Recent Posts on “Do The Right Thing”:- Friday Caption Contest: Made From Lego May 24, 2013Well done to our last competition’s winner, Mikey2Gorgeous, who despite his / her clearly delusional name, was the only entrant. My guess is that no-one wanted to risk winning the second prize.

- Is It Me? May 23, 2013I’m starting to wonder if I’m the bloody problem. It seems that every time I go out on the bloody road, at some point in the journey, some bloody driver is going to bloody well try to kill me. In the last few weeks I’ve had innumerable vehicles pass so close that I can tell what [...]
- Cycling Without Roads May 22, 2013One of the guys I work with, Richard, is one of those people who like to ride their bike in places where there is no road. I know - crazy, but there you go.

- Bike Share - Osijek, Croatia May 13, 2013I go to Osijek in Croatia once a year to teach on a postgraduate programme. It’s a good gig that’s made even better by the hospitality and the places - generally travelling out and back via Zagreb, and Osijek itself has the feeling of a small university city with some great weather. Normally when I’m there [...]
- Tyne Pedestrian & Cycle Tunnel CLOSURE May 10, 2013I met the HR Manager for TT2 Ltd at an event I was presenting earlier this week - TT2 are the operators of the Tyne Tunnels. In discussion, he brought up something that’d quite passed me by - even though I’m a reasonably regular user of the Tyne Pedestrian and Cycle Tunnels. The refurbishment of these, which [...]
