ninjas/cyclists celebrating survival with juice from the garden, looking like squinty muppets

Single speed bikes are the new skinny jeans, only super cool as opposed to super uncomfortable. They’re making an urban come back, developed from velodrome cycling to urban posties, and now to the rest of us.
Group rides in the weekends! Cycling can be a great way to meet people, and i’ve found other cyclists to be really friendly i.e. waving or nodding as they usually pass me pretty fast (im not about speed, im enjoying the journey!). There are also great adventures to be had, rail-trail cycle rack, le race (Chch to Akaroa), grape ride (round Blenheim), Lake Taupo cycle challenge, Rainbow rage (Hanmer) etc
It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.
~Ernest Hemingway
Cons:
The reality of biking amongst traffic can be pretty scary. This is something i am working on. Its really important to bike predictably for traffic, its safer to assume that cars havnt seen you.
The mountain bike
The secret to mountain biking is pretty simple. The slower you go the more likely it is you’ll crash.
I’ve not got into mountain biking yet, although my partner Dave got his old one all tuned up yesterday so it may well be on the cards! It looks super fun, not great for commuting unless you live in the mountains!
