Born in 1946 I learnt to cycle about 10 years later. On a bike with rods connecting brake levers to the brakes - anyone remember those? I emigrated to Australia (from the UK) in 1974 and moved to Tasmania in 1984. Bicycles were in my life for most of that time although sometimes they were replaced by motorised two wheels for a bit more excitement. On reaching 70 I decided to stick to pedal power but in 2019 an electric recumbent made an appearance. it's now 2023 and I have 3 bikes. 2 e-recumbents and the Brompton.

A few days in Devonport – Day 3

A noisy night. Around midnight the hoons retired for the evening but then the general background hum of machinery with a bit of surf added in seemed worse than previous nights. Maybe the wind direction?

Riding the Devonport Shared Paths

I had a good sleep although it took a bit of time to drop off – yes the Hoons were out last night. Before sunrise (about 5.30am) the incoming Spirit of Tasmania let rip with its fog horn to warn of its entry into the river. So it was an early up too but feeling rested.
