    This is one of my favourite rides: the road to Bluff Knoll (centre) in the Stirling Range in the southwestern corner of Western Australia. The best thing about this ride is that it is one-way. There is no through traffic; only tourists, hikers and, I'm glad to add, a few cyclists make the...

    This scene is about one or two kilometres away from the rail trail. I hadn't diverted to take the photo; it was more a case of avoiding construction works (concreting the rail trail through a country village).

    No balaclava or heated gloves were needed on this ride across the high country. My route followed a repurposed rail line. Whose wonderful idea was it to convert rails to trails?

    Sunset or sunrise? I ride along the east coast, so this image was made early in the morning which, at this time of year, is decidedly the best time of day to be out. The four-legged swimmer seems to agree! As is so often the case on my rides, to take the photo I had only to stop with my ebike...

    Thank you for sharing the beautiful photos of houses by the sea. I'm not envious because I know that owning a house by the sea is most unlikely to happen in my lifetime but, with the assistance of my ebike, I have been able to follow coastal cycling and walking paths. Here's a favourite. This...
