Go by Bike - gents

It was slim pickings but ...

Cool and possibly the best dressed there

and talented ... if you don't hold the whole unicycle thing against him

Nice - these are potentially the bike racks we will be seeing around Auckland in the near future. He was asking where the AT should put them .... EVERYWHERE of course!

Moody

Just plain fun, and a fabulous regular at this annual event

an almost 'rain free' shot here

Plastic bag weather

I like a man that matches his socks ... and not just to each other!

Man with bananas ... and coffee

Smiling is definitely 'chic' and there was lots of that.

Go by Bike - ladies

Frocks are made of hardy stuff ...

Perfect outfit for summer cycling!

Flowers galore

And an uber chic hair do

Beautifully done Barb! Rain? What rain?

Red seemed to be a popular colour to ignore the rain with ...

Another REAL cyclist looking fab as always

One of our fabulously stylish city cyclists is working on a new member to the flock

inspiration taken from a previous post I did - nice to see

Looking goood!

Go by Bike 1

I am so very behind with my posts so apologies for my tardiness ...

As I'm sure you are aware, it was wet ... very wet! But if you were not quite wet enough, Auckland Council had kindly supplied lots of bottled water ...

... and a cake - very nice!

and a tractorbikething

This guy was there as usual, jollying us all along (I say 'all' in the 'everyone that was there' sort of way, not in the 'vast crowds' sort of way ... cause there wasn't. There was just a handful of idiots like myself that had got up early for the occasion and spent the rest of the day in wet shoes!)

This guy was there as well - he didn't cycle but I don't blame him (see the part about idiots above). Len's shoes were dry, and fair enough too - I don't want someone making important decisions about my city being distracted by wet feet - but obviously Len missed the memo about that.

Of course the TV was there - interviewing a proper cyclist in addition to the fraud that Auckland Transport engineered.

That's Tim's dog in the box - he's a bit big for it now but seemed happy enough once settled.

Hmm ... not sure what to make of this.

I might just wear one of these!

Summer

Summer cycling .... at last some sun!

Here's a nice little summer vid to celebrate.

Ducks in a row

With my DSLR on 'sports' mode I can take a little series of photos in quick succession ...

Something takes your interest in the distance ...

and it turns out to be some 'Frocks' in training

a lovely family riding in formation along the waterfront

 ... enjoying the weekend

and then they're gone.

Market day

I get most of my groceries from the Britomart market and often bump into like minded people

I spotted this lady the other day looking fabulous on her bicycle ... a Schwinn Cream if I'm not very much mistaken

She was then joined by her equally well bicycled partner.
