Gender Testing

With the various 'step-through', 'lowbar' and 'crossbar' bikes, it's not always easy to tell whether a bike is that of a man or a woman. However, the floral basket decoration is still a dead giveaway.

28.05

It's fairly rare to have a 28.05th birthday party. It's rarer still to have a guest of honour who celebrates by making a fantastic meal for her numerous party guests. I can't remember the name of the feature dish - but i can tell you it was quite delish!

Bike Trailer

Spotted this at Greenfest and was quite impressed. As well as the creativity of making one's own bicycle trailer, the side parts appear to be made out of former bicycles (with some bamboo cladding for style). Much kudos from me. And it was a great way for one of the food and drink outlets to get around the festival to offer people their iced tea (or whatever it was ... i was looking at the construction of the trailer, not its contents :)

Post-Ride Milo

And of course, there's nothing like a Milo after an Autumn bike ride on a cool moist overcast afternoon. Especially if it has marshmallows in it!

Rebound Sunset

Ok, so i post a few sunset pictures (here, here, here, here, here and here). But this one has a difference - it's in the eastern sky! Even though it looks like the sun is behind the clouds, it is in fact in the other side of the sky, and its light is reflecting off these clouds in the east.

Contrast

The photo from the other day, but with added contrast to make it look more arty.

Misty Bike Ride

A rainy day when a bike ride is planned. The bad part is waiting around (helmet held hopefully in hand) for the rain to clear. The good part is seeing stuff like this. It's just an inner-suburban street, with some mist, but it was awesome. Moreso than the photo can tell.

Southbank Ferris Wheel

Yeah, there's probably an officially-endorsed name. But i don't know it - so let's just stick with Ferris Wheel.

New Shop

Recently heard about a new electric bike shop that has opened up near me (Woodstock Ave Toowong to be precise). So first day of uni break, i went to check it out.

For those not au-fait with electric bikes, they are the same as normal bikes, except with a choice of pedalling or letting the motor do the work.

The little battery you can see just below the seat apparently goes for 20-30km on just a few cents of electric charge.

Semester is over, and so is my self-imposed blogging exile...


Do you reckon it looks a bit lunar?
