today is world no tobacco day, a fantastic idea that should be supported. I have been a social smoker for a number of years now, but today I pledge to quit. really weird, I have had it in my mind for around a week that tuesday (today) should be the day I stop smoking. I have even posted my pledge on facebook!
it was a weekend of cycling this weekend, starting with a wonderful critical mass ride on friday night. great to hang out with old bikefun friends
my friend erin is heading overseas in a couple of weeks. good luck overseas erin, its been great hanging out with you
just passed this trail safety notice near the bike trail on a ride to williamstown. it was near scienceworks so I think its hobsons bay council
I like the second point from the bottom “no entry after dark” why would a council advise people not to use their cycling infrastructure during certain hours? most councils seem to be seriously promoting their bike paths. could they wash themselves of any responsibility if someone had an accident at night by simply putting a sign like this up?
my new favourite bar in melbourne. the menu says it all
just bumped into this amazing bike shop on ebay. they sell american bikes from the 1950’s. drool
fantastic ride last night, my fav full moon ride for a long time (I did get bogged at the last one though…) great company, good speed and enough slidey sections to make things interesting (watching nik pilot his gazelle as it slid from one side of the track to the other was really something) thanks to nik/ned for organising
I arrived back in melbourne last night after spending a week in sydney. it was wonderful catching up with old friends from my time in sydney as well as cousins. the highlight of my trip would have to be spending time with my cousin wayne on the central coast. I have never really met him, but my mum always used to speak very highly of him. really nice guy, we got along well together. its a consolation of my mothers passing to spend time with all the people that knew her well that I have never spent time with
