Live talk events are back! Monday Jan 15 - I'll be talking about camouflage and bike kit
We're sold a shed-load of clothing that's supposed to enhance our conspicuity. But does it? What would work best? The easiest way to find out is to start by looking at what does the opposite - what kind of colours and patterns act as camouflage!
That’s the topic of my latest LIVE TALK EVENT which is scheduled for next Monday, 15 January, at 8pm - ‘SOBS in-depth; understanding how camouflage works and the implications for clothing’. Here's the link to FIND OUT MORE - https://ko-fi.com/post/JANUARYS-ONLINE-TALK-EVENT--bookings-NOW-OPEN-E1E2SS569
And don’t forget - if you can’t make it live, you can always watch on catch-up later!

You can also watch on catch-up the earlier presentations this winter:
DECEMBER - Workload; how the brain processes limited information but pretends to give us the full picture of our environment. It'll be a good antidote to Xmas shopping. CATCH-UP HERE - https://ko-fi.com/s/a42d6984f9
NOVEMBER - Science Of Being Seen; full presentation CATCH-UP HERE - https://ko-fi.com/s/1c5766dfaf
(Each talk costs £6. Why do I charge for these talks? To help support my continuing UNFUNDED research into SMIDSYs)
In today’s show: New Year's Wishes from me... the first part of my retrospective look at the biking stories that hit the news in 2023 - from July to December!
Make a brew, grab a biscuit and pull up a chair ready to tune in to keep up with the latest motorcycle news and sometimes controversial views, plus in-depth items on biking generally. Join me, Kevin Williams, twice a week on Wednesday and Sunday at 11am for 30 minutes of topical news, controversial views and better biking tips!

GOT A QUESTION OF YOUR OWN? Let me know and I’ll try to answer it. If you have an awkward question, it’s science that usually has the answer.

Most of my ON-ROAD training is now on hold to next spring! But I still run TWO-HOUR SESSIONS on nice days to run out and back over a challenging route out of NW London from the North Circular road at Brent Cross - drop me a line if you’re interested.
