A chat with Simon
Drawn together by a passion for lollygagging and speaking to random strangers, Simon and I have known each other for just shy of 25 years. For the whole time he has had Cool Bikes.

A Grand Day Out
This is definitely a route I would recommend, with some caveats. The section along Lobethal Road to Ashton is a bit busy. It didn't feel dangerous, but it wasn't pleasant.
6,000 km
I tried to win one in a comp. I did a few test rides. Every day became leg day as I rode the bakfiets everywhere.
Best Gear ≠ Best Ride
We pushed on, through the reeds, past the beach, and into a forest, along a rooty path. Through a paddock. Past the cows. And the bull. Over the turnstyle with the bikes.
Don't ride this route.
I ride off, absolutely confused, scared, and thrilled all at the same time. I get to a gate that fortunately is not locked. I unhitch the latch, bring my bike through, and the camel stands there, in the middle of the track, looking at me.
Instagram - it's gone.
There are lots of things happening in the world at the moment.
Reply from the Mayor.
I received a reply yesterday to my letter to the Norwood Payneham and St. Peters Council. It wasn't the reply that I was hoping for, but the one that I was expecting.

Open letter to NPSP.
Relinquishing some of the space dedicated to cars to green space is positive climate action.
Recap: Slow Roll to Pizza #4
It was the biggest group yet, and if it keeps increasing at the same rate, soon* we'll be bigger than the Soup Dumpling Rides in China.
Event Update: Slow Roll to Pizza v4.1
I was recently alerted to the existence of Gorilla Pizza on Brighton Road, in Brighton. I've updated the route to take us there.
Your Vision. Our Future.
The state government (here in South Australia) is after your input. They want to know what the next 30 years of transport and infrastructure should look like. I'm hoping it's going to have lots of walking, bikes, and trains in it.
