You Can CycleChic

It is now four months that I am cycling to anywhere I am bound to go to.

 Apart from the savings accrued from not owning a car, I also avoid the heartache of waiting for the bus. Finally, I have great pleasure in eating sweet pies and cakes knowing that they are the fuel powering the relationship between my legs and the sleek vehicle. 

 To get a bike, there are numerous schemes available (Wheel To Work). There are also bikes on offer on Gumtree, Freecycle and Freegle. Finally, there are most probably in your friends’, family’ and/or own’ shed, a bicycle awaiting to be used. I personally borrowed a bike from my local voluntary group, so it is worth asking around. If you are not confident in cycling on the road, all I can advise is to find out online if there are some free cycling trainings for adults in your area and learn more about all the gorgeous off-road cycle paths.

 Regarding style, ladies, on your gorgeous bike, you do not have to put some safety nets on your style just because you are riding, so check the following:

How can we resist the New Cramble in Africa? By Stopping the corporate takeover of african food

A landmark  G8  initiative ' The New Alliance for Food Security' to boost agriculture and relieve poverty has been damned as a new form of colonialism after African governments agreed to change seed, land and tax laws to favour private investors over small farmers. The alliance is being paid with hundred's of millions of pounds of our taxpayers'money to help the corporate like Unilever, Monsanto and Diageo to take over African land, seeds and agriculture. It is quite shocking to hear that this is the way the UK is spending Aid budget rather than supporting the African farmers who produce 70% of the countries food. Yesterday evening at the Christchurch on Clarendon Park Road in Leicester, I had the chance to assist to an event organised by the World Development Movement where I learnt more about this particular issue. Two speakers were present and below is a summary of the elements they cover. 1) Christine Haigh, Food Policy Officer from World Development...

Is the world becoming even more paranoid?

I never quite thought that the negative thoughts going through my mind were signs of paranoia. After reading Paranoia - the 21st century fear by Daniel Freeman and Jason Freeman , it is clear, I am paranoid like everybody else. I don't believe people want to intentionally harm me but I do recognise being sometimes suspicious. I bring together a set of safety behaviours to get away from any uncomfortable social situations. Unfortunately, the plan sometimes does not work and what I feared all along just become reality. In the book, the questions asked are as follow: is paranoia a modern phenomenon or has it always been with us? what causes it? and what can we do about it Media has the powerful role of bringing drama into our lives, security camera are decorating our streets and social media makes virtual reality even more believable. We cannot stop wondering whether paranoia is becoming a more acute modern phenomenon. It has nevertheless always been with us all along and ca...
