    Where did you go today/this weekend?

    Hi guys,

    Just curious where all the bikers have been or going to this weekend. Just did a morning trip from AKLD to Warkworth (and back) to try the new toll road and saw heaps of fellow bikers out in both directions. Meet a nice couple up in a Warkworth cafe too.

    Unfortunately we couldn't do a longer trip as expecting visitors but hope everyone got out in the nice weather and let her rip.

    I got up early and when for a run to Akaroa then back to Little River for a long black (coffee ya perverts!) and a piece of ginger slice.

    I timed it well as I missed the road train of cars and cars towing boats over the hill

    I did notice 2 speed camera vans parked up on the highway. I have to say I wonder about the point of this - a long weekend, heaps of traffic going that way and they put 2 speed cameras up. Mufti ones too (vans). If the point is to slow people down a marked police car in plain sight works extremely well. Most people getting a speed camera ticket will not know until it arrives in the post.

    vtec and I had an excellent pushbike cruise yesterday which took in the Movenpick shop in Mission Bay. It's Always Better With Icecream (tm).

    And I got the learn. There's a lot to be said for working as a bicycle courier; those guys are strong motherfuckers.

    Stayed the fuck well-away from the VERY heavy presence of bacon on the roads out west (1@bike, 5@cars, 1@ MSV on the motorway).
    So I went to the Auckland war memorial museum. Haven't been there in years... OK "decades"...
    Air conditioned as well.

    In that I used to know a few who were part of CourierDJs and various squats in East London, yes. Mad bunch of dudes they were too, with their fixed-gear bikes and tales of speeding (in both senses of the word) through the City.

    Probably not the experience you were alluding to though :P

    Wasn't alluding to anything in particular, just wondering how you knew of bicycle courier matters.
