Philosophy of the Saddle - Thoughts on life and our current world from the seat of a bicycle (Sunday, May 10, 2026)

Sun, 10 May 2026 15:00:00 GMT

NoVES member, Melissa Sinclair, a bike riding, bike packing enthusiast shares with you all a YouTuber, Jethro Jessop, who looks at our world through poetry and philosophy while on bike rides in Sweden.

This is about nature, human nature, and the world we live in economically and politically currently through the eyes of a Brit living in Norway. It helps show how connected we all are to the earth and to each other in every way.

Melissa will share a couple of Jethro's videos and we'll discuss his Philosopy of the saddle. If the reception is well-received, this topic can become a summer series. No bike riding experience needed to fully enjoy this platform.
