This is really good, a lot of traffic could be cut from town and city centres if more people realised that "last few miles" commuting is really easy! There needs to be more done from councils to promote "last few miles" commuting. All "Park and Rides" should advertise it. However I think the bus companies probably stop it happening or have a conflict of interest, hence why you dont see it more. there is a whole secret world of people who do this, me included!.

Somehow having a toddler on the back gives a perfectly valid excuse to blast some tunes on the bike... From Disney bangers to fat freddys, bring on the day!

Cycling Action Network are encouraging people to email Hon Chris Bishop (Chris.[address removed]) about the bikes on buses ban. There's been a trial of secure bike racks inside buses in Auckland which looks to have been successful and might be a good solution.

I did this quite a while before I retired but had to stop when my manager said the cleaners objected. I must havectudden through too many puddles! John (now retired in Somerset but had worked In Hertfordshire)

What a fantastic way to start Cycle September! A 30 minute cycle in the rain... surely it can only get better from here 🤞

There's nothing quite like the crisp winter air on your way into work and then to be greeted by the mist hovering over the top of the Barwon River and sunshine streaming through the trees!
