    eek Wellington riders urged to use alternative transport today (15 May)

    It's apparently gonna be a little windy out there today!

    Ride safe people - I'd already decided to cadge a ride in a car today.
    My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

    Can second this. Just rode home from work. Extremely windy in places. Blown into the other lanes more than once.
    If your looking at Bike Comms, have a read of this review..

    Thats unfortunate, its really still and blue up here, heaps of sun at the moment, I think the CB is hungry for a run today.

    Normal Wellington wind is ok. Today is especially dangerous. We have closed access to floors of the building (under construction) due to the extreme hazard posed by the wind. Take care folks.
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    Pah! Just a gentle zephyr this morning -- it only impacted halfway up the powerpole as it blew past. Its driver walked away unscathed.

    I took public transport. I'm not having the drama of my bike blowing over again thanks.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Rode in early - about 7am. Ngauranga interchange had a few cross winds and customhouse quay near the railway station and shell station (usual suspects).

    Park your bike next to a building if you can and wear them crash bungs.

    Its windy and bucketing down here in the rapa, so not a good time to come over Laxi, a few reports of power poles down as well.
