- Lost Lanes – Jack Thurston is the man behind the guidebooks to Britian’s most beautiful rides.
- Valentine’s Day debate – a light-hearted debate about whether cycling is best done solo or as a couple (you can’t go out on a date so you may as well dial in!)

All events are free to attend. However, you do need to sign up in advance (and there’s an optional £10 donation to help cover costs).
I’m hosting a session on cycling with kids (Friday 19th @ 10am GMT) and will be chairing the Valentine’s Debate this Sunday @ 8pm.
Hopefully see some of you there.
