Look at the difference!! Most of this rust is just dirt! It came off easily with a bit of drivetrain cleaner. I had time to tackle the rear hub and cassette on my lunch break today. Really want to see if I can save the chain.

Aw Heck, I think I might be starting a bike bus. Let's see how Ride 2 School day goes next week!

Finally found time to work on the abandoned bike this morning. The bearings all feel great, there's VERY minimal surface rust, and stuck-on grime in all the expected places. It cleans up really well with little effort. This has been living in a shed for years, not outside. Look at it shine!

Came in before sunrise this morning and I got to see how bright the greenwash lighting is in the Veloway. The whole corridor is very well lit and there are plenty of other people out and about.

I love this view, and I can't see it from inside a bus or car.

Normalising my commute with lots of normal photos and videos. I hope you all like utility cycling content! Very normal!

Damn, stuck in traffic. Haha just kidding, this many people can easily make it through on one light.

I really like the soaring feeling at the east end of the Veloway when I emerge from the tangle of concrete pylons and the view opens up to the city ahead. I also like the peace of getting to enjoy it without being on constant alert for motor vehicles.

"Hi, yep, I'm almost home. Just coming off the freeway now."

I feel like most of my ride photos and videos are from sunny days. Here's a rainy one. Take note that a) there are other people riding and jogging in the rain and b) we are not melting or combusting.

Here's 2-ish minutes of my morning commute. Maybe it's petrol prices or maybe the long weekend here in VIC, but there were very few cars on the streets. Delightfully quiet.

Trying to reduce your driving? See what shops/destinations are within walking distance of your home or work. A 15 minute walk is doable by most! app.traveltime.com

I saw a lot more pedestrians this morning on my way into the CBD, and a lot less cars.

In a time of soaring oil prices, I'm all the more grateful that we were able to get a house in a walkable neighbourhood, with a garage for bicycles.

The frame is barely scratched and the tyres have almost zero wear! Who would throw away a perfectly good bike??

New project! Found this gorgeous, neglected, abused beauty in a laneway. Confirmed with a neighbour that it was abandoned. Already looks better with a bit of soap and water but there's lots to do.

It all happened so fast. @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

Paisley station served Altona North from 1929 to 1985. Rebuilding and reopening it would provide better public transport options for the local community. If you support the idea, please sign the petition here: www.parliament.vic.g... 📷Melway edition 1 / Google Maps

With petrol prices soaring in Australia, now's a good time to get a $5 poncho (less than cost of 2L) and hop on your bike.

If I have to describe my first day of vibe coding, I encourage you to watch Celery Man. youtu.be/maAFcEU6atk?...

When I have time to finish the job, I'll get that dark patch in front of my neighbour's yard too. Assume they're ok with their shiny white work van getting dirty because they parked it while I was actively blasting gunk everywhere.

Tough to see from this angle, but the hardest square is #8 because you have to balance on one foot while you choose a book from the street library.

I know I'm tired when I see a video playing in my feed, think "hmm I can't hear that," and I put on my anti-glare glasses instead of my headphones.

One of my favourite things about riding my bicycle anywhere is bypassing all of the car traffic. Cars take up so much time and space!

One of my favourite things about riding my bicycle to work is that I get to say "good morning" to people who pass by. It's a wonderfully social world outside.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social is there someone you would recommend to follow, who does what you do but for women's fashion? I'd love to learn what's quality, what's affordable, to avoid the oodles of fast fashion and exploitative brands.

I dare you to replace one car trip with walking, rolling, biking, or public transit this week.

NSW Police used pepper spray, helicopters, horses and blockades as part of a new program designed to bring the community together. Read more: theshovel.com.au/2026/02/10/s...

I adjusted Sparkles' handlebars forward a bit so her knees have more room. I don't think she noticed but her riding instantly became more stable. It's really fun to see her ride and get more confident.

the bushes were people 😂

It comes down to the team I most want to see win, vs the team I most want to see lose. Go Seahawks! #Seattle #SuperBowl

The diesel fumes in Southern Cross station sure do keep the interior cosy.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

You know what would really piss off the US is if Australia stopped buying big dumb American pickups and went back to manufacturing utes. Let's do it.

I do think the local bicycle shop declaring They Can’t Kill Us All does mean this is shifting Into a new gear.

Good morning.

Ok but the 5-year olds earned their trophies.

“People ask me to predict the future, but all I want to do is prevent it. Better yet, build it. Predicting the future is too easy, anyway. You look around — the street you stand on, the air you breathe — and predict more of the same. To hell with more. I want better.” - Ray Bradbury

I will happily rewatch TRON and TRON: LEGACY anytime they're put in front of me. I don't think I'll ever feel the urge to rewatch TRON: ARES.

Now that all the cookies are eaten, I'm going to turn this little sewing tin into a puncture repair kit for my commuter.

This January is already more January than any January has ever Januaryed.

Oh yeah, let's let Grok Waifu listen in on your work meetings and ask you clarifying questions.

Reducing dependence on big oil sure looks like a great idea right now.

2026 starts with a little Prosecco and a freshly squeezed orange. 🥂

Kids these days.
