In less important news, me and the Greenpeace crew are currently 2nd on our category in the #AotearoaBikeChallenge! 🚲 🥈

I need to recruit a few more cyclists to knock MOTAT out of the first spot.

Did I just go for a completely unnecessary bike ride in the rain, for no reason other than adding points to the tally for the #AotearoaBikeChallenge?
Yes, I did. 🚲

Did I get soaked?
Yes. 🌧️

Was it worth it?
Absolutely. 😃

Should you join?
Of course. And if you mention me as your "Encourager" I'll get even more points! 🤝

Do not go to the shops.

I repeat, do not go to the shops if you can at all avoid it.

And if you really have to, don't go by car.
It's car park madness out there.

I love my bike today more than ever. 🚲❤️

I thought we were still in long sleeves season, but turns out it is already layers and gloves season. 🥶 🚲

Nevertheless, lots of awesome people commuting on their bikes across Tāmaki-Makaurau!!

#AKLBikeLife #NoCarNoProblem

Way more excited than I should be about my workplace getting on the workride programme to help employees buy ebikes, bikes or scooters for cheaper.

Removing barriers for people who'd like to commute in greener transport methods!

I don't even need a new bike but I'm just keen on more people riding in to work.

We're going to need a bigger bike rack!

Had not had something like this happen in a while.

Riding my bike back home, a car passes me and some angry dude yells something. Of course he's caught up in traffic a little bit further ahead so I approach and say "what's your problem?"
-you shouldn't be on the road!
"so where should I be?"
He insists (wrongly) I shouldn't be on the road, gets off the car approaches me and threatens to punch me.
I'm not afraid and I dare him to do it, see how it works out for him. Plenty of witnesses and cameras on my bike, plus a very embarrassed woman still in the car with him.
He returns to his car, sits there and sulks.
I take my phone out, snap a picture of his car, smile and wave goodbye.
He's still sitting in traffic, probably.

Violently ignorant.
This is your brain on Cars.
