Needless
January 26, 2010
inspired by craftivists and activists around the world it is my turn to have my say. the growing urbanbike movement provides the platform, x-stitch the medium.
I will post each design and its dissemination, along with patterns when they are not free hand. When free hand I will try to make the images detailed enough for them to be replicable with a little imagination. Some of the designs are mine, some are borrowed and tweaked. when I remember the inspiration I will do my best to acknowledge.
hope you enjoy the message
and should you find a little gift attached to your bicycle then remember, the personal is political

Not a bike but 46b
December 10, 2013
So, I realise this isn’t bicycle related but allow me to digress. Sometimes it has to be about the people around us that make a difference in everyday life, on two wheels or not.
This is not a plug, but an Ode to a coffee shop:
46b has never served a cup of coffee that didn’t come with a massive side order of smiley friendliness.
The people who run this place always have a friendly word and a helping hand to anyone who comes in. They are an active member of the community and keen to contribute and support local initiatives and locally sourced produce. Hackney is a better place for their presence – and on top of that they make the best cup of coffee around!
To thank you for being such sweet lovely people 46b, we thought we would make you a little Christmas present…
Know any businesses, community projects our individuals around your area that are making a difference? why not pay them tribute with a little card or token to say thank you (doesn’t have to be elaborate, I just tend to get carried away…)
The world needs more people who care. So let’s show them we are noticing and that it works!
