Bike to Work Day

Today is Bike to Work Day. One of the benefits is a free breakfast at Civic Square put on by the Wellington City Council. Some observations:
  • Annette King is very skinny now! If she ever gives up politics she could be come a catwalk model.
  • Trevor Mallard turned up late, and then admitted that he hadn't biked from home but "around the bays" - presumably the six ks from Evans Bay. (or the 1k from Oriental Bay?)
  • Paul Bruce was the only representitive from the Green Party - normally they have a big showing but I had a good chat to him about what he could focus on to get broader support from public transport users and cyclists as he is running for regional council.
  • The Cycle Aware Network Map of cycle hazards was pretty comprehesive!

    Bwahahahaha! Perhaps if she didn't have a head like a dropped meat pie...

  • I have a soft spot for Annette King - she is possibly the nicest MP currently in Parliament.

  • I'll have to take your word for it, but I do know she's no model!

  • Trevor Mallard probably biked from around the corner, after being dropped off in a Crown Limo.

    He was the same muppet that had two flats last year I recalled.
