Chopper Guard: August 2010
http://chopperguard.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
It's a bike feeling. Tuesday, August 17, 2010. Blind to giveway rules. Looking, but not seeing. Life is a potpourri of chance and opportunity. Sometimes you come up smelling like roses and other times like steaming turd. Whichever the case, the winners are those who suck it up and enthusiastically saturate their olfactory organs with life’s sweet scents and steamy miasma. The other thought occurring to me as I wrestled the asphalt was, how did the driver not see me? The sad irony is that I was on a ̵...

Chopper Guard: March 2011
http://chopperguard.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
It's a bike feeling. Monday, March 14, 2011. Mertolink cyclist killer counselled “in line with company policy”. Being a bus operator at NZ Bus is a more rewarding and fulfilling career than most. Just ask Aucklander Damien Buckley, who was a passenger on Metrolink’s 274 service, as it was driven on the wrong side of the road at a cyclist on Mt Eden Rd. "I yelled, 'what are you doing? Really loud but [the driver] didn't look back at me; he was too busy trying to kill the guy,". What we look for. Being a g...

Chopper Guard: Cheers to performance enhancers
http://chopperguard.blogspot.com/2008/12/cheers-to-performance-enhancers.html
It's a bike feeling. Saturday, December 6, 2008. Cheers to performance enhancers. Heineken's interest in sport goes much deeper than footwear. How could anyone ride THAT. Race ‘clean’? 3,500km in 21 days, never mind the mountains, on meat pies and Coke. I don’t think so. Humanly impossible. But no one's ever going to sanction performance enhancing drugs, so let’s just enjoy the drama of drug busts, stony faced denials and empty confessions. The other day, 800 metres from home, he bonked. Yeah, but we mus...

Chopper Guard: You can beat an egg
http://chopperguard.blogspot.com/2009/08/you-can-beat-egg.html
It's a bike feeling. Saturday, August 8, 2009. You can beat an egg. But you can't beet-a-root. Chopper Guard readers were first to learn about the performance enhancing effects of Heineken. Now here’s something else for your nutrition regime. Beetroot. That’s right. Nitrates contained in beetroot juice boost stamina by reducing the oxygen cost of exercise. Get into it.

Chopper Guard: January 2010
http://chopperguard.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
It's a bike feeling. Saturday, January 23, 2010. Is there a cure? It begins as a large golf ball sized spasm deep in the calf muscle. Nothing too serious that can’t be managed with careful mid-bunch riding, you hope. And so it was for me at this weekend’s SRAM Tour de Ranges. Its vicious Monument Road start unleashing a torrent of lactic acid precipitating my untimely Kaiaua Bay demise. And their leader SuperSupreme. The Weet-Bix Ironman Guy. A recently invigorated rider from the French JustJuice team.

Chopper Guard: Fashionably out of date
http://chopperguard.blogspot.com/2010/06/fashionably-out-of-date.html
It's a bike feeling. Friday, June 25, 2010. Fashionably out of date. No one, not even professional cyclists, rides the whole year round. After all, you can’t race a season without a restful off-season. So it makes sense that someone who blogs on cycling matters must also take time away from the keyboard to let the scabs heal and rejuvenate. However, further blunting blogging tendencies is the continuing feast of televised sport. Subject: Dangerous Pit Bull at Point England. To all my cycling mates. On We...

We started out a small group of women in Te Atatu, Auckland, New Zealand, recently determined to return to the art of 'slow cycling' and the joys of getting places in style on two wheels. The group now includes the odd man, who is, of course, a 'handlebro'. This is a record of our ongoing adventures. Bike Friendly North Shore. Woven Baskets for Bikes. NZ site 'Urban Cycles'. The Slow Bicycle blog.
