    Bluddy werk from home....grumble, grumble
    spose that means I get to save petrol everyday
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I'll be riding my bike if it's going by then or I'll be taking the man powered bike.
    Life is difficult because it is non-linear.

    So I've got less than 2 weeks to get a bike to avoid being called a wimp by Ixion...

    I walked to work today, took me an hour - normally takes 40 minutes but I'm so out of shape after riding the buses lately.

    Would love to ride to work - every day.
    Motorbike Camping for the win!

    I ride just shy of 70km a day, commuting to work through Auckland traffic. I also use the bike 99% of the time I am going somewhere without the family, rain hail or shine.

    I seem to remember a ride to work day in Auckland for human-powered bikes a few months back. They all met in Aotea Square for tea and buns at 08:00 then toddled off to work.
    Oh look, Google found it:

    Why don't they do something like this for real bikes?
    Remember to never split an infinitive. The passive voice should never be used. Do not put statements in the negative form. Proofread carefully to see if you words out. And don't start a sentence with a conjugation. (William Safire)

    Good idea that man, have an orang-utan. Could we organise a grand KB meetup somewhere (maybe two or three might be needed in different compass points? ) Could get some good press coverage out of it, which all helps public awareness of bikers.

    Any thoughts on this suggestion - obvious date would be the 20th ?

    Good chance also to meet other people .

    Thoughts ? Comment? Interest ? Maybe an AFTER WORK meetup instead ? (Ride home from work day ?)
