There's been a collapse in the number of kids riding their bikes to school over the last 50 years, and it's harming our children in so many ways. But there are some things we can do to change it.

Contest! I'll make a draw for that Two Wheel Gear Solo Market Pannier at the end of October, 2025. All Shifter members will be entered. https://twowheelgear.com/products/solo-market-pannier?srsltid=AfmBOorCfE0ppAl35vcLgyOtwTW8sRe1Ud-hJycwrEOXPpMAJ2u5S5Fd

There are two ways to become a member:

A huge thanks to my sponsor, Priority Bikes. I’ve been riding Priority for a number of years, and I love their low-maintenance, belt-drive design, and they offer good quality at a good price. They signed on as a sponsor for my YouTube channel several years after I started riding them.

My daily summertime bike is the zippy and fun Priority Eight: https://alnk.to/1XWoxFO

With its fenders, hub dynamo lights and durable if not exactly speedy Enviolo internal hub gearing system, I’ve happily ridden the Priority Continuum Onyx through many Canadian winters: https://alnk.to/gKS5Jlw

My book Frostbike: The Joy, Pain and Numbness of Winter Cycling: https://amzn.to/42EBzO6

Here is some of the gear I’m currently using. Some of these are affiliate links.

Bike Lights: I love dynamo lights that are built into a bike and powered by your pedalling or the wheel’s movement, but if you need aftermarket lights, Lumos offers a number of great options. Their Firefly lights are simple and bright: https://collabs.shop/3uodbz

Helmet: If I’m riding for sports, such as mountain biking or road bike, I like Lumos helmets because they are comfortable and well-built, and you can also easily attach lights to stay as visible as possible on roads: https://collabs.shop/prkigy

Bell: I love the sound and quality of the Japanese-made Crane Bells: https://www.cranebellusa.com/

Saddle: Yes, they can be pricey, but I’ve joined the ranks of people who think the extra cost for the quality of a Brooks Saddle is worth it, in both durability and comfort: https://www.brooksengland.com/

Panniers: My everyday workhorse pannier is Two Wheel Gear’s Pannier Backpack Convertible 2.0: https://twowheelgear.com/collections/pannier-backpacks?srsltid=AfmBOop6XPOZUjmjf4-Nr1MVwSivDO7igNWhL6Y3PzWOzkqtraTAS-D5

Pedals: I’ve not experienced high-performance pedals adding much extra value to my daily riding experience, but these light-up pedals from Redshift are bright, keep me visible at night and grab lots of attention: https://redshiftsports.com?aff=40

Phone mount: I use Peak Design’s mobile system, including the Universal Bar Mount on my handlebars every day, which I also bring it with me when I travel for bike rentals and bike-share bicycles: https://peak-design.pxf.io/c/5749368/1664050/18669

Buff: Keeps your face, neck and head warm in the winter, and keeps the sun off in the summer: https://peak-design.pxf.io/c/5749368/1664050/18669

Sunglasses: If you’re going to wear sunglasses, why not use a pair that has built-in mirrors so you can see behind you while you ride?: https://collabs.shop/f9hvof

KNIT’S ISLAND is a documentary film entirely shot in various online video games.

Through a series of portraits, the film reveals the daily lives of many players in the virtual world.

The film then engages in an investigation in order to understand the extent to which reality in the virtual world invites itself and then confronts a complex administrative social organization.

The authors ultimately decide to organize an event within the game, in which they propose to a multitude of players to participate in the construction of an architecture, a kind of theatre, in which they could express themselves on a stage, in front of an audience.

You might not even like rsync. Yeah it's old. Yeah it's slow. But if you're working with Linux you're going to need to know it.

In this video I walk through my favorite everyday flags for rsync.

Support the channel:

Here's a companion blog post, where I cover a bit more detail: https://vkc.sh/everyday-rsync

Also, @BreadOnPenguins made an awesome rsync video and you should check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eifQI5uD6VQ

Lastly, I left out all of the ssh setup stuff because I made a video about that and the blog post goes into a smidge more detail. If you want to see a video covering the basics of using SSH, I made one a few years ago and it's still pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FKsdbjzBcc

Pacemakers, insulin pumps and autonomous gadgets now chat over 5G, but every heartbeat they broadcast is an open invitation to hackers. The warning is clear: when code meets flesh, failures aren’t blue screens—they’re funerals. Regulators finally demand cybersecurity, yet current standards ignore digital evidence. Without immutable, cryptographically signed logs, exploited devices can erase their own fingerprints, leaving victims defenceless. Developers must bake in blockchain‑backed audit trails, tamper‑proof clocks and sensor‑decision‑command logging that survives courtroom scrutiny and legal recourse. Build it lean so life‑saving timing isn’t sacrificed. Log everything, lock it down, or risk turning lifesaving tech into lethal weapons for humans.

This talk is from ENUSEC's Le Tour Du Hack 2025, A student run cyber-security conference (and CTF) based at Edinburgh Napier University. A massive thank you to this years sponsors: Quorum Cyber, Verkada, Bugcrowd, Zerodays CTF, and of course ENU's School of Computing Engineering, and the Built Environment.

This presentation will look to the major disruptors in the world of cybersecurity, including for the integration of PQC and in the usage of quantum computers, along with outlining the risks around the rise of GenAI

Uh yeah Ox Tail what more do I need to say.

A close up and slowed down clip of a driver who was on his phone in his truck when the traffic at an intersection began to move. The driver has his phone in his lap and is using it with what looks like both hands as he moves forward. As he goes through the intersection he reaches up to grab the steering wheel
