Day 1890 #Pedal2Work Cool start to a warm and humid ride into #Melbourne CBD this morning. Thought it was going to be cold, but was hot and sweaty after a few mins. Did see another large group of senior riders passing me the other way on the Main Yarra Trail. 👍🚲😀

Day 1889 #Pedal2Work Cool but humid ride into #Melbourne CBD, and was quite surprised with the amount of people riding their bicycles socially shopping the Main Yarra Trail this morning. I saw two long "peletons" of senior riders out and about. Must be the weather conditions.

Day 1888 #Pedal2Work Another warm and humid morning to ride a bicycle into #Melbourne CBD along the Main Yarra Trail. This morning there were many people riding their bicycles along the same route. Turned up to work sweaty like yesterday. Still prefer riding to driving a car.

Day 1887 #Pedal2Work (for yesterday 19.01.2026) Warm ride in the morning to #Melbourne CBD, and by the time I was at work I was drenched in sweat. It wasn't very hot and the sky was slightly cloudy at times, but it was humid - and that added to the amount of perspiration. 👍🚲😀

Day 1886 #Pedal2Work Enjoyable ride to #Melbourne CBD this boring with warm and cloudy conditions, with bits of sun poking through. The first half of the ride felt like riding into a headwind, but then the second half felt like the wind changed direction and the speed picked up.

Day 1885 #Pedal2Work Warm and humid ride to #Melbourne CBD this morning. While it was comfortable and overcast, I did arrive at work drenched in sweat. Thankfully the showers were free. And it beats driving a car or sitting on public transport. 👍🚲😀

Day 1884 #Pedal2Work Very comfortable ride into #Melbourne CBD this morning. No hot sun, with the sky being overcast. No strong headwind. Very pleasant journey along the Main Yarra Trail. Saw a few others out enjoying the conditions as well. 👍🚲😀

Day 1883 #Pedal2Work Very quick and comfortable ride to #Melbourne CBD this nothing along the Main Yarra Trail. Temperature felt just right, and it felt like there was a small tailwind to make it slightly easier. #LifeIsBetterOnABicycle 👍🚲😀

Day 1882 #Pedal2Work Very comfortable ride into #Melbourne CBD this morning with a slightly cool start. After a few minutes, with everything up to speed, temperature was just right. No real perceived headwind, and it was just a pleasant ride all the way. 👍🚲😀

Day 1881 #Pedal2Work Warm but comfortable ride into #Melbourne CBD this morning, but did have a slight tail wind on the way in to make the ride slightly easier. Small patches of a refreshing cool breeze were also encountered. Not looking forward to the ride home if it's 40°+.

Day 1880 #Pedal2Work Humid and warm ride into #Melbourne CBD this morning, but thankfully it was not too hot. Pleasant cool breezes accompanied me along the Main Yarra Trail. It felt like one of those days that I could have just kept riding. #LifeIsBetterOnABucycle 👍🚲😀

Day 1879 #Pedal2Work Very warm ride into #Melbourne CBD this morning. Was in the mid 30°s (Celsius) by the time I got to work, so it didn't hit the patch when it was above 40, which would have felt like riding through a hair dryer. Cool shower at work got me back to normal.

Day 1878 #Pedal2Work First ride to #Melbourne CBD for work for the new year was very pleasant and comfortable. Weather was enjoyable - no breeze and the sun was not too hot. Had a quick stop on the way. Rockstar parking as usual. 🚲👍😀

Day 1877 #Pedal2Work Last day of this year to ride a bicycle into #Melbourne CBD for work. This time I stopped for a #quax, and got rockstar parking out the front of the shop. No doubt I'll do more riding this year, but just not for work.

Day 1876 #Pedal2Work Left a little bit later this morning as I woke up to the front tyre being flat. Once changed, it was a pleasant ride into #Melbourne CBD. A lot less cars were being driven on the roads. Looks like Christmas holidays have started for some. 🚲👍😀

Day 1875 #Pedal2Work Quick ride to #Melbourne CBD on the main roads which were quiet. Not many people are driving their cars about. Stopped for a #quax along the way and got "rockstar parking" in the building itself. #LifeIsBetterOnABicycle

Day 1874 #Pedal2Work Today was a cooler than usual start, so I made the mistake of wearing a jacket for my ride to #Melbourne CBD. Did a quick #quax along the way before getting into the proper commute which turned out to be very warm with the jacket still on.

Day 1873 #Pedal2Work Cool but comfortable day to ride a bicycle into #Melbourne CBD. Weather was pleasant, but there was a slight headwind on the way in. Luckily for me there was a guy with a flappy jacket on an eBike that I was able to hide behind from the wind. 👍😀🚲

Day 1872 #Pedal2Work Mild and pleasant morning to ride a bicycle into #Melbourne CBD via the Main Yarra Trail. Only a slight headwind was encountered, but otherwise it was a very comfortable ride. Good to see other people out on their bicycles too.

Day 1871 #Pedal2Work Lovely start to a pleasant ride into #Melbourne CBD via the Main Yarra Trail. Sky was somewhat overcast, and the conditions felt humid, but far from cold. Brought a jacket in case there was rain on the way to work, but it looked sunnier as I got to the city.

Day 1870 #Pedal2Work (for yesterday 4.12.2025) Stunning day to ride a bicycle into #Melbourne CBD. Dropped the youngest off at school, then took the Anniversary Trail around to the Gardiners Creek Trail, then onto the Main Yarra Trail. Could have ridden more. 👍😀🚲

Day 1869 #Pedal2Work Beautiful #Melbourne morning to take a bicycle ride along the Yarra River into the CBD. Wore my jacket out of the house thinking it was going to be cold, but took it off before I even started riding. Much better riding conditions than the start of the week.

“Ultimately, helmet laws save a few brains but destroy many hearts.” Canadian physician Thomas DeMarco warns of the ripple effects resulting from helmet laws that paint cycling as dangerous, thus reducing ridership despite the little protection that helmets provide”

Day 1868 #Pedal2Work Cool but sunny conditions on the way to #Melbourne CBD this morning. Some wet patches on the roads and paths, but it was a welcomed change from the rains that I experienced yesterday. Looking forward to some drier conditions this week. Bike needs a clean.

Day 1867 #Pedal2Work Left at a sketchy time for the ride to #Melbourne CBD via the Main Yarra Trail as the sky was dark grey. Got caught while riding along the river, but was lucky enough to stop under a trail bridge and wait out for most of the downpour to end. 😀👍🚲

Day 1866 #Pedal2Work Had to rush into the office this morning, so I rode on the main roads on the way to #Melbourne CBD. Was able to pass many cars on the way there that were such bumper to bumper. My 35 min usual ride was done in around 20 mins. 👍😀🚲

Day 1865 #Pedal2Work (somewhat) Started by dropping the youngest off at school and then was riding the "scenic" route into #Melbourne CBD when the cold rain started bucketing down. Was lucky I was near a train station, so I abandoned the long way opting for a dry seat instead.

Day 1864 #Pedal2Work Strong headwind on the way to #Melbourne CBD this nothing, and I was feeling the 2nd day stiffness that comes from riding a bicycle for the first time or after a long break. The weird thing about the feeling is that I didn't notice it while I was riding.

Day 1863 #Pedal2Work Great to be back on the bicycle after a few weeks off. Was busy taking the youngest to school and catching up on reading comics on the tram to work, but getting on the bicycle again is an awesome alternative. Great weather today too. 👍😀🚲

Day 1862 #Pedal2Work Cool start to a quick and quiet bicycle ride to #Melbourne CBD. Not many people were on the road in their cars, and was lucky enough to get behind a quick guy on a gravel bicycle that was able to take care of most of the headwind. 😀👍🚲

Day 1861 #Pedal2Work Cool start to the ride to #Melbourne CBD via the Main Yarra Trail, but the ride was comfortable in a short amount of time. Was able to hang on behind a road bicycle rider about half way through and maintain a good pace. Hoping for more tshirt riding weather.

Day 1860 #Pedal2Work Cool start of the day while riding into #Melbourne CBD via the Main Yarra Trail. Saw a few other people riding their bicycles along the trail too, and thankfully there weren't that many cars out and about the time I was riding so it felt very safe to ride.

Another unbelievable tragedy, we've been so desensitised to road violence that we aren't rioting on our streets to demand safer streets from cars and trucks.

Day 1859 #Pedal2Work Another great spring day to ride a bicycle into #Melbourne CBD. The weather was very pleasant, even though there was a headwind for around a quarter of the ride. Started listening to a new series of podcasts from @mtggoldfish.com. I'm on Dragons of Tarkir.

Day 1858 #Pedal2Work Lovely spring morning to ride a bicycle into #Melbourne CBD. There wasn't too much of a headwind until I got to the office, and it was t-shirt weather all the way. Good to see a few other people riding their bicycles along the river trail too. 😀👍🚲

Halloween has come early for Boroondara's planners... ...they might have to approve medium-density housing! 😱 😱

Day 1857 #Pedal2Work Felt cool in the morning before my ride to #Melbourne CBD, so made the choice to wear a jacket. I've made the same mistake this week. A few minutes in and it was very warm to ride. Couldn't be bothered stopping to take the jacket off. Oh well... 👍😀🚲

Day 1856 #Pedal2Work A pleasant ride to #Melbourne CBD along the main Yarra Trail. Was a little cool to start with, so took off wearing a jacket, and by the time it was too warm for the jacket, I was not far for the office - so just rode in the rest of the way. 🚲👍😀

Day 1855 #Pedal2Work Cool start to a pleasant ride into #Melbourne CBD this morning. Not much of a headwind, but the temperature was less than expected. Some wet paths and roads were encountered, but nothing that caused problems. Hoping to dodge the rain on the way home tonight.

Day 1854 #Pedal2Work Stopped for a #quax along the way to #Melbourne CBD. Since my better half has been enjoying having a jug of coffee on standby, we're close to empty. Nothing better than buying ground beans by bike. No parking hassles - just in and out #LifeIsBetterOnABicycle

Day 1853 #Pedal2Work It was a cool start in the morning for the ride to #Melbourne CBD, and I was thinking it was going to be wet. Turned out it was mild and had a strong headwind for most of the way - so the jacket I was wearing was keeping me too warm. Oh well... 🚲👍😀

Day 1852 #Pedal2Work Strong headwind encountered along the way to #Melbourne CBD. Had a break for a little bit as I was able to shelter behind another rider, but then he slowed down and let me pass, then jumped on behind me. Still better than being stuck in a car.

Day 1851 #Pedal2Work The rains overnight got me to choose riding on the roads to #Melbourne CBD this morning. The ride was quick and didn't seem to have many cars around me the time I was travelling. Not sure if people are away or the weather got them to work from home.

Day 1850 #Pedal2Work Lovely day for a ride to #Melbourne CBD this morning. Weather was comfortable to ride in a tshirt, and there was less traffic on the roads while I was riding. Good to be back on the bicycle after a long weekend. 🚲👍😀

Day 1849 #Pedal2Work Slightly cool ride into #Melbourne CBD hoping there wasn't going to be any rain. Luckily, for me, the rain didn't come until later in the day. The ride home in the evening was in the damp, but still enjoyable. #LifeIsBetterOnABicycle 🚲👍😀

Day 1848 #Pedal2Work Pleasant ride to #Melbourne CBD via the Main Yarra Trail. Back to wearing a tshirt instead of the jacket. Weather was pleasant - a little cool, but very comfortable. Some sports riders were out on a training session, but they were too fast for me to keep up.

Day 1847 #Pedal2Work Wet ride with some patches of rain along the way to #Melbourne CBD this morning. Luckily I was wearing the usual jacket, and while that got wet, I was relatively comfortable. Didn't end up getting soaked which was a blessing. End of trip shower was pleasant.

Day 1846 #Pedal2Work Felt like a quick ride for most of the way into #Melbourne CBD via the Main Yarra Trail. Didn't get any headwind until I was near the office. Not many people out riding today. Didn't notice many people driving their cars on the roads either.
