    What blue LED's? I dont see no blue LED's then of course they are set up to turn off with the bike ignition

    Any how I dont recall ever seeing that installation (I use that word as that is what they call art right, me I call it a oddity but...), I ended up using a wee bit of detective work to locate it.

    I will try and get the tag today and post it later tonight when I get home from work.
    Its not the destination that is important its the journey.

    The Artist is Ian Lamont. I found it due to the Mazda parts dealer in the background. Dont any KB'rs drive mazdas ??

    Cheers man, will look him up just out of curiosity.
    I cropped and blurred the Mazda parts shop logo a bit as I was worried it might be a give away.

    Just a good reason for keeping one up the sleeve ready to go.
    Rode the pushy to Lyttelton and back today noting potential tags and making use of the good weather.

    That water feature might actually be a pretty retention system i.e. a pond for high rainfall/flooding events.

    Not enough ... that gave away location. The colour scheme and a good photoshop program revealed all.... tee hee ...

    There were a fair few MCs on the road, especially evans pass. There were also a fair few road cycles there too.
    I should be easy to spot, green and black MTB, white helmet and the bag on the carrier, GPS on the handlebar.
    I note most cycles don't have a carrier, let alone the bag.
    I actually went up Rapaki track along the summit to the Bridle Path which I used to drop in to Lyttelton. Stopped in on friends then Evans Pass and once at Ferry Rd/Tunnel Rd I took to tracks and back roads again.
    Loved it, took about 1hour 20 minutes to Lyttelton and same to get home. That must be fairly slow as I was over taken by most other cycles I saw.

    As I understand it that is a listed building, mind you half of Lyttelton is that way. Well done Carl.

    Righto I'm back.
    Here's the answer to life, the universe and everything (so I like the HHGTTG), it's Tag #42.

    There's still plenty of the day left and the weather's not as bad as expected.
    This is outside on an open limit road.
    On ya bikes.
