You will need to walk your bike through…

Beat the Bus no 7 came about as I was investigating the trails through Lane Cove National Park near my accountant in Epping. Something interesting had to come out of a trip to the accountant, so as I bounced and slid through the fire trails in Lane Cove, I came across a really solid concrete…

After first riding around Sydney I felt content that I had conquered the big one. Then one day I thought can I trim it down so its more accessible to those that only have a long weekend. The 147km condensed Sydney bike trail was worked out and it still follows the rules of the…

Five super hot days and then in comes the southerly buster (thats a strong wind). So I decided to see if a strong wind and an eBike was any match for the round the horn train trip from Bondi Junction to Cronulla. To illustrate the ride, I jumped into my Google Maps timeline where I…
