How to velomobile

What a great video I can only say again how much would like one of these awesonne machines.It also shows how cycling infrastructure is done well in other countries and how educated car drivers are to cyclists. Even cyclists in strange bicycles!!

Dene's Koppio trip stage 2

Well what a perfect ride. Dene has done another superb job of scouting out a route and liasing with the local landowners to gain access for us. Thanks Deno. Eight of us set out on Dene's ride with two others Mary and Max taking a different route. The day was one of the best weather wise we have had for over three months. What a interesting ride we had. Lots of hill climbing on cockies back tracks. The crops look magnificant after all the rain we have had. The canola is a picture that defies description with fields of yellow stretching to the horizon. Arriving back at the old Koppio school site Kingsley has once again prepared a beautiful feast for us to munch out on. Kiwi you missed out on a great ride.


Spectacular views

Great video from streetfilms that gives a great view of the daily life in Copenhagen and how bikes can be used for most things in an urban setting.

Ride Report Grand Slam No 4 - 150 k leg

On Sunday 22nd August the weather was kind enough to the riders participating in the Grand Slam Series. We left the Arteyria at 7.30 am and rode to the end of the bitumen at Sleaford, and back into town to the end of the boat ramp at Billy Lights Point. From there we travelled into the Marina in front of the fishing business areas for coffee and sustenance from the trailer. Kingsley had prepared morning tea and we were met by Lana and Pete who were giving their support to the riders for 60 kilometres.
Dene and met us at the top of Western Approach Road and a group of 7 riders continued to enjoy the morning ride.At the Cummins turnoff, Lana and Pete wished us well and turned back to Port Lincoln. Fay Daniels joined us with her support vehicle. This was good as we all felt that the traffic was more considerate to us from that point.
The wind was beginning to raise its head, just a little, and we soon had a turn off the highway into Coffin Bay to protect us from the slight wind we had with the trees each side of the road.At Coffin Bay we rode through into the National Park for a couple of kilometres to make sure we had completed 103kilometres before lunch.
Back at the house where we had lunch, Kingsley had again surpassed his role and had a warm chicken and salad lunch with warm bread and tea and coffee to follow.We were sufficiently restored after a bit of a rest and soon back on the bikes to complete the ride into Port Lincoln for yet another coffee.
All done, Mary and Nigel John and Raelene had completed the 150 kilometre ride and Dene had completed the 100 kilometre Mini Slam.We all felt very pleased with the way we cycled and in all, the performance of the traffic was considerate. Weather wise it was a great day,as we haven't had many good days for cycling since!
