Snappy...I admire you for even attempting to ride in Auckland traffic...!!!! ONe day, one day, one day they'll sort out the mess. Who knows, mr cereal king hubbard might have a chance there...

(I used to ride from mt albert to penrose & had to take over the whole lane or else...)

happy riding.

My commute is a little hairy, to say the least - been knocked off once so far, and have about 6 near misses a day!
I've lost count of the number of times I've heard of cyclists being hit by cars on the travel reports on the radio!
I sometimes think I'm in the middle of a computer game, with extra points gained for avoiding the various hazards. Unfortunately, I only have one life, not three!
Despite how hideous my commute has been that day, I still feel smug when I cycle over the motorway flyover and see the cars at a standstill beneath me!
When I've asked people why they don't cycle they say there's too much traffic on the roads ...
I cycle through Mt Albert on my way to work - because of all the cars parked up in the cycle lane, I usually get the lane to myself - but have to share with the car owners who like to open their car doors on me as I approach, or who pull out on me because cyclists don't count!
Woodhill - never got that far, only as far as Muriwai Beach.
