A great, cheap, cycle accessory!
Only about $15.00 per 100. Disposable Gloves are a great thing to carry when you have to deal to that greasy muddy bike chain after a wheel change or derailleur mishap.

Pedalled for Plunket and some cycling karma?
Today I rode Ruakaka to Wellsford for the Pedal For Plunket 2015 ride and it went well. Although State Highway One is busy we had a support car & van following warning of cyclists ahead. The traffic was great, quite a few supportive toots and waves as they went past.

Back in the day I would have stayed around home all day to see Bathurst. Today I went for a bike ride and watched all of Bathurst! I went into the city to check out the Grafton Gully cycle path which opened while I was away. It threads through Spaghetti
