Crashed bike lying on the ground!

Cyclists / walkers be careful this time of year. 🚲 🚶‍♀️

Just had my first encounter with black ice and the ice won!

For those cycling to the city from Port Chalmers be very careful at the southern end of the Roseneath cutting at the chicane as it's like an ice rink! 🧊⛸️❄️

"Weebles Wobble (But They Won't Fall Down)"

Highly recommend the newly curated Seung Yul Oh installation at DPAG.

Fun for children and adults alike, but considering it's right next to our Council rooms, what better place for a creative mental reset between meetings!

Picture of two people shaking hands.

I have many Indian & Pakistani friends here and across the world, so let's hope that peace prevails in the current conflict.

I have lived, worked and travelled in India over many years and met my wife in Pakistan so therefore feel tremendous affinity with this gorgeous part of our planet. ❤️ 🇵🇰 🇮🇳 ☮️🕊

Great buzz down at the University of Otago today for Clubs & Socs Day

Lots of interest at the New Zealand Labour Party students stall and my first interaction with Helen White, MP for Mt Albert (BIG shoes to fill in that electorate!)

Also garnered lots of interest in my 'BIKE THIEVES SUCK' tshirt

Our Escarpment Dome accommodation.

Friends in front of the dome.

Awesome way to spend the weekend and to catch up with some old friends.

If you're up Wellington way, don't miss out on staying at the magical Escarpment Domes. Beautiful design, stunning views, great music / books, accessible hiking, and an ever-changing outlook as the day moves on!

View of a packed George Street

A 'fairy' entertainer waves to the crowd.

Me at the Market with Rachel Brooking MP.

The crowds watch street entertainers.

Magical day in Ōtepoti / Dunedin today.

Congratulations to all the Dunedin City Council staff involved, working with local businesses, who helped to put on today's inaugural George Street Market - Amazing!

Just on Ōtepoti / Dunedin's doorstep, Orokonui Ecosanctuary - Te Korowai o Mihiwaka is definitely looking and feeling like the extraordinary place it is at the moment.

On my bike looking down on Port Otago.

View across the Otago Harbour from Port Chalmers looking at the Peninsula.

Aotearoa Bike Challenge month has a tendency to make me ride even more than I normally do, but cycling up and down the hills around Port Chalmers in today's stifling heat was a wee bit mad!

The dragon dance in front of Dunedin Chinese Garden

The dragon dance in front of Dunedin Chinese Garden

Since I was a kid (born in Singapore and schooled in Hong Kong) I've been fascinated by snakes, so no surprise that I was born in the Year of the Snake! 🐍🇨🇳

Congratulations to our DCC staff and all those in Ōtepoti's Chinese community who put on such a fantastic Chinese New Year event last night.

Me very carefully holding a box containing two precious tīeke (saddlebacks) prior to release

I was so honoured to be invited to be part of the tīeke (saddleback) release at Orokonui Ecosanctuary - Te Korowai o Mihiwaka yesterday, a truly magical experience.

Thanks to the many people involved over the years in getting the project to this point, incredible mahi.

Dunedin City Councillor Steve Walker cycling in central Dunedin with 'Giles the Penguin' attached to the back of his bicycle.

Before anybody asks, yes it was me cycling across the city yesterday with a penguin on the back of my bike as part of the Save Our Southern Hospital campaign!

I carried Giles (the Dunedin Wildlife Hospital 🐧 mascot) as he was keen to support our Human Hospital getting built in Dunedin NOW!

My traditional yearly 'picking day' after returning from holiday.

Thankfully my dreadfully constructed and hurried netting system I made prior to departure largely worked!
