Spotted this gem. #Triumph
A late seventies Triumph Mark 2 sedan in a carpark. Its classic light tan colour is gleaming in the sun. This car looks to be in excellent condition.

Inbox rapidly filling up with companies advising latest price increases. Fuck you very much. Time to shop around.

First day of Winter. It was a great day to get out on the bike. Lots of people doing the same (or walking). Video at 4x speed.

This clip shows a ride through Kulim Park in Tauranga. 1/2 Some recent improvements include removing car parking from the harbour frontage, and extending a shared path through the park. It’s more people friendly now, and very popular. #cycling #placemaking #urbanism

Over the summer I have revisited some of the cycle paths in Tauranga. This one is the Waikareao Estuary, with the video showing some snippets from a ride around the western side. There are lots of connections into the surrounding suburbs, and the path is well used.

Checked out the Point Chev to Westmere cycling improvements, as is the current must do activity. A much more relaxing ride along Meola Rd with the path being separated from vehicles.

Back in the day someone thought it was a good idea to plant bamboo on the boundary. It was not a good idea!

Ah Paris, the land of countless trains, buses, and especially trams that whisk passengers around this most beautiful city, connecting to all manner transit hubs. Let's dive deep into the Ile-de-France tram network! youtu.be/oj1nglkBjmM

Haven't used the bike enough lately, and some sun yesterday was as good a reason as any. And it wouldn't be Auckland without some orange cones, including someones artistic re-arrangement.
