May the bumps on your road be smooth and your journey sweet.
Mercery Lane, Canterbury.

When the UCI Cycling World Championships came to Stockbridge in 2023. The world’s top cyclists rattled over the granite sets through Edinburgh. #cobbles

A stone tramway set into a cobbled lane leading up to a bricked-up cart entrance of a former industrial building in the Finnieston area of Glasgow. To be found on Lancefield Street, this area was once home to a wide range of industrial businesses, including the Finnieston Steamship Works, the Lancefield Brass Foundry, Lancefield Galvenising Works, and the wonderfully named Aerated Water Manufactory.

What lies beneath: Old cobbles and part of a stone tramway peeking through the thin layer of worn out modern tarmac which covers them on Lancefield Street in the Anderston area of Glasgow.

#GoodMorning #Gravel! First, #KidsOnBikes, then the usual loop with a twist - I’ve went through the local #ParisRoubaix segment, the nastiest #cobbles you can get in #Poznan! #Cycling #Bicycle #Bici #Bicicleta #Ciclismo #Velo #Fahrrad #Rower #Wahoo #Wahooligan #Velominati #LifeBehindBars #DadOnBike #Warta #Wartostrada #LookMomNoHands #Workout #SRAM #AXS #Eagle #Fizik #ASMR #BikeToot #BikeTooter @cycling @rower

Cobbled streets, like Regent Moray Street in the West End of Glasgow, are nice, but it's important the stone setts are replace properly after any work is carried out on utilities beneath them, rather than just randomly chucking them back into a poorly filled hole as seems have been the case here!

Tarmac laid over granite cobblestones in the east end of Glasgow. I'm frequently surprised by how often you can see the original cobbles peeking through where the modern surface has become worn out, but you rarely see potholes in them!

It begins!

Bring on the cobbles with Omloop Het Niuewsblad and Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne this weekend.

Not quite a snicket.

I'm not a great lover of using my phone for photography, but I recently found out that I can use the LR app as a camera - I'll try again...
