Not a big flood in the scheme of things, but it sure left its mark.
I’ve been playing with Cyclelicious’s map app, and there’s lots to like–especially now that it works for Australia.

A rare fall of rain adds a bit of extra “interest” to the bike trails.
I never get bored with my ride to and from work. When you ride, every day is a different experience. But sometimes it’s fun to freshen things up a bit.
Can anyone explain to me why a new motorway construction project seems terminally incapable of completing a mere bike and pedestrian overpass, while a separate motorway “upgrade” project can remove and replace a comparable bridge seemingly without a hitch?

“One of the greatest things about cycling is you can do it with 10,000 people or you can do it alone. And you don’t need to engage in the `secret handshake’ of name-dropping, proper equipment usage, and wardrobe in order to do it. Choose a group, choose a fashion, or don’t, it doesn’t matter.” — Bike Snob NYC
