Yes, dealing with #carbrain is so exhausting 😮‍💨 But that's countered by the joy of leading rides through our local neighbourhood; last weekend's Bike Disco ride was our most popular ever with more than 70 attendees 🚲🪩😀

Yes, it's true! And the kicker is that 18,000km of riding over 4 years has saved $4k on petrol costs alone💰😀 #cargobikes #dogsonbikes #activemodes #petrolbuster #climateaction

I reckon this InterCity April Fool is a bloody great idea! 🧐The 1st bicycles were panned + banned in many places, but today they're a cheap & "green" travel option, a high-profile sport & every kid's rite of passage - graduating from training wheels to 2wheels 🚲🌏💚 www.facebook.com/share/p/1FhC...

These venues still exist in Auckland; Steve Abel played support to Jolie Holland at Pitt Street Methodist Church last Friday. I've recently seen younger musicians at the Guide Hall, Mt Eden & smaller shop-spaces MoveSpace & NiceGoblins in Dominion Rd + am going soon to Kahui St Davids, Uptown.

Unsurprisingly AA policy director Martin Glynn is calling for MOAR ROADS to ease Tamaki Makaurau's woeful congestion; oblivious to the well known phenomenon of INDUCED DEMAND as explained in the excellent "documentary" series Utopia 😀 www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/auckland/...
