RIP, you were a fine middle distance runner and as an elected official contributed to civic society.

Who knew Curnow was writing about bike racks! ;-)

I wonder whether it leans, though. That would be sensible, especially because bikes back then were often not very strong. Otherwise the stability would be negligible.

Being Sydney, it was…

Yes, somehow they make it sound like a really fun kind of bicycling rather than a really dangerous kind of motorcycling. Especially since that is technically a tricycle, with all the amazing performance characteristics that entails.

So the bag just flops about without even really being secured to the bike? Surely it would bounce off at the least excuse?

Except the cops, and then they take the whole thing with no comeback. Not sure if that's a better system.

The only problem I've struck is losing the little strap at the bottom, that secures it to the rear fork. Bought a couple of replacements, they fell off too, decided I could do without it.

I have a basket on front too. I know it's a bit Mary Poppins,…

The video shows Ortliebs which by all accounts are great, but Vaude's Aqua Roller bags…

Cycle Hoops! Yes those. Everywhere, please.

Like the idea,…

Forgot about this Bikerakk gem along Hobson St!

These bolt-on types should be on every lamp post & street sign in town.

Oh good on you, great to hear that it's proving useful. I was kind of tempted by those, before deciding that a full-sized ebike would be better suited to hauling me and my…

Maybe while Countdown is considering a good bike rack, they can think of promotions for the not so car centric?

Nevertheless, you can see how many customers come by bike, and…

Biggest issue was rush hour traffic since Hamilton streets can be quite narrow. One of the…

This is the opposite of what my Dutch friend tells me – that you need to lock your bike indoors (or in a secure facility) if you ever want to see your bike again. I guess…

I should qualify that I do most of my engagement in downtown areas.

Growing up in Titirangi I walked scenic drive a lot. In many places there was only one safe side to walk, but…

I might be completely wrong on the physics but it also feels more stable due…

FWIW, when I come across people walking on the right as I ride on the left, I often stop and either indicate for them to walk on the left, or tell them to walk on the left.

Usually it's o'seas students…

They don't seem to be on Twitter. I'm figuring their media monitoring will have kicked in by now :-)

The Westmere shops are on two routes that are part of the current $200m regional facilities upgrade being done over the next two to three years: the Waitemata Safe Route and the Point Chevalier to Herne Bay cycleway (which will be separated!).…

Also, I'm not strong enough to lift my bike to hook it up on those ferries. FWIW, here be my humble quaxer.

I for one promise to visit The Golden Dawn even…

I don't mind the one at Countdown Quay St. The photo above is a bit odd as the bikes are parked at angles, which doesn't normally happen. I've only ever seen 2 or 3 bikes there (although there is the…

There is a trick to it that takes out the heavy lifting, although it does take practice. Standing on the side which has the rear brake control you squeeze the brake and…

WE have one of those? Hooda thought...

I'm sure he would love it, for a percentage ;-)

Also, I think, the bikes are a little less in danger of falling over, which is a problem with a big long overcrowded rack of bikes all…

For relevance to the post: This could be used outside a supermarket or a…

Yes, I'm trying to broker one for Matt at (GD) via Kathryn (AT), at a popular establishment in Ponsonby you're familiar…

Note the amount of space allocated for cars (this is the home of BMW, Mercedes and VW) and yet you…

That, my friend, sends shivers of panic up my spine even to this day, that and Hyde Park Corner and marble Arch.

:-0

Pleased to be of service! It's a pretty likely choice for me, since I often chose the bike because I couldn't park a car nearby.

I go extra distance to avoid the entire…

I wonder whether that is why the powers that be drag their collective feet over public transport but that is a different matter, they seem to ignore that progression of…

This is what you get at the Countdown Quay Street in the CBD. Someone who probably doesn't ride bikes managed to install it incorrectly and too close together. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Other places with dishwasher rack parking: Westfields Downtown (in front of…

Really? They did in Amsterdam, but that could be an exception. I had a bike that had quite a cool feature, a built in rear-wheel lock there. Never seen it since.

Sure, anyone could pick it…

A bike rack at the Garnet Rd shops would be great but I think it would be…

Not recommended.

Eventually, months after my crash, someone rang back from AT. Nice enough about it. But nothing's changed down there. I go extra distance to avoid the entire area.

This is London's busiest bike track, apparently, positively bulging at the seams. Quite encouraging stuff.

Out…

I'm proud of it. But should I be? Bertrand Russell extolled the bike's simplicity.

"I got on my bike and rode away. And with that, my first marriage came to an end."

Quaxing?

I usually manage with one pannier – two…

I secretly love it when people lock bikes to the poles that hold the "No Parking" signs!

That's a shame –…

Sure, anyone could pick it up and put it in a van, but it isn't that great a bike to start with.

I noticed during the recent consultation on the redesign of our local Pt Chev "village green" that the new proposed design takes away the well-used and very sturdy racks outside the library in favour of installing a ramp, but offers no obvious…

In my London Borough, we are the proud recipients of mini-Holland funding for bike friendliness and have seen the installation of all…

My answer to the countdown Grey Lynn problem would be don't shop there. It's rubbish on other levels too – expensive, too many toys on pillars, poorly organised, Aussie owned...

I'm…

My initial thought was that you were expressing n=1 thinking; how many other people…
