Glassy Wellington Harbour for our bike ride from Wellington to the Hutt along Te Ara Tupua today. Pic by @abartlet, who came with us to help me with bike maintenance! Thanks again, Andrew!

#MiniMastodonMeetup with @abartlet for a bike ride!

Edit later: Thanks again Andrew for coming and helping with fixing the other bike!

Well, that’s one of the #UrbanArrowAdventures I was hoping not to have to have. At least, as I just discovered, my AA Roadservice membership covers moving e-bikes in need of repair!

Biggest load yet- full week’s shop and one 1.5-year-old. Previously only done half-loads with the kids.

Family bike ride from Naenae to Eastbourne for a second-hand book fair.

Miss 4 is riding with a “trailgator” fitting which allows @MichaelaKHulse to tow her while she practises how to stay on the trailgator safely.

(Edit: last sentence previously said “balance” but she’s been able to ride a bike for years)

Took him out for a 5km ride in the midafternoon sun and he’s out like a light.

Normally I’d put something over his face for his privacy but the sunnies sitting askew do that well enough! #UrbanArrowAdventures #UrbanArrow #Quaxing #Bike #Cycling #Bikes #Wellington #LowerHutt #CargoBike

Another shopping trip done, with no fossil fuels! #UrbanArrowAdventures #UrbanArrow #Quaxing #Bike #Cycling #Bikes #Wellington #LowerHutt #CargoBike

We call our Bakfiets (pronounced “Buckfeets”, for the uninitiated) “Bakky, the Winter Soldier” cause it just keeps soldiering on all the way through winter. #IYKYK

Please boost, PSA: @MichaelaKHulse has started government petition telling the government to honour its commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement.

Wellington Harbour was glassy smooth this evening. Was a lovely ride from Wellington to Naenae! #UrbanArrowAdventures #UrbanArrow #Quaxing #CarryShitOlympics #Bike #Cycling #Bikes #Wellington #LowerHutt #CargoBike

Early for work so I decided to take a break in one of my #UrbanArrowAdventures. #UrbanArrow #Quaxing #CarryShitOlympics #Bike #Cycling #Bikes #Wellington #LowerHutt #CargoBike

As if anyone needed any proof of #climate change, here is a family of ducklings in #LowerHutt, #NewZealand *before* the Winter Solstice (tomorrow, which is the first day of “Winter”).

I also saw flowering daffodils this morning. #Wellington #ClimateChange

TIL that the late Kiwi politician and Olympian Dick Quax, the accidental source of the hashtag #quaxing was born “Theodorus Jacobus Leonardus Quax”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Quax

My real story of @MichaelaKHulse and I’s experience when Miss 4.5 was ~1, and the *chef’s kiss* response:

What’s the bet that I’m carrying more than this thing in front of me, with no burning of dinosaurs? #UrbanArrowAdventures #UrbanArrow #Quaxing #CarryShitOlympics #Bike #Cycling #Bikes #Wellington #LowerHutt #CargoBike

Trip to Bunnings to get things in previous post also included hooks for the other bikes to hang up in the garage, to make room for more #UrbanArrowAdventures.

Today in #UrbanArrowAdventures, I resemble a sailing boat going down the cycleway. #quaxing #CarryShitOlympics #Bike #Cycling #Bikes #Wellington #LowerHutt

I decided to walk around the area the council is/will be developing.

You guys the new Melling train station will be so nice. It's always been awkward how there's not a train station very near city centre. The new station will be a lot nearer. There will be a new pedestrian bridge from the station over the river. Once over the river, you're on Margaret Street, which puts you right in city centre. Two blocks to Neko Ngeru Cat Cafe. Three blocks to Queensgate mall.

#urbangardening @MichaelaKHulse’s latest harvest of potatoes and yams from our #UrbanGarden in #LowerHutt #Wellington #Aotearoa #NewZealand #garden #gardening

This veggie drawer was empty before she harvested them.

Amazing five-wheeled tandem recumbent bike (or perhaps “pike”?) for a legally blind woman to ride on the back that I just saw in #LowerHutt #wellington #NewZealand #Aotearoa #CarryShitOlympics #disabled #disability #disabilityaid #quaxing #bike #cycling

Mr 1.5’s review of Te Ara Tupua is that it is snooze-worthy 😉

My cousin wrote about our night at the #wrestling in #LowerHutt
When they announced the appearance of our mayor, Ken Laban (aka The KnightMayor) I was wondering if he’d get in the ring…

We took the kids, and their bikes, to the bike park on our bikes. #UrbanArrowAdventures #Bike #Cycling #Bikes #Wellington #LowerHutt #Quaxxing

Sedap in Naenae does the best nasi lemak in the Hutt. True story. The best. #Wellington #LowerHutt

1.5 year old *and* a week of shopping with #NoFossilFuels.

Myself and @MichaelaKHulse are now the proud owners of an Urban Arrow!
