Mullum Mullum



is the name of a creek and a tollway tunnel in eastern Melbourne.
here is the bike track that was built around the tunnel
in the distance beneath the gumleaf-bedecked, architectural folly feature
is the tunnel entrance
pretty big pic if you clic









the tunnel was built to save the creek

a magical place to ride on a cool summer's morning

those wires will disappear inside the frame
and narry a cable tie will be seen

Shogun girls' MTB


an opp-shop find
lots of nice details for a budget bike
like biopace chainrings
exage hubs and araya rims
and Shimano 200EX long cage rear derailleur
love the cable routing through the down tube brace most of all.

a nice, relatively light bike

Coffee pays for new dynamo wheel

by buying one of these...


 and thereby avoiding having to pay one of these...


I was able to purchase this.
try it.
avoid cafes altogether and see how much you save in a year.
