Look, Ma – No Gears! Perfectly adequate in Cambridge, second only to Christchurch for lack of topographical diversity – would not be so useful in Wellington though, sadly.
Cycling with my better half in Cambridge can be quite a challenge, even though it’s a famously cycle friendly city. He seems to think that cycle lanes are a sign of weakness. This means i’ve had to develop quite a complicated series of hand gestures to pacify angry motorists: Thank you! Sorry! Yes, i’m with him! No, he doesn’t know what he’s doing! Sorry again!
