Oh no @Dale that’s terrible news, hope you heal up soon

Some sections were unrideable due to flooding last time I was there. November 10 2023

Those wild chickens (my pet name for them) are normally passive until they have a brood to protect. Then it’s a case of give them space or feel the wrath of a head attack.

Before inserting new battery, wait 30 seconds to allow module to fully discharge.

I used to have one of these "Strapabiketome" carriers and used a laptop security cable attached to the carrier and into the boot. Was only a deterrent for smash and grabs but also made me feel happier leaving my car and bike carrier at the trails. Edit: Oh and cut up some old inner tubes to put on the contact points of the carrier, your cars paint will thank you 🙂

You'll have to be more specific. 🤪

Gear was semi dry on departure and completely dry at end of ride. There’s something creepy about putting a damp bib on though 😳

Sitting in office surrounded by damp cycling gear, weather app fooled me too.

re Foreshore: At the very least a sign warning cyclists that this is a high crime area, so that the out of towners are made aware

Don't just grab a pair of jeans from your cupboard at home and assume they are yours. Had an unexpected surprise after this mornings commute to work when I realised that my teenage sons jeans had somehow found their way into my cupboard. Middle aged man waddling round the office in jeans so tight the zip won't even close. Its a day for letting your shirt hang out 😁

Either move the informal dwellers away from the existing cycle lane OR reroute the cycle lane through a safer area.

I may have been responsible for this. I raised a defect with CoCT to fix a leaking pipe next to the cycle lane as it was starting to push the tarmac up. It only took then a week to sort it out and resurface. Minor inconvenience for some repair work.
