Bicycle! Bicycle!: June 2014
http://iwanttoridemy.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 19, 2014. I'm On A Boat.cycle! I've noticed distinct patterns emerging in my wardrobe since I returned to bicycles. The most obvious being a sharp decrease in non stretch pants and corresponding increase in dresses for the freedom of movement they provide. (I said as much in my little bit of The Girls' Bicycle Handbook. Bike Stripes Genesis in Perth. Stretch 'T-Shirt' material dress from Target, perfect for sweaty, West Australian summers. Bike Stripes in Tasmania. Not that this fact preve...

Bicycle! Bicycle!: Just a Small Town Girl: Living in a bikeless world.
http://iwanttoridemy.blogspot.com/2011/09/just-small-town-girl-living-in-bikeless.html
Thursday, September 1, 2011. Just a Small Town Girl: Living in a bikeless world. Let me tell you my Bicycling Story. It began last century, with one of these:. Picture found on this blog. By way of Google image search.*. The general standard of natural beauty on Rottnest. Photo from this travel blog. With basic information about the island. My family had a small income so my parents scoured newspapers for garage sales or people selling old bikes. Old bikes were not Vintage. Only little girls like pink.

Bicycle! Bicycle!: May 2013
http://iwanttoridemy.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 17, 2013. Last of the Summer Whine. The 'incidental product review' was the Memories Bottle baskets. They proved quite excellent. Green lingered in some fields, others were completely yellow. Ginger's Classic Al by the River Forth. Father wears his helmet by the River Forth, dares the environment to give him a head injury. Dry fields, fat bottoms, plenty of sun. The sitz bone will eventually have a say. And it will most likely say, "My ARSE! Solution: Food as reward. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Bicycle! Bicycle!: July 2013

Tuesday, July 30, 2013. Hittin The Ground. (Why I hate the Pashley Princess Kickstand). Anybody who owns a factory standard Pashley can attest to two things:. 1 The Pashley (Princess Sovereign) is a heavy bicycle, and. 2 The included kickstand is six kinds of incapable of dealing with fact number 1. Better have great dental coverage for your toddler before you trust that single kickstand. Rural bike path hazards. Pictured: Almost as much shit as you'll get from the Pashley kickstand. In the fortunately f...

Bicycle! Bicycle!: November 2013
http://iwanttoridemy.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 23, 2013. And now, a Very Special Tasmanian Cycle Chic post:. You rudely interject, "What is so special about this perfectly ordinary looking and unfetishised bicycle? I see no wicker baskets or cute bells or even mudguards! I can barely picture a nubile, billowing skirted maiden upon the saddle! Surely this bicycle is the very antithesis of internet cycle chic posts! This bicycle is parked outside of a chocolate factory. Specifically it is parked outside House of Anvers. You're welcom...

Tuesday, August 27, 2013. 2013 Bike Hour II: The Bikening. It's that time of year again! Soon the equinox will be upon us and no matter which hemisphere you call home, the equinox means Bike Hour. As I explained in typically coarse language last equinox. This time around the promotional materials are hot-pink so of course the Bike Hour Facebook. Where will YOU be this Bike Hour? Your bicycle, not your Pink-Spoked Circle. At least not in public. Gratis Bike Hour promotional materials are available here.

Bicycle! Bicycle!: March 2013
http://iwanttoridemy.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 21, 2013. Bad Moon Rising, Good Bike-Riding. (Bike Hour). I didn't think I was going to make it to the first Bike Hour. Dork Head and Narcissistic Selfie? Let's Bike Hour this bitch! To the West, Nature's Majesty. To the East, surly teens and some of the only bicycles I saw during Bike Hour. A couple of cars,. Leaning on a bench to check my phone,. And then taking a picture of myself once I realised nobody could see me. Around the bench leaning, phone checking portion of my Bike Hour I re...

Bicycle! Bicycle!: At The Hipster Corral.
http://iwanttoridemy.blogspot.com/2014/04/at-hipster-corral.html
Saturday, April 5, 2014. At The Hipster Corral. The sad thing about North West Tasmanian bicycle infrastructure is we have yet to link up the excellent but currently town specific shared paths. The happy thing about North West Tasmanian bicycle infrastructure is that this results in cyclist clusters at either end of each path, providing me with bicycle spotting opportunities. Especially in the case of the Wynyard path which ends (or begins, depending upon your point of view) at Bruce's. Bicycle Network A...

Bicycle! Bicycle!: October 2013
http://iwanttoridemy.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 18, 2013. Two Wheels Good, Four Wheels Baaaaad. Yes, that was a completely recontextualised Animal Farm reference. Blame George Orwell. While we're blaming George Orwell, Australian politics is growing ever more excellent/ridiculous regards the transport debate. After we managed to accidentally elect a member of the Motoring Enthusiasts Party and a bicycle infrastructure hating MAMIL at the last federal skirmish it was only a matter of time before this. Spill blood on the suburban streets?

Wednesday, June 12, 2013. A Load of BSA. In one of the many Tasmanian Antique shops, this unusual piece of history was up on a high display. I took some pictures and promptly forgot about it until recently:. It was well above head height, a bit hard to photograph. Note the fork mounted lighting and sturdy built-in luggage rest. If the chain ring is to anything to go by, this is a 'BSA' bike which I had not heard of until my Googling told me it stands for Birmingham Small Arms company. At the BSA museum s...
