Cycling in Barcelona
2016, June 3 – 06:50
I took some snaps of the beautiful cyclists of Barcelona -2016- May and June.
The experience of cycling here seems a bit of a patchwork, as in many big cities. Some segregated lanes have been built, some two-way -at the side of larger streets, or sometimes along the street centreline. But a typical ride would seem to involve a bit of painted lane very close to moving cars & vans, up & down the footpath for a few hundred metres, a quiet street where you’ll roll slowly to share with pedestrians, and some nice segregated lanes along a multi-lane arterial road. Then you’ll be left to fend for yourself on a stretch of one-way road, sharing with buses and trucks.

I was very lucky to be sent to VéloCity Global conference in February 2016 by my colleagues at Cycling Action Network in New Zealand, and Cyclist.ie in Ireland.
Report from VéloCity 2016 for Cyclist.ie
2016, March 25 – 22:10
Every second year there’s a global get-together for all those interested in the promotion of cycling. Transportation experts, mayors, town councillors, consultants for ‘liveable cities’, documentary film-makers -and of course cycling advocates- attend the Vélo-city Global Conference.
The European Cycling Federation organises the event, and this year it was held in Taipei, Taiwan. VéloCity Global alternates with the European-focussed VéloCity Conference. Next year this event will be in Nijmegen, Holland – the home of cycling for entirely different reasons, and the next VéloCity Global will be in Rio de Janeiro. read more

Cars getting angrier?
2016, March 16 – 20:44
I wonder what’s upsetting them? Pricey oil? Peak car? Maybe all those cycle lanes… NO! I have it. 30 km/h zones. My mash-up of front grille designs of Ford family cars, 1950’s to 2010’s-

Jottings on cycling in the rain

Written for Bicycle Nelson Bays.
Don’t put your bike away when the clouds are grey! For the cost of a couple of tanks of petrol, you can keep cycling comfortably through the seasons. Here are some thoughts on utility biking in the rain- read more
Nelson’s Retro Ride
2015, May 20 – 13:01
The Get Moving Retro Fun Ride has been a pretty awesome day…
Excellent costumes and amazing bikes show the creativity and passion for cycling that abound in Nelson.
We had just under 150 registered entrants, and a few unofficial ones… a good result for the postponement/rain date, which clashed with Mother’s Day and a 5km fun run.
The best thing to see was the wide spread of ages – barely one to nearly ninety. And that went for the bikes too! It’s clear that Nelsonians of all ages can head out on a bike for trips as long as 10km and come back smiling. The demonstration -that for several decades bikes were used as daily transport- is a good one for our community. read more
