Barry Sandland/TIMB – Best view of the Brussels 20km run
The Brussels 20km run has started. You can stand at one location for AGES and still have runners coming by. Over 60,000 would be a fair estimate. The police are Continue reading
©Barry Sandland/TIMB – Pink caps have become anti-Trump iconic images
Did you see the pink hats at the Trump rally? They have become iconic in the protest marches and originated in the Women’s March in January this year – the first major protest against the Trump presidency. It has been called the “Pussyhat Project” – in reference to Continue reading
©Barry Sandland/TIMB – No question where this is aimed
May 24 evening was the anti-Trump march in Brussels. The US president is in the city with NATO and the European Union. It has become a rallying point for protest against the Trump administration. I am using the presence of bikes to get some Continue reading
©Barry Sandland/TIMB – Veins will tell the story about effort.
This is, in all modesty, one of the nicest images of Sean Kelly. And I took it. That moment in time was at the race in Hamilton Ontario in the late eighties. Sean Kelly and a Francesco Moser had been persuaded to Continue reading

Notes: My search for Oakoak. Of course, on the bike. When I think about the Continue reading
©Barry Sandland/TIMB – Street art is best sought on a bike.
“I read about [OakOak] online last night and am looking for the art today, as well.”
Notes: I saw something on Bruzz (website) last night about a small collection of street art by French artists OakOak that was all over my neighbourhood. Made an instant plan to take the bike the next day and go hunting for the eleven pieces. I was not Continue reading
©Barry Sandland/TIMB – Every year, I have to treat myself
My weekend treat. Call me a sucker for targeted beer-bike products. Like last year when I had to have the Malteni beer – packaged in Molteni colours (Molteni was the famed sponsor and currently coveted jersey of Eddy Merckx in his heyday). Saw this Continue reading
©Barry Sandland/TIMB – For another view on cycling and clothing fashion…
“I ride my bike to work all the time and I always dress the same way I would when I get to work. You should not have to change your clothes and dress differently to ride a bike. You should wear the clothes you should feel comfortable in. You should dress so you feel comfortable when Continue reading
