Time flies

When I read this post it resonated with me, but I was very thankful that I don't have any missing stairs in my life. Now, less than two weeks later it seems that we have a stair go missing at work (I think it had been a bit wobbly for a while). Reading this has given me enough back bone to try and fix it. Not holding my breath, but we'll see...

While films maybe shot on film, as of the end of this year you'll be hard pressed to find a distributor who'll be willing to provide film in NZ/Oz. By extension, there aren't many cinemas that still have film projectors. Film may not die, but it's going to get very niche.

It's because of incidents like this that cyclists aren't welcome on the road or off it. We're too fast to be in close proximity to pedestrians and too slow for motorists. What's a well meaning cyclist to do?

Being aware of cyclists on the road requires concious effort. I commute by bicycle and I must admit I get a good feeling inside when I can get along a road faster than those that are sitting in theirs cars. But, not that long ago I was sitting in the passenger seat of a car stopped at some lights and decided to get out. I didn't check my mirror and I nearly took out a cyclist. Fortunately the only thing that happened was I was on the receiving end of some choice words from the cyclist (that I feel I richly deserved). I'm now much more vigilant at checking before I open any door in a car.

If that's what it takes for me as a cyclist to become more aware, what would it take for your average Joe driver to do the same?
