaces tends to lead to &quot;just take a bike&quot;.

       Got me thinking...If you recalibrate what I just said from &quot;physically fit dude who hates cars and likes human-powered wheely pursuits&quot; to &quot;typical person&quot; you arrive at:&quot;I&#39;d love to cycle but &lt;reasons&gt; so I end up taking the car&quot;.

       Now we know there is a problem with over-representation of fit, sport-enthusiast, dudely types in #ActiveTravel campaigning and local authority decision-making.We also know you can actually get a fair amount of cycling under pretty crappy non-inclusive conditions, for various reasons:- said dudely types also exist in wider society- cycles are (for many people) pretty capable over bad surfaces.- patchy networks of safe infrastructure can hit the &quot;tolerable&quot; hurdle for many peopleetc.

       Led me to wonder if things like skateboarding/rollerskating/blading make a much better indicator species for #inclusive #urbanism than cycling and/or if we need some sort of resurgence that gets all the dudely types hooked on those things.Because all the stuff - wonky slabs, missing or badly installed drop kerbs, rough tarmac, steps, steep ramps, etc - which are horrible for eg wheelchair or handcycle users suddenly become an issue.As does &quot;just hop on the road past this bit&quot;.

       Minor acts of tech rebellion:Stealth deploying #Deltachat to friends via our kids.&quot;Yeah we&#39;ve started using this recently because it&#39;s safe and private enough that I&#39;m comfortable with the kids having their own profiles on their own devices&quot;&quot;Do you want to set it up on your phone and pair with me so you can see how it works?&quot;&lt;under my breath&gt;&quot;Yeah btw this is how I&#39;m going to message you from now on instead of WhatsApp&quot;
