The reflective strips on the black-painted gate at the exit from Parker's Piece show up well in the flash from a camera. Otherwise the gate is almost invisible. Visible or not, it narrows considerable the route on and off Parker's Piece, fo ... [more]
Pothole at the Station Road bus stop, where the surface is constantly breaking up - forcing cyclists out into the traffic.
Martin and Simon at the Wall - the agenda for the WhereCampEU unconference. All those attending and wanting to speak write the talk title on a post-it style note and find a space on the grid.
