Decided to take my (SILs) bike on the scenic foreshore front beach path back home from the shops. Usually don't do that as people (and kids / dogs) are a bit all over the place. Anyway now I have a bell with a unicorn on it which I'm required to use by law. it also has a front basket. I didn't use the bell but felt empowered (and got laughed at by two young girls). They didn't have unicorn bells or a front basket so fuck em. I'm gonna get some tassels next.

In more serious news the Pt. Lonny front beach was absolutely smashed by recent swell / weather. Had a chat to a local who was walking past and she'd never seen anything like it either. Must've been wild.

Also got about 10 hellos from randoms which was nice.

Do they still make those beads for spokes, so you can go tick tick tick as you ride?
