Esper Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Taken on my way to work this morning. There are wildfires on the other side of the mountains sending smoke into the air. The air is currently filled with smoke and this is the sun piercing through the dark clouds of ash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where choppers fly by Boats to the North (EUCs not catching on to prospective buyers). Dock fees and boat services rule.

Nice shot overlooking the Wellington waterfront from Oriental Parade. Was the photo taken earlier in the year during warmer weather? Not many people wear shorts at 12+- deg C this time of year. This would be a fantastic ride from Petone to Evans Bay - all you need are more customers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFU's caption states: "Today" and the sun was definitely shining today in my part of NZ too, added to the fact that this would have been a test ride of only very recently imported King Song stock for @The Fat Unicyclist's Brand New EUC business, it therefore could not have been taken earlier in the year! We enjoy a very temperate climate here in NZ, even over these winter months it is still mostly warm enough to venture out on the wheel if the sun is out.

We enjoy a very temperate climate here in NZ, even over these winter months it is still mostly warm enough to venture out on the wheel if the sun is out. The high has been 11-13 over the past few days. The windchill around the harbour drops below 10 or more. Not many shorts are out at that temp, yet there are a few people wearing shorts down the parade in the photo, hence the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The Fat Unicyclist Veteran Member Posted 19 minutes ago 4 hours ago, Hunka Hunka Burning Love said: I like the stealthiness of the Tesla. You can roll up behind people and creep them for quite some time before they realize you're there. I was doing that today... I had to "test ride" a new KS-16S, so thought it would be good to do around the Wellington waterfront, at lunchtime. So there are all these pained looking runners out there, and I can just slide up until I am just in their line of sight... So many of them see me and then try to increase their speed. All the while I can just stand there "aimlessly". And just when they reach that point of, "What the f..." I just lean forward a little and leave them somewhere way behind me. I do feel a little bad for doing this, but only a little." So maybe it was the runners, @The Fat Unicyclist mentions, that you could see in the photo wearing shorts.

This was taken at about 13:00 today (17 August 2018)… As you may recall, regardless of the time of year, every so often Wellington just turns on one of those awesome days - and today was one of them! I was riding in just jeans and a tee-shirt (and wrist-guards / helmet, of course). Along the water-front there was no real wind, and the heat from the sun made it feel like 15-20°C. It was simply fantastic! 41 minutes ago, fbhb said: TFU's caption states: "Today" and the sun was definitely shining today in my part of NZ too, added to the fact that this would have been a test ride of only very recently imported King Song stock for @The Fat Unicyclist's Brand New EUC business, it therefore could not have been taken earlier in the year!

In urgent need of testing before it was too late. It was actually just after I caught up with @Mishkin to share some of my toys with him! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
