Summer by numbers
On the fourth day of Autumn, we sweltered in 35° celsius and 90% humidity. I didn’t ride. No need and too hot. However, during the Gregorian calendar’s thirteen weeks of summer, I rode quite a bit – to shop, to swim at the beach, to enjoy a coffee, to commute to work and to go out for dinner on balmy tropical nights. Here is my summer by numbers…
877 Kilometres travelled by bicycle
134 Most kilometres ridden in a single week
100 Journeys taken by bicycle
90 Days of summer
67 Days on which I rode my bike
67 Average number of kilometres per week
62 Pedal hours
46.8 Fastest speed (km/hr) – yes that’s downhill 🙂
32 Journeys under 5 kilometres
4 Days I had to turn around because king tides made the creek bridges unpassable
3 Minties I met
2 Middle-aged women who survived riding in a concrete skatebowl
1 Live snakes – a story yet to be told…
a bike for all seasons 
love that painting by numbers “photo” at the beginning of the post.

It was a very hot day Jen (a three-swim day 🙂 ) but riding on the beach was a great place to be.

Hi, It will be interesting to see if cycling is the most convenient form of transport during the Commonwealth Games or will you be retreating to the hinterland of the Gold Coast?

Hi Margaret, that’s an insightful point. The traffic congestion and restrictions are growing daily. I’ll be staying on the Gold Coast but thankfully have gone electric for my work commute and I’m feeling very happy about that.

😀 I think my eBike is going to inflate some of my statistics before too long – particularly kms travelled!
