@Gudrun, yikebike were on Montreal St when I visited a year or so ago. Between Brougham and Moorhouse, but I can’t remember the exact address.
The one I saw was a bit noisy too. Not dreadful, I didn’t think, but not electric car silent, for sure. I think it’s claimed to be deliberate, so people can hear you coming. Not sure I believe this…
Some thoughtful design gone into them, but I don’t know anyone who owns or has used one extensively. There’ll be more on the yikebike blog.ETA: local contact from website is:
YikeBike LtdMaria Kay
77 Montreal St
Christchurch 8023
New ZealandTelephone: +64 3 669 24 01
(I'm definitely not trying to sell them! I just think they look fun and practical, and like that they're a local business.)

Well about 3hrs 45mins of continuous Floyd and our Morepork friend (of which there is 4 at the mo) stayed the entire evening. One seems to hang out when the music is on. I am so pleased I can almost touch it from our flash new deck. We shone a torch to find him before we snapped :)

interesting contributions fron Stephanie & Ben Wilson.
Note that mine are based on el-cheapo second hand bikes. Newer and/or more expensive ones are a different experience, range and effort-wise. I never paid more than $300, but if you drop $1500 you'll get a different class of bike. Spend $5000 and it's something else again.
Mind you, in Christchurch, an unmotored pushbike is a pretty good option if you want to go slower?

Held Hostage by Caterpillars
I wake up and the plants are stalks
No time today for Sunday walks.
I have to rush to King's Plant Barn
In case my caterpillars come to harm.
Help! I gasp as I reach the door.
Swan plants, swan plants, I need some more! -

This one popped up in our builders mix last year and back again come it's flowers this year.

Where are the caterpillars?

Last year's monarch caterpillar

Sofie Bribiesca, in reply to
Not sure but last year it was inundated with Manuka honey bees and so far this year I am seeing many Monarch butterflys of which there were none before. So maybe they have binan'gone. Short of time to study that at the mo.The tree stands at about 2 metres now.

Might even be a legal requirement in some countries by now. Too many blind pedestrians getting run over by Priuses.
