Ok there isn't really any good reason to give a company like McDonald's free money and yet the QA part of my brain has needed to try this for a long time, so ... I did it.

Using one of the automated tills I ordered a burger with no meat , no ketchup, no pickles, no mustard, no onion and no bread.

It let me put the order through and pay. I got... well nothing. Still at least I satisfied my curiosity if not my appetite.

Ok can I get a quick #WristCheck from everyone? I'm curious about the range of timepieces here.

Take a picture of your watch right now and say what it is. I'll start, Armitron Griffy.

Boosts appreciated.

Here is my quick visual guide to #Strava activity maps.

I love these trams in Luxembourg. Not just because they look awesome but because they cost nothing to ride. Public transport is FREE in Luxembourg.

It should be like this is all cities!!!

I might have found a way to mess with the fedi "algorithm" to ensure maximum likes for my boring #WristCheck pictures.

Them: Sure cycling can be fun but what about when it rains?

Me: I just use my umbrella. 🤷

Awesome! It looks like perfect #unicycling weather.

The first proper snow is always a highlight of winter commutes.

The temperatures in #Oslo are fluctuating above and below freezing recently. Much of the snow has melted and then refrozen as ice.

Time for the Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro tyre with 402 tungsten carbide studs.

Har du sett noen veltepettere sykle rundt i Oslo (som ikke er gul)? Hvis du har, gi meg beskjed. Jeg tror det kan være så mange som fire av oss som sykler på dem. 🤯

🇬🇧 Have you seen any Penny Farthings cycling around in Oslo (that are not yellow). If you have, let me know. I think there might be as many as four of us that cycle on them. 🤯

It is so beautiful up at #Grefsenkollen today that it almost looks like a postcard. :unicycle: 🏞️🌼🌱

Ok I risk the wrath of the Casio Cult but I decided to buy a Skmei "homage" (ok "rip off"). I wanted to do a comparison. I picked the F-94W style one because it is less common in this part of the world and I am not trying to pass this off as the real thing.

Visually it's very close in quality to the Casio and cost just $5.41🇺🇸 but not quite the same. The LCD is noticeably clearer viewed at a range of angles. However, that lighting system is fantastic compared to the tiny green LED. Also 50M WR.

Since the penny farthing is out of action, I decided to take a bike with a bigger wheel at the front, which is half a bike but not a unicycle.

Tried it with the Samco strap as well. Not sure I like that as much but worth a try? 🤷

Yes it took a while but with some #PolyWatch (and a lot of effort) it came out quite well. Those scratches are all gone.

In London and I walked past a shop with this outside. While taking the picture, a woman to the side of me was also looking at it and said to me, "I wonder how you get on these things?"

Me: Funny you should ask…

[After a few minutes of me talking about penny farthings, I did allow her to leave.]

@kev Obviously this would be much cooler on your genuine Casio F-94W but I do think the strap suits the style.

So many train tickets. So, so many train tickets. 🚆

I am booking our family holidays. Norway to the UK and a bunch of travelling around the UK.

This is the third such holiday where the vast majority of travel has been on trains.

I was planning to work from home today but it looks so fun outside I am tempted to #unicycle in.

Very windy, snowy and -17C (1F)

View out at park area to hat is covered in snow and the air is also thick with it

I hate commuting in. It is so awful cruising along in the warm sun eating an ice cream as I coast through Oslo looking at the sites.

Poor me.

Ah… The the joys of Spring! 🌱

On my way to fetch my cargobike following a service. The bike shop we use for these services is about 1 hour away by unicycle (assuming 16km/h or 10mph) but actually it is a nice little route. A lot of it is stuff like this or alongside the river.

Point of view of a rider as he moves along a gravel path with lots of trees and other greenery. The camera turns around slowly and shows a bearded man with a helmet. Then it pans down to show he is riding a unicycle.
